DMA Controller

The PCI bridge’s DMA controller transfers blocks of data independent of the local core or PCI hosts. Data

movement occurs on the PCI and/or 60x bus. The PCI Bridge’s DMA module has four high-speed DMA

channels with an aggregate bandwidth conservatively estimated at 210 Mbytes per second, for 60x to PCI

transfer. The channels share 144 bytes of DMA-dedicated buffer space to facilitate the gathering and

sending of data. Both the local core and PCI masters can initiate a DMA transfer.

Features of the DMA controller include the following:

•

4 channels

•

Concurrent execution across multiple channels with programmable bandwidth control

•

All channels are accessible by local core and remote PCI masters.

•

Unaligned transfer capability

•

Data chaining and direct mode

•

Interrupt on completed segment, chain, and error

•

Supports all transfer combinations between 60x memory and PCI memory: 60x-to-60x,

PCI-to-PCI, 60x-to-PCI, and PCI-to-60x.

Figure 9-81 shows a block diagram of the DMA controller.

DMA Operation

The DMA controller operates in two modes—chaining and direct. In direct mode, the software is

responsible for initializing the source, destination and byte count registers. In chaining mode, the software

first must build a chain of descriptor segments in external memory, residing either on the 60x or PCI bus,

and then initialize the current descriptor address register to point to the first descriptor segment in the

chain. In both modes, setting the start bit in the DMA mode register begins the DMA transfer.
