Program 16-bit DMA mode digitized sound I/O

Output

bCommand, bMode, wLength.LowByte, wLength.HighByte

Remarks

The

bCommand

byte is organized as:

D7

D6

D5

D4

D3

D2

D1

D0

1

A/D

Auto-Init

FIFO

0

0 = D/A

0 = SC

0 = off

1 = A/D

1 = AI

1 = on

where

D/A stands for digital-to-analog,
A/D for analog-to-digital,
SC for single-cycle DMA mode,
AI for auto-init DMA mode.

FIFO will be re-initialized when the DSP receives any new digitized sound I/O
commands.

The

bMode

byte is organized as:

D7

D6

D5

D4

D3

D2

D1

D0

stereo

signed

0

0

0

0

0 = mono

0 = unsigned

1 = stereo

1 = signed

where the signed bit determines whether the data is signed or unsigned. For
minimum signal amplitude, the signed 16-bit value is 0000h; with unsigned data, the
equivalent value is 8000h.

wLength

is a word giving the number of 16-bit samples less 1.

Refer to command 1Ch on how to terminate auto-init DMA mode.
