Perhaps because this is a question you can answer
yourself with an oscilloscope and time.

Write a simple test where you toggle an XDIO line.
Disassemble the code to check that it is the minimum
number of lines possible, if not, code it in assembler.
Run the test code with a scope attached to the XDIO
line.

Whats the frequency? This is the best you can do.

If its not good enough, write some VHDL/Verilog :)

Of course, if the data rate between the ARM processor and
the FPGA exceeds the rate you prove with inline assembler,
then it'll never work.

I'm not sure if the TS documentation has information on
the maximum transfer bandwidth between the ARM and the
FPGA - anyone?

I plan to measure it, so when I get done, I'll post the
data.

Cheers,
Dave
