11.15.4.2 DMA_mode
Specifies the DMA mode of operation. Two modes have been defined: Normal and
Automatic Transfer Length Extraction (ATLE) mode. In normal mode, software initializes
the DMA_buffer_length for OUT endpoints. In ATLE mode, the DMA_buffer_length is
extracted from the incoming data. See Section 11.15.7 “
Auto Length Transfer Extraction
(ATLE) mode operation” on page 263 for more details.
11.15.4.3 Next_DD_valid
This bit indicates whether the software has prepared the next DMA descriptor. If set, the
DMA engine fetches the new descriptor when it is finished with the current one.
11.15.4.4 Isochronous_endpoint
When set, this bit indicates that the descriptor belongs to an isochronous endpoint. Hence
5 words have to be read when fetching it.
11.15.4.5 Max_packet_size
The maximum packet size of the endpoint. This parameter is used while transferring the
data for IN endpoints from the memory. It is used for OUT endpoints to detect the short
packet. This is applicable to non-isochronous endpoints only. This field should be set to
the same MPS value that is assigned for the endpoint using the USBMaxPSize register.
11.15.4.6 DMA_buffer_length
This indicates the depth of the DMA buffer allocated for transferring the data. The DMA
engine will stop using this descriptor when this limit is reached and will look for the next
descriptor.
In Normal mode operation, software sets this value for both IN and OUT endpoints. In
ATLE mode operation, software sets this value for IN endpoints only. For OUT endpoints,
hardware sets this value using the extracted length of the data stream.
For isochronous endpoints, DMA_buffer_length is specified in number of packets, for
non-isochronous endpoints in bytes.
11.15.4.7 DMA_buffer_start_addr
The address where the data is read from or written to. This field is updated each time the
DMA engine finishes transferring a packet.
11.15.4.8 DD_retired
This bit is set by hardware when the DMA engine finishes the current descriptor. This
happens when the end of the buffer is reached, a short packet is transferred
(non-isochronous endpoints), or an error condition is detected.
11.15.4.9 DD_status
The status of the DMA transfer is encoded in this field. The following codes are defined:
• NotServiced - No packet has been transferred yet.
• BeingServiced - At least one packet is transferred.
• NormalCompletion - The DD is retired because the end of the buffer is reached and
there were no errors. The DD_retired bit is also set.
