Start the Transfer
Now the channel is configured and is ready to start.
1. Enable the channel by setting bit 30 of the DMA Channel Enable Set (DMAENASET) register.
2. Issue a transfer request by setting bit 30 of the DMA Channel Software Request (DMASWREQ)
register.
The μDMA transfer begins. If the interrupt is enabled, then the processor is notified by interrupt
when the transfer is complete. If needed, the status can be checked by reading bit 30 of the
DMAENASET register. This bit is automatically cleared when the transfer is complete. The status
can also be checked by reading the XFERMODE field of the channel control word at offset 0x1E8.
This field is automatically cleared at the end of the transfer.
Configuring a Peripheral for Simple Transmit
This example configures the μDMA controller to transmit a buffer of data to a peripheral. The
peripheral has a transmit FIFO with a trigger level of 4. The example peripheral uses μDMA channel
7.
Configure the Channel Attributes
First, configure the channel attributes:
1. Configure bit 7 of the DMA Channel Priority Set (DMAPRIOSET) or DMA Channel Priority
Clear (DMAPRIOCLR) registers to set the channel to High priority or Default priority.
2. Set bit 7 of the DMA Channel Primary Alternate Clear (DMAALTCLR) register to select the
primary channel control structure for this transfer.
3. Set bit 7 of the DMA Channel Useburst Clear (DMAUSEBURSTCLR) register to allow the
μDMA controller to respond to single and burst requests.
4. Set bit 7 of the DMA Channel Request Mask Clear (DMAREQMASKCLR) register to allow
the μDMA controller to recognize requests for this channel.
Configure the Channel Control Structure
This example transfers 64 bytes from a memory buffer to the peripheral's transmit FIFO register
using μDMA channel 7. The control structure for channel 7 is at offset 0x070 of the channel control
table. The channel control structure for channel 7 is located at the offsets shown in Table 8-9.
Table 8-9. Channel Control Structure Offsets for Channel 7
Offset
Control Table Base + 0x070
Control Table Base + 0x074
Control Table Base + 0x078
Description
Channel 7 Source End Pointer
Channel 7 Destination End Pointer
Channel 7 Control Word
Configure the Source and Destination
The source and destination end pointers must be set to the last address for the transfer (inclusive).
Because the peripheral pointer does not change, it simply points to the peripheral's data register.
1. Program the source end pointer at offset 0x070 to the address of the source buffer + 0x3F.
