Introduction
The system direct memory access (DMA) controller transfers data between
points in the memory space without intervention by the MPU. The DMA allows
movements of data to and from internal memory, external memory, and periph-
erals to occur in the background of MPU operation. It is designed to off-load
the block data transfer function from the MPU processor.
Figure 5–1 shows the OMAP5910 device with the DMA controller highlighted.
Figure 5–2 shows the controller in more detail.
