REG_NDMAGCNT

BIT DESCRIPTION
19-16 Cycle selection.
31 DMA arbitration method. 0=Fixed method, 1=Round robin

REG_NDMASAD

BIT DESCRIPTION
31-0 Source data address. Must be multiple of 4.

Like old DMA, REG_NDMASAD is copied to internal registers when written to.

REG_NDMADAD

BIT DESCRIPTION
31-0 Destination data address. Must be multiple of 4.

Like old DMA, REG_NDMADAD is copied to internal registers when written to.

REG_NDMATCNT

BIT DESCRIPTION
27-0 Total number of words transferred.

REG_NDMAWCNT

BIT DESCRIPTION
23-0 Number of words to transfer.

REG_NDMABCNT

BIT DESCRIPTION
15-0 Interval timer.
17-16 Prescaler. 0=System freq, 1=1/4th freq, 2=1/16th freq, 3=1/64th freq.

REG_NDMAFDATA

BIT DESCRIPTION
31-0 Fill data.

REG_NDMACNT

BIT DESCRIPTION
11-10 Destination address update method. 0=Increment, 1=Decrement, 2=Fixed.
12 Destination address reload flag.
14-13 Source address update method. 0=Increment, 1=Decrement, 2=Fixed, 3=No address (for filling)
15 Source address reload flag.
19-16 Block transfer word count = (1<<x) words.
27-24 Startup mode.
28 Immediate mode.
29 Repeating mode.
30 IRQ enable
31 Enable/busy flag.


Startup modes (27-24)

???

Block transfers

First, a word is always 32 bits. Second, the block transfer specified in REG_NDMACNT is the smallest atom of data that will be transferred in a burst. The bus is monopolized until this block is transferred, without splitting up.

The next block transfer will happen after the specified time in the REG_NDMABCNT interval timer, until done.

Immediate mode

Transfers the words specified in REG_NDMAWCNT immediately following block transfer rules. REG_NDMATCNT and repeating mode are ignored.

Repeating mode

Transfers the words specified in REG_NDMAWCNT following the startup mode event. REG_DMATCNT is ignored.

No immediate and no repeating mode

Transfers the words specified in REG_NDMAWCNT for each startup event, and gets disabled when the total number of words in REG_NDMATCNT are transferred.
