Chapter 9: DMA Controller
Example: IRQ Interrupt Service Routine
The following steps need to be performed in this routine. This routine can support all 8 DMAC IRQs.
1. Check which event has caused the interrupt. Read dmac.INT_EVENT_RIS.
2. Clear the corresponding event. Write to the dmac.INTCLR register.
3. Inform the application that the DMA transfer has finished. Call the user callback function if
registered during DMA transfer setup.
Example: IRQ_ABORT Interrupt Service Routine
The following steps need to be performed in this routine.
1. Determine if a Manager fault occurred. Read dmac.FSRD. If the value of fs_mgr field is set, read
dmac.FTRD to know about the fault type.
2. Determine if a Channel fault occurred. Read dmac.FSRC. If the value of fault_status field for a
channel is set, read dmac.FTRx of the corresponding channel to know about the fault type.
3. Execute DMAKILL instruction. Do this for the DMA Manager or the DMA Channel Thread:
a. For the DMA Manager write the dmac.DBGINST0 register (refer to Appendix B, Register
Details) and enter the:
- Instruction byte 0 encoding for DMAKILL.
- debug_thread bit to 0. This selects the DMA manager.
b. For the DMA Channel Thread write the dmac.DBGINST0 register and enter the:
- Instruction byte 0 encoding for DMAKILL.
- channel_num bit set to the channel number to kill.
- debug_thread bit to 1. This selects the DMA channel thread.
c. Wait until the dbgstatus field in dmac.DBGSTATUS is busy.
d. Write 0x0 to the dmac.DBGCMD register to execute the instruction that the DBGINSTx
registers contain.
9.3.4 Register Overview
Table 9-10 provides an overview of the DMA Controller registers.
Table 9-10: DMAC Register Overview
Function Register Name Overview
DMAC Control dmac.XDMAPS_DS
dmac.XDMAPS_DPC
Provides the security state and the program counter.
Interrupts and Events dmac.INT_EVENT_RIS
dmac.INTCLR
dmac.INTEN
dmac.INTMIS
Enables/disables the interrupt detection, mask interrupt sent to
