Table 27 Loadparams Address Mapping

Address Corresponding Parameter

Address 24 This address is mapped to the parameter Burst size (measured in 32-bit (PCI-X FPGA) words). This parameter sets the number of 32-bit words to transfer in one

PCI-X master cycle. Larger bursts achieve higher throughput but may increase buffering latency and contention with other devices sharing the same bus. The default value is 1024.

Address 36 This address specifies the count in PCI-X clocks before the DMA buffer is (PCI-X FPGA) transferred to the host if the buffer contains less than the programmed

burst size.
