Data Delays, Latencies, and Throughput
14-56 ADSP-21368 SHARC Processor Hardware Reference
DMA Stalls
• One cycle if an access to a DMA parameter register conflicts with
the DMA address generation (for example, writing to the register
while a register update is taking place) or reading while a DMA
register conflicts with DMA chaining.
• Attempting to write to (or read from) a full (or empty) DMA
buffer causes the core to hang indefinitely, unless the BHD (buffer
hang disable) bit for that peripheral is set (for example in the corre-
sponding SPCTLx register for a serial port).
IOP Buffer Stalls
Table 14-16 shows the number of stalls incurred with the I/O processor
when writing to a full buffer or reading from an empty buffer.
