<p><font size="2" face="Courier New">My application needs a fast way to access a specific physical DDR memory region. The application runs on an MPC8548 PowerPC which has an MMU. I've tried two approaches that are typical for Linux, mmap() and using a kernel module that implements read()/write() into this region and I'm finding that performance is very slow for both. It's a couple orders of magnitude slower than, for example, copying a large buffer from one place in the application's virtual memory to another place in the application's virtual memory.</font><br>
