Introduction
1.7.16 Enhanced Direct Memory Access Controller (eDMA)
The following summarizes the PXN20 implementation of the eDMA controller:
• Support independent 8, 16 or 32 bit single value or block transfers
• Supports variable sized queues and circular queues
• Source and destination address registers are independently configured to post-increment or remain
constant
• Each transfer is initiated by a peripheral, CPU, periodic timer interrupt or eDMA channel request
• Each eDMA channel can optionally send an interrupt request to the CPU on completion of a single
value or block transfer
• DMA transfers possible between system memories, SPIs, I²C, ADC, UART, eMIOS200 and
General Purpose I/Os
• Programmable DMA channel mux allows assignment of any DMA source to any available DMA
channel with up to a total of 64 potential request sources.
1.7.17 Crossbar Switch (XBAR)
The Crossbar Switch allows concurrent accesses between masters and slaves, and provides these features:
• Up to 6 master ports
— Masters: Z6 CPU, Z0 CPU, eDMA, FlexRay, FEC, MLB
• Multiple bus slaves to enable access to flash, SRAM ports and peripherals
• Multiple AIPS bridges to support connection to all peripheral modules
• Crossbar supports consecutive transfers from master to available slaves
• 32-bit internal address bus, 32-bit internal data bus
• User configurable priority arbitration based for masters
• Temporary dynamic priority elevation for IOP and DMA
1.7.18 Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
The MPU provides the following features:
• Supports up to 16 region descriptors for per-master protection
• Start and end address defined with 32-byte granularity
• Overlapping regions supported
• Protection attributes can optionally include process ID
• Protection offered for 4 concurrent read ports
• Read and write attributes for all masters
• Execute and supervisor/user mode attributes for processor masters
NOTE
The MPU is available on the PXN20 only.
