13.4 Functional description
This section provides a functional description of the DMA Channel Mux. The primary purpose of the
DMA Channel Mux is to provide flexibility in the system’s use of the available DMA channels. As such,
configuration of the DMA Mux is intended to be a static procedure done during execution of the system
boot code. However, if the procedure outlined in Section 13.5.2, Enabling and Configuring Sources, is
followed, the configuration of the DMA Channel Mux may be changed during the normal operation of the
system.
Functionally, the DMA Channel Mux channels may be divided into two classes: Channels, which
implement the normal routing functionality plus periodic triggering capability, and channels, which
implement only the normal routing functionality.
13.4.1 DMA Channels with periodic triggering capability
Besides the normal routing functionality, the first 4 channels of the DMA Mux provide a special periodic
triggering capability that can be used to provide an automatic mechanism to transmit bytes, frames or
packets at fixed intervals without the need for processor intervention. The trigger is generated by the
Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT); as such, the configuration of the periodic triggering interval is done via
configuration registers in the PIT. Please refer to Chapter 27, Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT), for more
information on this topic.
Table 13-5 shows the mapping of PIT channels to DMA channels for triggering.
