2. Program the destination end pointer at offset 0x074 to the address of the peripheral's transmit
FIFO register.
The control word at offset 0x078 must be programmed according to Table 8-10.

Arbitrates after 4 transfers
Transfer 64 items
N/A for this transfer type
Use Basic transfer mode
Note:
In this example, it is not important if the peripheral makes a single request or a burst request.
Because the peripheral has a FIFO that triggers at a level of 4, the arbitration size is set to
4. If the peripheral does make a burst request, then 4 bytes are transferred, which is what
the FIFO can accommodate. If the peripheral makes a single request (if there is any space
in the FIFO), then one byte is transferred at a time. If it is important to the application that
transfers only be made in bursts, then the Channel Useburst SET[7] bit should be set in
the DMA Channel Useburst Set (DMAUSEBURSTSET) register.
Start the Transfer
Now the channel is configured and is ready to start.
1. Enable the channel by setting bit 7 of the DMA Channel Enable Set (DMAENASET) register.
The μDMA controller is now configured for transfer on channel 7. The controller makes transfers to
the peripheral whenever the peripheral asserts a μDMA request. The transfers continue until the
entire buffer of 64 bytes has been transferred. When that happens, the μDMA controller disables
the channel and sets the XFERMODE field of the channel control word to 0 (Stopped). The status of
the transfer can be checked by reading bit 7 of the DMA Channel Enable Set (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 0x078. This field is
automatically cleared at the end of the transfer.
If peripheral interrupts are enabled, then the peripheral interrupt handler receives an interrupt when
the entire transfer is complete.
Configuring a Peripheral for Ping-Pong Receive
This example configures the μDMA controller to continuously receive 8-bit data from a peripheral
into a pair of 64-byte buffers. The peripheral has a receive FIFO with a trigger level of 8. The example
peripheral uses μDMA channel 8.
Configure the Channel Attributes
First, configure the channel attributes:
