DSP: TMS320C6713B
FPGA: Xilinx V7
interface: EMIF
Data Bus: 32-bit
Bus clock: 100MHz

Then how to calculate the effective bandwidth?
Could anyone tell me the method...
 

Uh, okay...

32*100xe6 = 3,200,000,000 bps

that is the raw transfer rate, you will have to subtract the protocol from that, which is dependent on whether or not you have a single cycle, burst, or a mix of transfer types on the bus.

You will have to calculate the percentage of a transfer that is actually the data.

E.g. if a transfer takes 10 clock cycles and you only transfer 1 32-bit word then you have only 1/10 the bandwidth used for transferring your data so your effective bandwidth on the bus is going to be 320,000,000 bps.
 

Thanks! I got a bit more clear now.
But I don't know what's the protocol to substract. It depends on actual design, right? Sychronous or Asychronous...
If there is the data timing diagram, it may be much easier to understand.
Would you please show a true design, and calculate the percentage of data? Really appreciate it...

any cycle that is not transferring data out of the entire cycle.

Learn to use google...https://www.google.com/search?q=emif+timing+diagram&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

No, can't do that.
