    It does multiple cycles, driving the appropriate byte enables.

    When going from a wide to narrow it will do cycles with no byte enables asserted!

    and could you please comment on this setup for transfering 192b wide stream to SDRAM. channelwidth is 0 and packets are enabled.

    Dual clock fifo with 8 bitpersym, 24 symperbeat.

    => timing adapter latency: 1 to latency: 0 added by sopcb

    => data format adapter. 8 bitpersym. 24 symperbeat to 4 symperbeat.

    => sgdma, datawidth 32.

    => SDRAM datawidth 32.

    would this be efficient and sensible? i set sgdma datawidth to 32, and enabled packets to ged rid of som errors in sopcbuilder.

    thanks, these cycles would be ignored by the sgdma right?
