Chapter 9: DMA Controller
4. The DMAC halts execution of the channel 3 thread and the thread stalls while it waits for the next
occurrence of event 6.
9.4.5 Interrupting a Processor
The controller provides the seven active-High sensitive interrupts (IRQ ID #75:72 and 49:46) to the
CPUs via the interrupt controller (GIC). When the INTEN register is programmed to generate an
interrupt, after the DMAC executes DMASEV, the controller sets the corresponding interrupt to an
active High state. The controller can also generate an Abort interrupt (IRQ ID #45) as described in
section 9.2.11 Aborts. The DMAC interrupt enable and mask control registers are shown in
Appendix B, Register Details.
An external microprocessor can clear the interrupt by writing to the Interrupt Clear register.
Executing DMAWFE does not clear an interrupt.
If the DMASEV instruction is used to notify a microprocessor when the DMAC completes a DMALD or
DMAST instruction, ARM recommends that a memory barrier instruction be inserted before the
DMASEV. Otherwise the DMAC might signal an interrupt before the AXI transaction complete.
This is demonstrated in the following example:
DMALD
DMAST
# Issue a write memory barrier
# Wait for the AXI write transfer to complete before the DMAC can
# send an interrupt
DMAWMB
# The DMAC sends the interrupt
DMASEV
9.4.6 Instruction Set Reference
Table 9-14 and Table 9-15 summarize the DMAC instructions and commands.
Refer to ARM PrimeCell DMA Controller (PL330) Technical Reference Manual: AXI Characteristics for a
DMA Transfer and AXI Master for more information about the DMA Engine instructions.
