LPC burst accesses

Hi, I am in the process of optimizing read accesses to an FPGA in one of our = custom mpc5200b boards. I have attempted to do this in two ways, i.e. 1) With the the general SDMA task. Also used by the AC97 audio codec = driver. 2) Trought the SCLPC fifo offered in relation with the LP bus. The documentation on freescales site is somehow very vague and even = though they talk about read burst accesses they also seem not to be able to guarantee under = what conditions burst accesses are generated/not generated. The result that I am seeing = is that even though=20 that the DMA task and fifo is working as expected (transfering data from = the FPGA to memory/fifo) burst reads are _never_ generated (short burst/long burst). Is there any enlightened soul out there that might shed a litle light on = this issue or point me into=20 the right direction where I can find more concrete documentation. I am using linux 2.6.23 as base for these experiments. rg kd
