I am currently using system console to write to various PIO addresses of varying width and I am seeing that it takes system console ~3ms to write to a single mm address before it can start the write to another.
I am writing to different addresses and there isn't always a consistent sequence of addresses so I don't think I can just use the Avalon ST. What is the best way I can improve my write speed to the FPGA?

Hi Sean,
Can you show me how did you see the time result? Any snapshot would be good

I just take the number of ticks between commands.
master_write_8 $c_path $a 0x05
set t1 [expr [clock microseconds]]
master_write_32 $c_path $b $addr
set t2 [expr [clock microseconds]]
master_write_32 $c_path $c 0x00000000
set t3 [expr [clock microseconds]]
master_write_8 $c_path $d 0x0001
set t4 [expr [clock microseconds]]
master_write_8 $c_path $e 0x0000
set t5 [expr [clock microseconds]]
puts "[expr $t2-$t1]us"
puts "[expr $t3-$t2]us"
puts "[expr $t4-$t3]us"
puts "[expr $t5-$t4]us"

Hi Sean,
Noted. Unfortunately there is no method to speed up the system console.
