you mean it will be set by hard circuit ? maybe i should talk with your hard
engineer.
but as you say, the width will be hard-coded, mean that the width can not be
changed ? 
it can fetch 16 bits to 32bits, can not tetch 16bits to 16bits ?

i am sorry about my poor English, i am not sure if i expressed clearly

that's right, BRx and ORx should be configured for setting width, but that
is bus width, not data width. or bus width should be equal to data width
what fetch from the bus ?

all right, i will , thanks a lot
