22.3.21 TCD Minor Byte Count (Minor Loop Disabled)
(DMA_TCDn_NBYTES_MLNO)
This register, or one of the next two registers (TCD_NBYTES_MLOFFNO,
TCD_NBYTES_MLOFFYES), defines the number of bytes to transfer per request.
Which register to use depends on whether minor loop mapping is disabled, enabled but
not used for this channel, or enabled and used.
TCD word 2 is defined as follows if:
• Minor loop mapping is disabled (CR[EMLM] = 0)
If minor loop mapping is enabled, see the TCD_NBYTES_MLOFFNO and
TCD_NBYTES_MLOFFYES register descriptions for the definition of TCD word 2.

DMA_TCDn_NBYTES_MLNO field descriptions
Field
Description
31–0
NBYTES
Minor Byte Transfer Count
Number of bytes to be transferred in each service request of the channel. As a channel activates, the
appropriate TCD contents load into the eDMA engine, and the appropriate reads and writes perform until
the minor byte transfer count has transferred. This is an indivisible operation and cannot be halted. It can,
however, be stalled by using the bandwidth control field, or via preemption. After the minor count is
exhausted, the SADDR and DADDR values are written back into the TCD memory, the major iteration
count is decremented and restored to the TCD memory. If the major iteration count is completed,
additional processing is performed.
NOTE: An NBYTES value of 0x0000_0000 is interpreted as a 4 GB transfer.
