DMA Channels: Can be triggered by: " External events (for example, ASP TX Evt and RX Evt), " Software writing a '1'to the given bit location, or channel, of the Event Set register, or, " Chaining to other DMAs.

QDMA: The Quick DMA (QDMA) function is contained within the CC. DM355 implements 8 QDMA channels. Each QDMA channel has a selectable PaRAM entry used to specify the transfer. A QDMA transfer is submitted immediately upon writing of the "trigger" parameter (as opposed to the occurrence of an event as with EDMA). The QDMA parameter RAM may be written by any Config bus master through the Config Bus and by DMAs through the Config Bus bridge.

QDMA Channels: Triggered by a configuration bus write to a designated 'QDMAtrigger word'.QDMAs allow a minimum number of linear writes (optimized for GEM IDMA feature) to be issued to the CC to force a series of transfers to take place.

3.14.2.1EDMA Channel Synchronization Events

The EDMA supports up to 64 EDMA channels which service peripheral devices and external memory. Table 3-19lists the source of EDMA synchronization events associated with each of the programmable EDMA channels. For the device, the association of an event to a channel is fixed; each of the EDMA channels has one specific event associated with it. These specific events are captured in the EDMA event registers (ER, ERH) even if the events are disabled by the EDMA event enable registers (EER, EERH). For more detailed information on the EDMA module and how EDMA events are enabled, captured, processed, linked, chained, and cleared, etc., see the Document Support section for the Enhanced Direct Memory Access (EDMA) Controller Reference Guide.

(1)In addition to the events shown in this table, each of the 64 channels can also be synchronized with the transfer completion or intermediate transfer completion events. For more detailed information on EDMA event-transfer chaining, see the Document Support section for the Enhanced Direct Memory Access (EDMA) Controller Reference Guide.

(2)The total number of EDMA events in DM355 exceeds 64, which is the maximum value of the EDMA module. Therefore, several events are multiplexed and you must use the register EDMA_EVTMUX in the System Control Module to select the event source for multiplexed events. Refer to the ARM Subsystem Guide for more information on the System Control Module register EDMA_EVTMUX.
