Hi, Nicolas:

In [1], it shows OVL could output data to WDMA which could write data into DRAM.
Its control is similar to RDMA. RDMA read data from DRAM and WDMA write data into DRAM.
Do you have interest to implement WDMA?
This is just a suggestion.
I could accept we believe what document say first and wait for someone to verify it.
