NOTES:
1. Application has a need to copy data items from three separate location in memory into a peripheral data
register.
2. Application sets up μDMA “task list” in memory, which contains the pointers and control configuration for three
uDMA copy “tasks.”
3. Application sets up the channel primary control structure to copy each task configuration, one at a time, to the
alternate control structure, where it will be executed by the μDMA controller.
