 corresponding to 8 independant DMA channels. As there is only one VCI initiator port, the general arbitration policy between the active channels is round-robin.

+The number of channels (CHANNELS) and the burst length (MAX_BURST_LENGTH) are constructor parameters. The burst length parameter must be multiple of 4 bytes.
 
 This component makes the assumption that the VCI RDATA & WDATA fiels have 32 bits.

-The aligned segment size associated to this VCI target is 256 bytes, as only 8 address bits are decoded : the 5 LSB bits define the target register, and the 3 MSB bits define the channel index.
+In order to support various protection mechanisms, each channel akes 4K bytes in the address space. The segment size is 32 K bytes, and the segment associated to this peripheral must be aligned on a 32K bytes boundary. Only 8 address bits are decoded :

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