Chapter 22: Programmable Logic Design Guide
Drawbacks of using a CPU to move data is that a sophisticated CPU is spending cycles performing
simple data movement instead of complex control and computation tasks, and the limited
throughput available. Transfer rates less than 25 MB/s are reasonable with this method.
22.4.3 PS DMA Controller (DMAC) via General Purpose Masters
The PS DMA controller (DMAC) provides a flexible DMA engine that can provide moderate levels of
throughput with little PL logic resource usage (see Figure 22-2). The DMAC resides in the PS and
must be programmed via DMA instructions residing in memory, typically prepared by a CPU. With
support for up to eight channels, multiple DMA fabric cores can potentially be served in the single
DMAC. However, the flexible programmable model might increase software complexity relative to
CPU transfer or specialized PL DMA.
The DMAC interface to the PL is through the general purpose AXI master interfaces, whose 32-bit
width along with the centralized DMA nature (a read and write transaction for each movement) of the
DMAC to limit the DMAC from highest throughput. A peripheral request interface also allows PL
slaves to provide status to the DMAC on buffer state, to prevent transactions involving a stalled PL
peripheral from unnecessarily also stalling interconnect and DMAC bandwidth.
See Chapter 9, DMA Controller for more information on the DMAC controller. More information on
the M_AXI_GP interfaces can be found in Chapter 5, Interconnect.
