0
HARDRESET
0
Writing a 1 to the hard reset bit resets the whole DMA and aborts any current access
(similar to applying a device reset). Writes of 0 are ignored and this bit always reads back a
0.
For a
soft
reset, a bit is provided for each channel to perform a gentler reset. Refer to the
channel control registers.
If the DMA was performing an access to the XINTF and the DMA access was stalled
(XREADY not responding), then a HARDRESET would abort the access. The XINTF
access would only complete if XREADY is released.
When writing to this bit, there is a one cycle delay before it takes effect. Hence at least a
one cycle delay (i.e., a NOP instruction) after writing to this bit should be introduced before
attempting an access to any other DMA register.
