Direct Memory Access (DMA) Advisories
Early Sync Event Stops Block Transfer
Advisory DMA_1
Revision(s) Affected:
1.0 and 1.1
Details:
When a DMA block transfer is initiated by a sync event, if the same sync event occurs before
the last element of the block transfer has been completed, an event drop occurs and the
channel becomes disabled.
Assembler Notification:
None
Workaround:
Ensure that the duration between the sync events is long enough to allow the block transfer to
complete. The DMA end-of-block interrupt can be used as an indicator.
DMA Does Not Support Burst Transfers From EMIF to EMIF
Advisory DMA_2
Revision(s) Affected:
1.0 and 1.1
Details:
The DMA controller does not support burst mode transfers with the EMIF as both the source
and the destination port.
Assembler Notification:
None
Workaround:
Do not use burst mode for EMIF-to-EMIF transfers.
