VciDma

1) Functional Description

This VCI component moves data from a source memory buffer to a destination memory buffer. It is both a target and an initiator.

• It is addressed as a target to be configured for a transfer.
• It is acting as an initiator to 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.

This component has 4 memory-mapped registers :

• DMA_SRC

The physical address of the source buffer.

• DMA_DST

The physical address of the destination buffer.

• 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
  • Writing a non zero value enables the IRQ line.
  • Writing a zero value resets the IRQ.
  • Reading a zero value indicates the completion of the transfer

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)
