EDMA events are captured in the event register. An event is a synchronization
signal that triggers an EDMA channel to start a transfer. If events occur
simultaneously, they are resolved by way of the event encoder. The transfer
parameters corresponding to this event which is stored in the EDMA
parameter RAM, are passed onto the address generation hardware, which
address the EMIF and/or peripherals to perform the necessary read and write
transactions.
The quick DMA (QDMA) is a new feature in the ’C6211/C6711 device that pro-
vides a fast and efficient way to transfer data. QDMA functions similarly to the
EDMA. QDMA is best suited for applications that require quick data transfers,
such as data requests in a tight loop algorithm. See section 6.16 for more de-
tails.
