5.3 DMAC Registers
The section describes the DMAC registers.

5.3.1 DMA Interrupt Register (DINT)

The DINT, shown in Tabl e 5-6, logs the interrupts for each channel.
An interrupt is generated if any of these events occur:
Any kind of transaction error on the internal bus that is associated with the relevant channel.
The current transfer finishes successfully and the DCMD[ENDIRQEN] bit is set.
The current descriptor loads successfully and the DCMD[STAR T IRQEN] bit is set.
The DCSR:STOPIRQEN is set to a 1 and the relevant channel is i n the u niniti aliz ed or stopped
state.
Software must set the corresponding DCSR register error bit to reset the interrupt.
This is a read/wri te register. Ignore reads from reserved bit s. Write zeros to res erved bits.

5.3.2 DMA Channel Control/Status Register (DCSRx)

The DCSRx, shown in Table 5-7 contains the control and status bit for each channel. Read this
register to find the source of an interrupt. Write the read value back to the re gister to clear the
interrupt.
This is a read/wri te register. Ignore reads from reserved bit s. Write zeros to res erved bits.
