TMS320C6678: The issue about C6678 EMIF connect with an Xilinx FPGA

Part Number: TMS320C6678

I have two issues about C6678 EMIF connect with an Xilinx FPGA:

1、Does C6678 EMIF bus support Burst Mode when it connect to an FPGA?

2、The Max data rate of EMIF works with an FPGA,and  the EMIF mode,sync or async?

  • Hi Rong Yang,

    I've forwarded this to the EMIF experts. Their feedback should be posted here.

  • Hi Rong,

    The EMIF for the C6678 was included to allow for NOR boot and wasn't designed to fast data transfer. There is no burst mode support but you can set up a DMA to transfer data. We don't publish throughput rates for the EMIF but there are a number of E2E posts concerning the issue.  Also note that the C6678 doesn't support synchronous transfers. Only asynchronous transfers are available. 

    Regards,
