8-10   
DCONn Bit  Description  Initial State
SERVMODE  [27]  Select the service mode between Single service mode and Whole 
service mode. 
0: Single service mode is selected in which after each atomic transfer 
(single or burst of length four) DMA stops and waits for another DMA 
request. 
1: Whole service mode is selected in which one request gets atomic 
transfers to be repeated until the transfer count reaches to 0. In this 
mode, additional request are not required. 
Note that even in the Whole service mode, DMA releases the bus 
after each atomic transfer and then tries to re-get the bus to prevent 
starving of other bus masters. 
0 
HWSRCSEL  [26:24]  Select DMA request source for each DMA. 
DCON0: 000:nXDREQ0 001:UART0 010:SDI 011:Timer 100:USB device EP1 
DCON1: 000:nXDREQ1 001:UART1 010:I2SSDI 011:SPI 100:USB device EP2 
DCON2: 000:I2SSDO 001:I2SSDI 010:SDI 011:Timer 100:USB device EP3 
DCON3: 000:UART2 001:SDI 010:SPI 011:Timer 100:USB device EP4 
DCON0: 101:I2SSDO 110:PCMIN 
DCON1: 101:PCMOUT 110:SDI 
DCON2: 101:PCMIN 110:MICIN 
DCON3: 101:MICIN 110:PCMOUT 
These bits control the 4-1 MUX to select the DMA request source of 
each DMA. These bits have meanings only if H/W request mode is 
selected by DCONn[23]. 
00 
SWHW_SEL  [23]  Select the DMA source between software (S/W request mode) and 
hardware (H/W request mode). 
0: S/W request mode is selected and DMA is triggered by setting 
SW_TRIG bit of DMASKTRIG control register. 
1: DMA source selected by bit[26:24] triggers the DMA operation. 
0 
RELOAD  [22]  Set the reload on/off option. 
0: auto reload is performed when a current value of transfer count 
 becomes 0 (i.e. all the required transfers are performed). 
1: DMA channel (DMA REQ) is turned off when a current value of 
transfer count becomes 0. The channel on/off bit (DMASKTRIGn[1]) 
is set to 0 (DREQ off) to prevent unintended further start of new 
DMA operation. 
0 
DSZ  [21:20]  Data size to be transferred. 
00 = Byte 01 = Half word 
10 = Word 11 = reserved 
00 
TC  [19:0]  Initial transfer count (or transfer beat). 
Note that the actual number of bytes that are transferred is computed 
by the following equation: DSZ x TSZ x TC. Where, DSZ, TSZ (1 or 4), 
and TC represent data size DCONn[21:20], transfer size DCONn[28], 
and initial transfer count, respectively. This value will be loaded into 
CURR_TC only if the CURR_TC is 0 and the DMA ACK is 1.
