Subject: Compact Flash PIO 4 tuning
Date: Mon, 05 May 2003 17:53:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3llxkyjxs.fsf@bfnet.com> (raw)

Howdy,

I'm working on an embedded system that has a CF card on the IDE bus.
The CF spec only allows PIO mode, and my card can do PIO 4.  However,
when I try to stream data from this card into memory at 2 MBytes per
second, it pegs the CPU at 100%.  This is ruining the performance of
my application, which has to process this data in real time.

I realize that PIO 4 requires CPU involvement, but are there ways I
can tune the kernel for copying large files to memory, so that my
application doesn't get starved of CPU?

Thanks,
Dave
