Hi,
We recently received an EFUSA9-SKIT-W13 starterskit for our evaluations. One of the first tests that I performed was comparing the IO performance of the eMMC storage on our new starterskit to the NAND IO performance of the EFUSA9-SKIT2-W13 starterskit that we already owned. The test was executed by a simple C# application (Compact Framework) that writes increasingly larger files to the filesystem and measures the performance. All tests were executed on WinCE7 (OS image XIPIMX6_C7E_V100_150202).
To my suprise, the eMMC read performance was drastically lower than the NAND read performance. Below are our figures:
EFUSA9-SKIT-W13 eMMC (Read)
6245 Kb/s
EFUSA9-SKIT-W13 eMMC (Write)
3547 Kb/s
EFUSA9-SKIT2-W13 NAND (Read)
11175 Kb/s
EFUSA9-SKIT2-W13 NAND (Write)
3657 Kb/s
I expected the eMMC performance to be (at least) equal to the NAND performance, expecially since I've done tests with other eMMC systems that were significantly faster (for example 16000 Kb/s read speed). Is there a reason why I'm experiencing this level of read performance on the eMMC ? Is it for example the typical speed of the eMMC component used and is there also an option to fit other (faster) eMMC solutions to the module ?
Kind regards,
