Burst Priority Register (BPRIO)
The Burst Priority Register (BPRIO) helps prevent command starvation within the DDR2 memory
controller. To avoid command starvation, the DDR2 memory controller momentarily raises the priority of
the oldest command in the command FIFO after a set number of transfers have been made. The
PRIO_RAISE bit sets the number of transfers that must be made before the DDR2 memory controller
raises the priority of the oldest command. The BPRIO is shown in
and described in
.
