You are right but my point was that this was not possible with the *supplied
code*
sample. But as you point it is always possible to have this working but here
the Program_DMA generic unit must be moved to the spec (or another spec
package). But here you have a side effect. The generic unit is now visible
to
users ! Maybe there is a nice way to handle that with some child
libraries...
