I ask because on our system (Zynq702/706 boards) DDR has a high latency (~25-30 cycles) whereas FPGA memory can be much quicker. What I'd like to do is create a 256Kbyte memory in FPGA BRAMs and then have the CPU point at it for the DMA zone. Is that at all possible through a simple kernel cmdline or patch?
