I've been trying to hunt down the maximum frequency on the BeagleBone Black 
GPIO pins.

This *seems* to be dominated by the transaction latency across the L3/L4 
interconnect.  Fair enough.  So ...


What's the latency number?


I've *measured* about 166ns per transaction (I can create a roughly 3MHz 
toggle which is 2 pin flips which requires 6MTransactions/s which is 
166.66ns per transaction).  But I don't know how to *calculate* that number 
from the documentation.

I've been through the TI reference manuals, the TI support forums, and a 
bunch of other things, but *nobody* seems to be able to cough up an actual 
number for this.

Anybody have some references to frequencies and bus wait numbers?  They may 
be out there, but GTMF/RTFM doesn't seem to be sufficient.

I don't need turbo speed, but the fact that it's entirely possible that I 
may not even be able run at 1MHz (something *painfully* easy for most M0 or 
M3/M4 cores) is, frankly, a bit of a shock.

Thanks.
