This can be done, the SPI seem to have a long list of errata associated with the PDC, though.

I can not see how this can be done with the PDC, unless you're talking about a memcpy() to/from memories (possibly
eeproms) connected to the SPI or similar. Otherwise a hand optimized LDM/STM block copy loop instead of the existing
slow memcpy() might be in order for increasing memcpy() performance in internal RAM?

What was the reason for not having Thumb code in Nut/OS?

Marcus
