some more experiments resulted in this plot: https://files.niemo.de/fifo_interface_idle.svg

interestingly the "bursts" the ft601 accepts are always 2k in size

when we force the burst size to 1k we get pretty exactly half the bandwidth
12:10
anuejn
(180Mbyte /s)

anuejn: so this all seems to hint at 360MB/s being some kind of hard limit I assume?
12:36
vup
we think it has to do with the mode we are using, there are two modes: 245 and 600
12:37
vup
currently we are using the 245 mode, and this indeed looks like it might be kind of a hard limit in this mode
12:39
vup
however we think using the 600 mode it might be possible to get better performance, and one can then have multiple parallel channels, which means that even if the ft601 is busy sending the packets for one of the channels, it might accept new data on one of the other channels and thus decreasing the number of cycles we are not sending anything
12:41
anuejn
but we are not shure if it is worth the labour to put into that performance optimization
12:41
anuejn
even if we would get like 380 Mb/s that is not much more and probably quite some additional work
12:42
se6ast1an
I see
12:42
se6ast1an
sustainable 360MB/s is indeed a very good value for one plugin module
12:43
se6ast1an
which we could double by using 2
12:45
anuejn
ok so it would be sufficient for doing 16:9 4k 12bit 24fps (which is 339.7386 megabyte/s)
12:45
anuejn
so i think it is not worth the additional time investment
13:00
se6ast1an
agreed
13:01
se6ast1an
what steps are required to actually get video data to/from the usb3 plugin module?
13:01
se6ast1an
I assume it require zynq gateware changes as well

anuejn
probably
13:41
anuejn
and a working usb3 plugin
13:41
anuejn
and some gataware on the machxo
