XPS Central DMA Controller

The XPS Central DMA Controller provides simple Direct Memory Access (DMA) services to peripherals and memory devices on the PLB.

Overview

The XPS Central DMA Controller provides simple Direct Memory Access (DMA) services to peripherals and memory devices on the PLB. The controller transfers a programmable quantity of data from a source address to a destination address without processor intervention.

Key features

  • Connects as a 32-bit master/slave on PLB V4.6 buses of 32, 64 or 128 bits
  • Provides a single physical channel of Direct Memory Access between a source address and a destination address
  • Provides programmable registers for source address, destination address and transfer length
  • Supports different clock domains for Master and Slave interfaces
  • Supports setting up of source and destination addresses as incrementing or fixed (keyhole)
  • Supports PLB burst transfers

DMA IP Integration

There are many IP’s today . These IP’s can be simple IP’s like Timer to complex IP’s like Accelerators. In Most of the cases IP’s are Integrated in standard way. There are cases where you have the option of Integrating it differently. This goes un-noticed or unable to be implemented due to time constraints. One such IP that would be discussed in this paper is DMA . This paper tries to explain idea of Integrating Direct Memory access(DMA) and Interrupt Control Unit(ICU) differently but final implementation requires some changes in IP. There is a possibility that alternate design explained below may be already implemented.

Moving to AMBA® 5? Your AMBA® 4 IP Can Still Come With You

As SoC architectures adopt AMBA® 5 fabrics and components, many proven IP blocks still rely on AMBA® 4 or earlier interfaces. That creates a common integration problem: how do designers connect newer AMBA® 5 system components to existing IP without redesigning the IP or replacing verified blocks?
