Dear all, Hi. I have a question about the EMIF speed. I have some experimental testing using EMIF to read external FIFO that capture image from CMOS sensor. My problem is my EMIF speed is only 400kb. Because of the low speed of the EMIF, I couldnt capture image for real time video application. Do anyone have any experience with the EMIF to capture data from CMOS sensor using FIFO/SDRAM ? I want to know that the maximum speed of the EMIF for capture data of synchronous memory/asynchronous memory. Thank you

Henrry, You really need to use DMA to read the FIFO. The CPU cannot read from the EMIF efficiently, but DMA can. In our products we use FIFO flags to interrupt the DSP, where it starts a DMA for the amount that the Flagh says is available. With our products that use synchronous FIFOs we can read more than 200Mbytes/second sustained rate using that technique.

Thanks for the advice.. Its mean alot.
