Description
(1)
Because the R_power field is set to four, set
N
to be a multiple of four. The value given by
N
/4 is the number of times that the
alternate data structure must be configured.

Initialization
1. The host processor configures the primary data structure to operate in memory scatter-gather mode by
setting cycle_ctrl to 100b. Because a data structure for a single channel consists of four words, 2
R
must be set to 4. In this example, there are four tasks, and therefore N is set to 16.
