Local Bus to IndustryPack DMA Controllers
The IP2 supports two basic types of DMA cycles: “standard DMA”
(sDMA) and “addressed DMA” (aDMA). sDMA cycles are requested by
the IP. When the DMA controller (DMAC) detects a DMA request and if
that DMA controller is enabled, it will acknowledge the request by
transferring data between the local bus and the I/O space of the requesting
IP device. Alternatively, aDMA transfers are not linked to a
request/acknowledge protocol. aDMA cycles are initiated by the DMA
controller as soon as its control registers have been initialized by the
MC68060. It will transfer data between the local bus and a selected IP
module memory space. The IP2 chip implements four DMA controllers
which can operate in the sDMA or aDMA mode.
The DMA controllers can be configured so one is controller attached to
each of the four possible IndustryPack interfaces or so that DMA
controllers a and b are attached to IP_a and controllers c and d are attached
to IP_c. The DMA controllers support 8-, 16-, and 32-bit IndustryPack
widths. The four DMA channels can operate concurrently.
Each DMA controller has a 32-bit local address counter, a 32-bit table
address counter, a 24-bit byte counter, control registers, status registers,
and a 24-bit IP address counter. The data path for each DMA controller
passes through a FIFO which is eight locations deep and four bytes wide.
sDMA transfers and byte count parameters must accommodate the I/O port
width. If the port width is 16 bits, then the byte count must be initialized to
an even value; if the width is 32 bits, then the byte count must be set to a
value which is a multiple of four. This implies that transfer to I/O space
under DMA control will always be the same size as the port width. The IP
address register must be initialized to 0 before sDMA is enabled. This
counter is used to align data in the IP2 Chip.
The data has no alignment restrictions as it is moved to or from the
memory on the local bus. This would typically be DRAM on the MC68060
local bus, but it could also be memory on the VMEbus.
To optimize local bus use when the IndustryPack is less than 32 bits wide,
the FIFO converts 8-bit and 16-bit IP transfers to 32-bit local bus transfers.
The FIFO data path logic also aligns data if the source and destination
