dev board CF interface speed

Hi smithbone,

Sounds like your CF is plenty fast enough. We have a Nios II CF interface working on an Altera DSP Development Kit board. On Monday, I will try the replicate the same type of test you mentioned in your orginal post and let you know the results.

cat speed > /dev/null and time the results.

Also, based on the calculations made in your orginal post, I'm assuming that "MiB" = mebibyte = 2^20 = 1024 ^2 = 1,048,576 bytes? Is that correct?

I wasn't familiar with the "MiB" acronym until I looked it up. I find it interesting that the "mebi" prefix was created to avoid the confusion between what the "mega" prefix meant (1,000,000, 1,048,5467, or even 1,024,000 bytes). You learn something new everyday.
