7. TCD1b executes a scatter-gather operation, and reloads its TCD descriptor with TCD1a

8. TCD1a has the TCD.start bit cleared in the descriptor

Once the peripheral requests another transfer, the series of steps repeats.

Basically, the TCDs ping-pong between each other, with the throttling of block/frame transfers done by

the peripheral (hardware request) or by software (software request).

TCD Memory Initialization

As the TCD Memory does not have ECC, there is no requirement to initialize the memory in a specific

manner.

The SPP DMA Controller Module (SPP_DMA2)

This section provides a more detailed description of the generice SPP DMA Controller Module.

The DMA (Direct Memory Access) is a second-generation platform module capable of performing

complex data transfers with minimal intervention from a host processor via “n” programmable channels.

Intended for use as part of the Standard Product Platform (SPP), the hardware microarchitecture includes

a dma_engine which performs source and destination address calculations, and the actual data movement

operations, along with a local memory containing the transfer control descriptors (TCD) for the channels.

This SRAM-based implementation is utilized to minimize the overall module size.

Figure 12-1 is a block diagram of the DMA module.
