Hence the name :-)

Yes, indeed. We use that extensively at the mcHF to move certain parts
to the CCM memory which is otherwise not so easily accessible (and
should be used with care as it does not support DMA to/from peripherals).
Works great.

Would be happy if I am wrong. Which would mean we get even faster fft on
the M4 almost for free (minus investigation time that is). No problem at
all with me :-)
