Ok, update. So far I arrived at a point where I can avoid the PIO trouble.

If I only do transfers shorter or equal in length to 3 bytes via PIO, it works 
as expected. If the transfer is longer, the LA shows very long transfer 
happening actually. Therefore, the pumping of data in loop to/from PIO via the 
DATA register doesn't work.

I will update you more later, once I figure out something else. Now I need some 
sleep.

Best regards,
