Norm, Re late errors: on writes, a late error will always cause a partial write because it is too late to stop the pfsms from sending data. I agree that treating all late errors as partial transfers is reasonable. Of course you are right about the "long transfer" bit indicating a transfer of >= 65,536 words. The experiment which is supposed to generate a timeout now works. This problem was a result of our connecting the lsout signal from the cam chip directly to the node's rs1in input, rather than using the appropriate multipurpose pin. I fixed it by adding a tristate buffer for lsout and enabling it with the modsel signal from the cam chip. The lack of feedback from the cam.edf.v file is my fault; I commented it out while I was debugging because the displayed info was slowing me down. It's back in now. Regarding the delay between Sbus grant and request, we now have a three clock delay from the rising edge of grant to the falling edge of the next request. I will fix this in the next update. On the extra burst subject, it's certainly true that the extra bursts will have a very small effect on long transfers. Shall I remove the hardware? Doug
