We intended to interface a DM6467 to two DSPs and an FPGA via PCI in
order to transfer data between them, and also allow for expansion with
PCI peripherals in the future, if we so desired.  There are some
well-known issues with the PCI master mode hardware on the DM6467, as
well as a lack of master-mode drivers.  The drivers we may have been
willing to write, but a reply from another list member to my original
query stated that TI has no intentions of fixing the hardware bugs.
Therefore, we see no reason to struggle with it and will remain on
DM6446 and just use VLNYQ for our communication bus.

Master mode has throughput issues in the hardware (no burst mode, I
believe), and no software drivers.  If you're looking to transfer video
between the two, which I believe was your application, I would suggest
using the video port (VPFE/VPBE) interfaces.
