SocLib Components General Index

VciDma Functional Description

This VCI component is both a target and an initiator.

• Addressing as a target allows to configure it for a transfer.
• Initiator will do the transfer

There is only one DMA context handled at a time

An IRQ is optionally asserted when transfer is finished.

This hardware component cheks for segmentation violation, and can be used as a default target.

Memory region layout

• DMA_SRC

The source of memory copy.

• DMA_DST

The destination of memory copy

• DMA_LEN

Length of transfer, in bytes. Writing to this register initiates the transfer, you should write to it after src and dst. This register gets back to 0 when transfer is finished.

• DMA_IRQ_ENABLED
  • Written to: A boolean enabling the IRQ line (0 is disabling)
  • Read from: A boolean indicating the completion of the transfer, (0 is completed)

Component usage

For extensibility issues, you should access the DMA using globally-defined offsets.

You should include file soclib/dma.h from your software, it defines DMA_SRC, DMA_DST, DMA_LEN, DMA_IRQ_ENABLED.

Sample code:

#include "soclib/dma.h"

static const volatile void* dma = 0xc0000000;

void * memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, const size_t len)
{
    soclib_io_set( dma, DMA_DST, dst );
    soclib_io_set( dma, DMA_SRC, src );
    soclib_io_set( dma, DMA_LEN, len );
    while( soclib_io_get( dma, DMA_LEN ) )
        ;
    return dst;
}

(add -I/path/to/soclib/include to your compilation command-line)

Usage

VciDma has no other parameter than VCI ones, it may be used like others, see SoclibCc/VciParameters
