Initiating an EDMA Transfer
6-19
EDMA Controller
There are two types of synchronization that can be used to synchronize trans-
fers on each channel. They are:
-
Read/write synchronization (R/WSYNC, FS=0): For non-2D transfers,
each EDMA channel performs a source to destination element transfer
only after receiving a read/write sync event. A read/write sync event can
originate from a peripheral or an external interrupt which is specific for a
given EDMA channel. In the case of 2-D transfers, this EDMA channel
R/WSYNC event is used to transfer an array from the source to the
destination.
-
Frame (block) synchronization (FS=1): Setting FS=1 in the options field
of an EDMA channel’s transfer parameters causes the channel’s frame
transfers to be synchronized as per the event shown in Table 6–4. For the
case of non-2D transfers, each frame is transferred when the sync event
is detected. For 2-D transfers, frame sync causes an entire block (group
of arrays) to be transferred. Each frame transfer waits for the selected
frame sync event to occur to start the transfer.
