Direct Memory Access

In a real-time system, DMA is used to transfer data
from peripheral/memory and memory/peripheral
without burdening the CPU :
Input Data
Memory
DMA
serial or parallel
Let’s see how the
DMA performs
its tasks...

Terminology
- Element: basic unit of transfer (1, 2 words)
- Frame: multiple elements (1-64K)
- Block: multiple frames (1-256)

Max Speed: One 16-bit word per 4 CPU cycles (all channels combined)

Transfer dependent upon:
- Source/destination address
- Rotating priority between channels
- Event sync (different events can be selected)
- Element/Frame count
- Index (can select: no modification, inc/dec by 1 and element/frame index)

Indefinite number of transfers.
Base address must be a power of two, 2r >N,
with N being the buffer size.
One side must be without address modification
and the other can only use an indexing mode.

DMA Registers – Interrupt Mode

DINM, IMOD and CTMOD specify
interrupt mode:



DINM: no interrupt on transfer completion if 0.
CTMOD: multiframe mode if 0, ABU mode if 1.
IMOD: depend on CTMOD


ESIEE, Slide 8
ESIEE
Multiframe mode: interrupt occurs at end of block
transfer if 0, else at the end of each frame and at the
end of block transfer.
ABU mode: interrupt occurs when buffer is full if 0,
else at half buffer full and at buffer full condition.

sub-bank addressing

Other DMA Issues

Auto-Initialization:
- At end of block, DMA copies reload registers to channel registers
- Reload registers can be altered at any time
- Every channel can select to use auto-init and reload registers
- Allows user to provide “continuous” or “repetitious” operation

DMA Throughput
DMA throughput is affected by the combination of:
1
CPU has FIXED priority over the DMA
- Affects access to: RHEA, EMIF, SARAM, DARAM
2
PRIO bits: (DMA_CCRn:6) sets priority(hi/low) for DMA channel n
EHPI PRIO bit: (DMA_GCR:0) sets priority for EHPI Aux. channel
- Affects access to the two 16-bit DMA buses
- Can select high or low priority round robin (per element transfer)
High

Ch-2

Low

- waiting for event sync
- transfers are complete

EHPI EXCL bit: (DMA_GCR:1)
- Affects access to internal/external memory
- EXCL=1: EHPI accesses internal RAM only, DMA external RAM only

Other DMA Issues

Auto-Initialization:
- Each channel contains “config” and “working” register sets. When
auto-init is enabled, the “working registers” are reloaded from the
“config” registers (which you can access via I/O memory)
- Continuous operation: can change init/reload registers during current
block transfer. Next transfer uses new values. Does not stop DMA.
- Repetitive Operation: same init/reload registers used every time
Refer to the documentation for a complete list of the DMA registers
