2.3.3. Combining Pin and Byte Swizzling

This example combines the two previous examples, entering the following swizzle parameters:

  • PIN_SWIZZLE_CH0_DQS0=3,1,2,0,4,7,5,6;
  • PIN_SWIZZLE_CH0_DQS2=16,23,18,19,20,21,22,17;
  • BYTE_SWIZZLE_CH0=2,X,X,X,1,0,3,X;

The following table shows the resulting pin placement after DQ pin and byte swizzling.
