DMADRV - DMA Driver
Description
Direct Memory Access Driver.
Introduction
The DMADRV driver supports writing code using DMA which will work regardless of the type of the DMA controller on the underlying microcontroller. Additionally, DMA can be used in several modules that are completely unaware of each other. The driver does not preclude use of the native emlib API of the underlying DMA controller. On the contrary, it will often result in more efficient code and is necessary for complex DMA operations. The housekeeping functions of this driver are valuable even in this use-case.
The dmadrv.c and dmadrv.h source files are in the emdrv/dmadrv folder.
- Note
- DMA transfer completion callback functions are called from within the DMA interrupt handler.
Configuration Options
Some properties of the DMADRV driver are compile-time configurable. These properties are stored in a file named dmadrv_config.h. A template for this file, containing default values, is in the emdrv/config folder. Currently the configuration options are as follows:
- The interrupt priority of the DMA peripheral.
- A number of DMA channels to support.
- Use the native emlib API belonging to the underlying DMA hardware in combination with the DMADRV API.
Both configuration options will help reduce the driver's RAM footprint.
To configure DMADRV, provide a custom configuration file. This is an example dmadrv_config.h file:
The API
This section contains brief descriptions of the API functions. For more information about input and output parameters and return values, click on the hyperlinked function names. Most functions return an error code, ECODE_EMDRV_DMADRV_OK is returned on success, see ECODE - Error Codes and Error Codes for other error codes.
The application code must include dmadrv.h header file.
DMADRV_Init()
,
DMADRV_DeInit()
These functions initialize or deinitialize the DMADRV driver. Typically, DMADRV_Init() is called once in the startup code.
DMADRV_AllocateChannel()
,
DMADRV_FreeChannel()
DMA channel reserve and release functions. It is recommended that application code check that DMADRV_AllocateChannel() returns ECODE_EMDRV_DMADRV_OK before starting a DMA transfer.
DMADRV_MemoryPeripheral()
Start a DMA transfer from memory to a peripheral.
DMADRV_PeripheralMemory()
Start a DMA transfer from a peripheral to memory.
DMADRV_MemoryPeripheralPingPong()
Start a DMA ping-pong transfer from memory to a peripheral.
DMADRV_PeripheralMemoryPingPong()
Start a DMA ping-pong transfer from a peripheral to memory.
DMADRV_LdmaStartTransfer()
Start a DMA transfer on an LDMA controller.
DMADRV_StopTransfer()
Stop an ongoing DMA transfer.
DMADRV_TransferActive()
