Table 20-9. Global Control Register (GCTRL) Field Descriptions
Bit Field Value Description
31-17 Reserved 0 Reads return 0. Writes have no effect.
16 DMA_EN DMA enable bit. The configuration registers and channel control packets should be setup first
before DMA_EN bit is set to one to prevent state machines from carrying out bus transactions.
If DMA_EN bit is cleared in the middle of an bus transaction, the state machine will stop at an
arbitration boundary.
0 The DMA is disabled.
1 The DMA is enabled.
15 Reserved 0 Reads return 0. Writes have no effect.
14 BUS_BUSY This bit indicates status of DMA external AHB bus status.
0 DMAs external bus is not busy in data transfers.
1 DMAs external bus is busy in data transfers.
13-10 Reserved 0 Reads return 0. Writes have no effect.
9-8 DEBUGMODE Debug Mode.
0 Ignore suspend.
1h Finish current block transfer.
2h Finish current frame transfer.
3h Immediately stop at an DMA arbitration boundary and continue after suspend.
7-1 Reserved 0 Reads return 0. Writes have no effect.
0 DMARES DMA software reset.
Note: In the event a DMA slave does not respond, the DMA module will respond to the
software reset upon reaching an arbitration boundary.
0 Read: Software reset is disabled.
Write: No effect.
1 Read and write: The DMA state machine and all control registers are in software reset. Control
packets are not reset when DMA software reset is active.
