RM0046 Enhanced Direct Memory Access (eDMA)
Doc ID 16912 Rev 5 409/936
Figure 195. eDMA operation, part 2
After the inner minor byte count has been moved, the final phase of the basic data flow is
performed. In this segment, the address path logic performs the required updates to certain
fields in the channel’s TCD: for example., SADDR, DADDR, CITER. If the outer major
iteration count is exhausted, then additional operations are performed. These include the
final address adjustments and reloading of the BITER field into the CITER. Additionally,
assertion of an optional interrupt request occurs at this time, as does a possible fetch of a
new TCD from memory using the scatter/gather address pointer included in the descriptor.
The updates to the TCD memory and the assertion of an interrupt request are shown in
Figure 196.
