SDRAM Bank Interleave
This field selects 2-bank or 4-bank interleave for the installed
SDRAM. Disable the function if 16MB SDRAM is installed.
Settings: Disabled, 2-Way and 4-Way.
SDRAM Burst Length
This setting allows you to set the size of Burst-Length for DRAM. Bursting
feature is a technique that DRAM itself predicts the address of the next
memory location to be accessed after the first address is accessed. To use
the feature, you need to define the burst length, which is the actual length of
burst plus the starting address and allows internal address counter to
properly generate the next memory location. The bigger the size, the faster
the DRAM performance. Settings: 4 QW, 8 QW.
SDRAM 1T Command
This setting controls the SDRAM command rate. Selecting Enabled allows
SDRAM signal controller to run at 1T (T=clock cycles) rate. Selecting Dis-
abled makes SDRAM signal controller run at 2T rate. 1T is faster than 2T.
Setting options: Disabled, Enabled.
