Description

The smallest message size which can be configured in the example design is 64 bytes, which is the width of the FIFO. The aurora core itself sends messages in chunks of 32 bytes. This can be reached with setting the keep bits in a single transfer to half of the bytes. This should flush the datawidth converter and lead to a single transfer of the aurora core. With some small changes to the issue kernel, it could be verified, if this is really the case.

Research direction

Start with the example design and its issue kernel, then trace how a single transfer uses keep bits and reaches the FIFO and Aurora core. Verify the behavior for a message smaller than 64 bytes; done means the kernel test confirms whether the datawidth converter flushes it into one Aurora-core transfer.
