LPC/FWH Interface Configuration

11.2.1.6Ds–Dma Status Register (I/O)

I/O Address:

Channels 0-3–08h; Channels 4-7–0D0h

Default Value:

00h

Attribute:

Read Only

Each DMA controller has a read-only DMA Status Register that indicates which channels have reached terminal count and which channels have a pending DMA request.

Bit

Description

 

 

7:4

Channel Request Status. When a valid DMA request is pending for a channel (on its DREQ

 

signal line), the corresponding bit is set to 1. When a DMA request is not pending for a

 

particular channel, the corresponding bit is set to 0. The source of the DREQ may be hardware

 

or a software request. Note that channel 4 does not have DREQ or DACK lines, so the

 

response for a read of DMA2 status for channel 4 is irrelevant.

11.2.1.7DBADDR–DMA Base and Current Address Registers (I/O)

I/O Address:

DMA Channel 0–000h

DMA Channel 4–0C0h

 

DMA Channel 1–002h

DMA Channel 5–0C4h

 

DMA Channel 2–004h

DMA Channel 6–0C8h

 

DMA Channel 3–006h

DMA Channel 7–0CCh

Default Value:

Undefined (CPURST or Master Clear)

Attribute:

Read/Write

 

This Register works in conjunction with the Low Page Register. After an auto-initialization, this register retains the original programmed value. Auto-initialize takes place after a TC. The address register is automatically incremented or decrement after each transfer. This register is read/written in successive 8-bit bytes. The programmer must issue the Clear Byte Pointer Flip-Flop command to reset the internal byte pointer and correctly align the write prior to programming the Current Address Register. Auto-initialize takes place only after a TC.

Bit

Description

 

 

15:0

Base and Current Address [15:0]. These bits represent address bits [15:0] used when

 

forming the 24-bit address for DMA transfers.
