I've been evaluating the Blackfin using the EZ-KIT and a JTAG ICE.
Looks good on paper, but I have run into a problem. MemDMA to L2 SRAM doesn't seem to work. DMA to other destinations works, but not L2. It partially completes and then locks up the DMA engine. Is this a known problem ? That would be a bummer since the application more or less hinges on the DMA working. Anyone else find the USB debugger that comes with the EZ-KIT is ridiculously slow ? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Check the errata for the Blackfin version on your EZ-Kit. It should be somewhere on ADI's website. > Anyone else find the USB debugger that comes with the EZ-KIT is > ridiculously slow ? Haven't tried it yet. I suppose they're trying to encourage you to buy one of their "real" debuggers. ;) FWIW, I just got the new high-speed PCI ICE today and am seeing a 30% improvement in download speed over the Summit-ICE for 21065L code (about 32k instruction words, mostly in external SDRAM.) |

Hai, May I know from where you are transfering the Data to L2 SRAM. Is it from External Memory? What is the Size of Data that you transfer at a time? We had tried it, I could see no problem. Trasnsferred the data from External SDRAM to L2 SRAM. Buffer Size is 512.
