DMA unit in HDL

[tnt]

Hi,

From what I understand, using the DMA unit in the core to read from global memory isn't ideal and in general it's better to write to the core from outside than asking the core to read.

So, wouldn't it make sense to implement a small DMA unit inside the PL of the Zynq ?

Cheers,

Sylvain

Sylvain, Yes, it's on our todo list:-)

Anything we can do to help implement the DMA, aolofsson?

how about DMA between host and onboard memory or let e-core to access video buffer directly. don't know whether it is the same thing.
