Re: I/O bit banging speed.

2004-03-31 by embeddedjanitor

I was hoping to achieve faster speeds, but since the GPIO is pretty 
slow and I got pretty much the same speeds as mentioned in message 37 
(ie. somewhere around 150ns per bit, 300ns per cycle). I've since 
decided to go with a CPLD for faster clocking (ie. LPC210x writes 8 
bits at a time into a CPLD which then clocks the data out faster).

The bottleneck is the GPIO which seems to use many clocks to effect a 
write. Thus, fiddling the VPB clock changes the performance 
significantly but the MAM does not has as much impact.
