Hi everybody,

I have some problems with PC104 bus transfers, and some questions for you, I 
hope that you can help me:

I need to do transfers by PC104 bus, I did it using the bus as GPIO, however 
this bus is so slow in that mode. I get effective reads less than 2MHz, but I 
need to increase this rate transfer at least 10 times.

I contacted to technical support, but they say: 
"The Marvell CPU PCI bus has a performance problem where delayed read 
transactions are only retried 500nS after their are first delayed which is a 
very long time.  (Only approx 20 ns is needed for the FPGA core to complete the 
read)  This will limit FPGA register read speed". 

I want to try using the DMA for ISA devices, but I don't know if this mode is 
completly supported by this board, has anybody used the bus in that way? and 
which is the rate transfer in this case?. I guess this could be the faster way 
to transfer data by this bus.

Any sugestions?.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
Liz
