DMA Overview.

DMA Transaction
A complete DMA read and write operation between memories and/or peripherals is called a DMA transaction. A
transaction is done in data blocks, and the size of the transaction (number of bytes to transfer) is selectable from
software and controlled by the block size and repeat counter settings. Each block transfer is divided into smaller bursts.
5.3.1
Block Transfer and Repeat
The size of the block transfer is set by the block transfer count register, and can be anything from 1 byte to 64KB.
A repeat counter can be enabled to set a number of repeated block transfers before a transaction is complete. The
repeat is from 1 to 255, and an unlimited repeat count can be achieved by setting the repeat count to zero.
5.3.2
Burst Transfer
Since the AVR CPU and DMA controller use the same data buses, a block transfer is divided into smaller burst transfers.
The burst transfer is selectable to 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes. This means that if the DMA acquires the data bus and a transfer
request is pending, it will occupy the bus until all bytes in the burst are transferred.
A bus arbiter controls when the DMA controller and the AVR CPU can use the bus. The CPU always has priority, and so
as long as the CPU requests access to the bus, any pending burst transfer must wait. The CPU requests bus access
when it executes an instruction that writes or reads data to SRAM, I/O memory, EEPROM or the external bus interface.
