shows a peripheral scatter-gather example.

In
Initialization
1. The host processor configures the primary data structure to operate in peripheral scatter-gather mode
by setting cycle_ctrl to 110b. Because a data structure for a single channel consists of four words, 2
R
must be set to 4. In this example, there are four tasks, and therefore N is set to 16.
2. The host processor writes the data structure for tasks A, B, C, and D to the memory locations that the
primary src_data_end_ptr specifies.
3. The host processor enables the channel.
