The DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS) and Data Structure Address (DSA) registers are additional holding registers used during the Memory Move. However, the contents of the Data Structure Address (DSA) register are preserved.

6.7.1 First Dword

 

 

IT[1:0]

Instruction Type - Memory Move Instruction

[31:30]

R

Reserved

[29:25]

 

These bits are reserved and must be zero. If any of these

 

bits is set, an illegal instruction interrupt occurs.

 

NF

No Flush

24

 

When this bit is set, the LSI53C810A performs a Memory

 

Move (MMOV) without flushing the prefetch unit

 

 

(NFMMOV). When this bit is cleared, the Memory Move

 

instruction automatically flushes the prefetch unit. Use

 

the NFMMOV if the source and destination are not within

 

four instructions of the current MMOV instruction.

 

Note:

This bit has no effect unless the Prefetch Enable bit in the

 

DMA Control (DCNTL) register is set. For information on

 

SCRIPTS instruction prefetching, see Chapter 2, “Func-

 

tional Description.”

 

TC[23:0]

Transfer Count

[23:0]

 

The number of bytes to transfer is stored in the lower 24

 

bits of the first instruction word.

 

6.7.2 Second Dword

 

DSPS Register

[31:0]

These bits contain the source address of the Memory

Move.

 

6.7.3 Third Dword

TEMP Register

[31:0]

These bits contain the destination address for the

Memory Move.
