Re: RE : SDRAM Bandwidth

I believe the DMA transfers would not take place exactly at the same instant, but
instead would appear on a dig scope as interleaved. From a software perspective,
they would appear to take place concurrently. Two concurrent transfers could be
somewhat slower than if only one transfer was occurring, since they both may compete
with each other and the CPU for access to internal memory busses.

One other comment -- I suggest you connect EMIFA to SDRAM and EMIFB to the FPGA.
There are a number of reasons for this that become apparent if you look through the
data sheet, including boot config Rs attached to EMIFB lines.
