DMA Channel 13 Control and Status
EN | DMA Channel Enable. When 1, the channel will respond to triggering events, which will cause it to become BUSY and start transferring data. When 0, the channel will ignore triggers, stop issuing transfers, and pause the current transfer sequence (i.e. BUSY will remain high if already high) |
HIGH_PRIORITY | HIGH_PRIORITY gives a channel preferential treatment in issue scheduling: in each scheduling round, all high priority channels are considered first, and then only a single low priority channel, before returning to the high priority channels. This only affects the order in which the DMA schedules channels. The DMA’s bus priority is not changed. If the DMA is not saturated then a low priority channel will see no loss of throughput. |
DATA_SIZE | Set the size of each bus transfer (byte/halfword/word). READ_ADDR and WRITE_ADDR advance by this amount (1/2/4 bytes) with each transfer. 0 (SIZE_BYTE): undefined 1 (SIZE_HALFWORD): undefined 2 (SIZE_WORD): undefined |
INCR_READ | If 1, the read address increments with each transfer. If 0, each read is directed to the same, initial address. Generally this should be disabled for peripheral-to-memory transfers. |
INCR_READ_REV | If 1, and INCR_READ is 1, the read address is decremented rather than incremented with each transfer. If 1, and INCR_READ is 0, this otherwise-unused combination causes the read address to be incremented by twice the transfer size, i.e. skipping over alternate addresses. |
INCR_WRITE | If 1, the write address increments with each transfer. If 0, each write is directed to the same, initial address. Generally this should be disabled for memory-to-peripheral transfers. |
INCR_WRITE_REV | If 1, and INCR_WRITE is 1, the write address is decremented rather than incremented with each transfer. If 1, and INCR_WRITE is 0, this otherwise-unused combination causes the write address to be incremented by twice the transfer size, i.e. skipping over alternate addresses. |
RING_SIZE | Size of address wrap region. If 0, don’t wrap. For values n > 0, only the lower n bits of the address will change. This wraps the address on a (1 << n) byte boundary, facilitating access to naturally-aligned ring buffers. Ring sizes between 2 and 32768 bytes are possible. This can apply to either read or write addresses, based on value of RING_SEL. 0 (RING_NONE): undefined |
RING_SEL | Select whether RING_SIZE applies to read or write addresses. If 0, read addresses are wrapped on a (1 << RING_SIZE) boundary. If 1, write addresses are wrapped. |
CHAIN_TO | When this channel completes, it will trigger the channel indicated by CHAIN_TO. Disable by setting CHAIN_TO = (this channel). Note this field resets to 0, so channels 1 and above will chain to channel 0 by default. Set this field to avoid this behaviour. |
TREQ_SEL | Select a Transfer Request signal. The channel uses the transfer request signal to pace its data transfer rate. Sources for TREQ signals are internal (TIMERS) or external (DREQ, a Data Request from the system). 0x0 to 0x3a -> select DREQ n as TREQ 0 (PIO0_TX0): Select PIO0’s TX FIFO 0 as TREQ 1 (PIO0_TX1): Select PIO0’s TX FIFO 1 as TREQ 2 (PIO0_TX2): Select PIO0’s TX FIFO 2 as TREQ 3 (PIO0_TX3): Select PIO0’s TX FIFO 3 as TREQ 4 (PIO0_RX0): Select PIO0’s RX FIFO 0 as TREQ 5 (PIO0_RX1): Select PIO0’s RX FIFO 1 as TREQ 6 (PIO0_RX2): Select PIO0’s RX FIFO 2 as TREQ 7 (PIO0_RX3): Select PIO0’s RX FIFO 3 as TREQ 8 (PIO1_TX0): Select PIO1’s TX FIFO 0 as TREQ 9 (PIO1_TX1): Select PIO1’s TX FIFO 1 as TREQ 10 (PIO1_TX2): Select PIO1’s TX FIFO 2 as TREQ 11 (PIO1_TX3): Select PIO1’s TX FIFO 3 as TREQ 12 (PIO1_RX0): Select PIO1’s RX FIFO 0 as TREQ 13 (PIO1_RX1): Select PIO1’s RX FIFO 1 as TREQ 14 (PIO1_RX2): Select PIO1’s RX FIFO 2 as TREQ 15 (PIO1_RX3): Select PIO1’s RX FIFO 3 as TREQ 16 (PIO2_TX0): Select