19.8.2.1 DMA Channel Mode (DCM)
The IDMA channel mode (DCM), shown in Figure 19-9, is a 16-bit field within the IDMA parameter
RAM, that controls the operation modes of the IDMA channel. As are all other IDMA parameters, the
DCM is undefined at reset.
Table 19-5 describes DCM bits.
0x16 DTS Hword Destination transfer size in bytes. All transfers to destination (except the start
alignment and the tail) are written to the bus using this parameter.
In peripheral-to-memory mode, DTS should equal SS_MAX.
In memory-to-peripheral modes, initialize DTS to the peripheral port size if
transfer’s destination is a peripheral. Valid sizes for peripheral destination is 1,
2, 4, and 8 bytes, or peripheral transfer size (if the peripheral accepts bursts).
See Table 19-8. for valid STS values for peripherals.
In fly-by mode, DTS is initialized to the peripheral port size.
• In memory-to-memory mode:
• DTS value is initialized to SS_MAX.
• STS value is initialized to SS_MAX. DTS can be initialized to values other
than SS_MAX in the following conditions:
– DTS must divide SS_MAX.
– DTS must be divided by 32, to enable bursts in steady-state phase.
• See Table 19-8. for valid memory-to-memory DTS values.
0x18 RET_ADD Hword Used to save return address when working in ERM = 1 mode.
0x1A — Hword Reserved, should be cleared.
0x1C BD_CNT Word Internal byte count.
0x20 S_PTR Word Source internal data pointer.
0x24 D_PTR Word Destination internal data pointer.
0x28 ISTATE Word Internal. Should be cleared before every
START_IDMA command.
