rc0303

I don't understand why the response for memory transaction 1 would ever not be sent immediately after the first ACK. Is it just because no responses are ready to be sent?

@rc0303 I think you are probably right. It is possible that the processor needs to respond to transaction 1 is busy doing other things, so it just delay its response.

I think that maybe the latency of the first transaction is very long and make the response late.

Drizzle

Is this pipelining performed in hardware, or in software? I was under the impression that it was performed on the chip by default.

yes

@Drizzle Isn't all of this done on chip?