PIO2’s TX FIFO 0 as TREQ 17 (PIO2_TX1): Select PIO2’s TX FIFO 1 as TREQ 18 (PIO2_TX2): Select PIO2’s TX FIFO 2 as TREQ 19 (PIO2_TX3): Select PIO2’s TX FIFO 3 as TREQ 20 (PIO2_RX0): Select PIO2’s RX FIFO 0 as TREQ 21 (PIO2_RX1): Select PIO2’s RX FIFO 1 as TREQ 22 (PIO2_RX2): Select PIO2’s RX FIFO 2 as TREQ 23 (PIO2_RX3): Select PIO2’s RX FIFO 3 as TREQ 24 (SPI0_TX): Select SPI0’s TX FIFO as TREQ 25 (SPI0_RX): Select SPI0’s RX FIFO as TREQ 26 (SPI1_TX): Select SPI1’s TX FIFO as TREQ 27 (SPI1_RX): Select SPI1’s RX FIFO as TREQ 28 (UART0_TX): Select UART0’s TX FIFO as TREQ 29 (UART0_RX): Select UART0’s RX FIFO as TREQ 30 (UART1_TX): Select UART1’s TX FIFO as TREQ 31 (UART1_RX): Select UART1’s RX FIFO as TREQ 32 (PWM_WRAP0): Select PWM Counter 0’s Wrap Value as TREQ 33 (PWM_WRAP1): Select PWM Counter 1’s Wrap Value as TREQ 34 (PWM_WRAP2): Select PWM Counter 2’s Wrap Value as TREQ 35 (PWM_WRAP3): Select PWM Counter 3’s Wrap Value as TREQ 36 (PWM_WRAP4): Select PWM Counter 4’s Wrap Value as TREQ 37 (PWM_WRAP5): Select PWM Counter 5’s Wrap Value as TREQ 38 (PWM_WRAP6): Select PWM Counter 6’s Wrap Value as TREQ 39 (PWM_WRAP7): Select PWM Counter 7’s Wrap Value as TREQ 40 (PWM_WRAP8): Select PWM Counter 8’s Wrap Value as TREQ 41 (PWM_WRAP9): Select PWM Counter 9’s Wrap Value as TREQ 42 (PWM_WRAP10): Select PWM Counter 0’s Wrap Value as TREQ 43 (PWM_WRAP11): Select PWM Counter 1’s Wrap Value as TREQ 44 (I2C0_TX): Select I2C0’s TX FIFO as TREQ 45 (I2C0_RX): Select I2C0’s RX FIFO as TREQ 46 (I2C1_TX): Select I2C1’s TX FIFO as TREQ 47 (I2C1_RX): Select I2C1’s RX FIFO as TREQ 48 (ADC): Select the ADC as TREQ 49 (XIP_STREAM): Select the XIP Streaming FIFO as TREQ 50 (XIP_QMITX): Select XIP_QMITX as TREQ 51 (XIP_QMIRX): Select XIP_QMIRX as TREQ 52 (HSTX): Select HSTX as TREQ 53 (CORESIGHT): Select CORESIGHT as TREQ 54 (SHA256): Select SHA256 as TREQ 59 (TIMER0): Select Timer 0 as TREQ 60 (TIMER1): Select Timer 1 as TREQ 61 (TIMER2): Select Timer 2 as TREQ (Optional) 62 (TIMER3): Select Timer 3 as TREQ (Optional) 63 (PERMANENT): Permanent request, for unpaced transfers. |
IRQ_QUIET | In QUIET mode, the channel does not generate IRQs at the end of every transfer block. Instead, an IRQ is raised when NULL is written to a trigger register, indicating the end of a control block chain. This reduces the number of interrupts to be serviced by the CPU when transferring a DMA chain of many small control blocks. |
BSWAP | Apply byte-swap transformation to DMA data. For byte data, this has no effect. For halfword data, the two bytes of each halfword are swapped. For word data, the four bytes of each word are swapped to reverse order. |
SNIFF_EN | If 1, this channel’s data transfers are visible to the sniff hardware, and each transfer will advance the state of the checksum. This only applies if the sniff hardware is enabled, and has this channel selected. This allows checksum to be enabled or disabled on a per-control- block basis. |
BUSY | This flag goes high when the channel starts a new transfer sequence, and low when the last transfer of that sequence completes. Clearing EN while BUSY is high pauses the channel, and BUSY will stay high while paused. To terminate a sequence early (and clear the BUSY flag), see CHAN_ABORT. |
WRITE_ERROR | If 1, the channel received a write bus error. Write one to clear. WRITE_ADDR shows the approximate address where the bus error was encountered (will not be earlier, or more than 5 transfers later) |
READ_ERROR | If 1, the channel received a read bus error. Write one to clear. READ_ADDR shows the approximate address where the bus error was encountered (will not be earlier, or more than 3 transfers later) |
AHB_ERROR | Logical OR of the READ_ERROR and WRITE_ERROR flags. The channel halts when it encounters any bus error, and always raises its channel IRQ flag. |
