DMA-channel Usage
The DMA circuitry incorporates the functionality of two 8237 DMA controllers with seven
programmable channels. The controllers are referenced DMA Controller 1 for channels 0-3
and DMA Controller 2 for channels 4-7. Channel 4 is by default used to cascade the two
controllers.
Channels 0-3 are hardwired to 8-bit count-by-bytes transfers and channels 5-7 to 16-bit
count-by-bytes transfers.
The onboard CS5530A provides 24-bit addressing with the 16 least significant bits [15:0] in
the Current register and the most significant bits [24:16] in the Page register.

Note:
The usage of these DMA-channels depends on the choices made in the Evalue setup
screen. The DMA-channels are fully usable for PC/104 interface if the corresponding
on-board unit is disabled in the setup screen.
