Ping-Pong
This mode uses both the primary and alternate control structures for this channel. When the
number of transfers specified by the XFERSIZE field have completed for the current control
structure (primary or alternate), the µDMA controller switches to the other one. These switches
continue until one of the control structures is not set to ping-pong mode. At that point, the µDMA
controller stops. An interrupt is generated on completion of the transfers configured by each
control structure. See “Ping-Pong” on page 685.
Memory Scatter-Gather
When using this mode, the primary control structure for the channel is configured to allow a list
of operations (tasks) to be performed. The source address pointer specifies the start of a table
of tasks to be copied to the alternate control structure for this channel. The XFERMODE field for
the alternate control structure should be configured to 0x5 (Alternate memory scatter-gather)
to perform the task. When the task completes, the µDMA switches back to the primary channel
control structure, which then copies the next task to the alternate control structure. This process
continues until the table of tasks is empty. The last task must have an XFERMODE value other
than 0x5. Note that for continuous operation, the last task can update the primary channel control
structure back to the start of the list or to another list. See “Memory Scatter-Gather” on page 686.
Alternate Memory Scatter-Gather
This value must be used in the alternate channel control data structure when the μDMA controller
operates in Memory Scatter-Gather mode.
Peripheral Scatter-Gather
This value must be used in the primary channel control data structure when the μDMA controller
operates in Peripheral Scatter-Gather mode. In this mode, the μDMA controller operates exactly
the same as in Memory Scatter-Gather mode, except that instead of performing the number of
transfers specified by the XFERSIZE field in the alternate control structure at one time, the
μDMA controller only performs the number of transfers specified by the ARBSIZE field per
trigger; see Basic mode for details. See “Peripheral Scatter-Gather” on page 690.
Alternate Peripheral Scatter-Gather
This value must be used in the alternate channel control data structure when the μDMA controller
operates in Peripheral Scatter-Gather mode.
