Chapter 9: DMA Controller
9.4.1 Write Microcode to Program CCRx for AXI Transactions
The channel microcode is used to set the dmac.CCRx registers to define the attributes of the AXI
transactions. This is done using the DMAMOV CCR instruction.
The user should program the microcode to write to the dmac.CCR{7:0} register before it initiates a
DMA transfer. Here are the AXI attributes that the microcode writes:
1. Program the src_inc and dst_inc bit fields based on the type of burst (incrementing or fixed
address). This affects the ARBURST[0] and AWBURST[0] AXI signals.
2. Program the src_burst_size and dst_burst_size bit fields (number bytes per data beat on AXI).
This affects the ARSIZE[2:0] and AWSIZE[2:0] AXI signals.
3. Program the src_burst_len and dst_burst_len bit fields (number of data beats per AXI burst
transaction). This affects the ARLEN[3:0] and AWLEN[3:0] AXI signals.
4. Program the src_cache_ctrl and dst_cache_ctrl bit fields (caching strategy). This affects the
ARCACHE [2:0] and AWCACHE[2:0] AXI signals.
5. Program the src_prot_ctrl and dst_prot_ctrl bit fields (security state of the manager thread.) If the
manager thread is secure, ARPROT[1] should be set = 0 and if non-secure then it should be set
= 1. ARPROT[0] and ARPROT[2] values should be set = 0. For example:
-Set src_prot_ctrl = 0’b000 if DMA Manager is secure,
-Set scr_prot_ctrl = 0’b010 if DMA Manager is non-secure
6. Program endian_swap_size = 0 (no swapping).
9.4.2 Memory-to-Memory Transfers
This section shows examples of microcode that the DMAC executes to perform aligned, unaligned,
and fixed data transfers. Refer to Table 9-11 for aligned transfer, Table 9-12 for unaligned transfer,
and Table 9-13 for Fixed transfer. MFIFO utilization is also described.
Note: If cached memory is used for the DMA transfers, the programmer should ensure that the
cache coherency be maintained using appropriate cache operations. The cache entries
corresponding to the memory address range should be cleaned and invalidated before
programming DMA channel.
