I did the DMA init test with the orignal DMA code. At that time The DMA method is slower than CPU method. Strange why the result is different. Not sure what is the new DMA code? DMA method needs read and write bus transaction, but CPU doesn't need the read transaction. Alougth the DMA may be burst read/write. Anyway, the test result determine all. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
