Sure sounds like it. Can you make 8 4 bit channels and get 32 bits that
way? It'll still be a pain in the butt, but might use less power.

Patience, persistence, truth,

Hi
I'm using the Blackfin 21535 and I'm having some difficulties getting the
serial port to work as required.

I understand the serial ports on 21160/21160, but I'm baffled by the
Blackfin Implementation

I need to receive a multi-channel signal with only two 16bit channels.
One frame-sync per channel pair.
As I read the manual the DSP only supports multi-channel mode when more
than 8 channels are received (Window size).

Am I right that the only way for me to receive only two channels will be
to have the frame-syncs more than 8 channels apart and then only enable
the first two. (This is a bit annoying, since it will require hardware
changes and add to the power consumption).
