Info

Maximal supported bandwidth is normally limited by

  • FX2 microcontroller's USB connection with host computer (see here);
  • FX2 microcontroller's FIFO interface with FPGA; this interface can transfer up to 48 MB/s burst rate.

 FD[7:0] Bidirectional BidirectionalFD[0:7] are used for byte data transfer
between FPGA and USB FX2 μC.

If the custom IP blocks

  • XPS_FX2 (FX2 microcontroller ↔ FPGA) and

  • XPS_NPI_DMA (FPGA  ↔ DRAM memory)

and MicroBlaze API Commands (MB Commands)

are used, data bytes array could be transfered between

  • TE USB FX2 module's DRAM (MicroBlaze's software) and
  • host computer's memory (host computer's software)
