- Synopsys Designware DMA Controller
Required properties:
- compatible: “snps,dma-spear1340”
- reg: Address range of the DMAC registers
- interrupt: Should contain the DMAC interrupt number
- dma-channels: Number of channels supported by hardware
- dma-requests: Number of DMA request lines supported, up to 16
- dma-masters: Number of AHB masters supported by the controller
- #dma-cells: must be <3>
- chan_allocation_order: order of allocation of channel, 0 (default): ascending,
1: descending - chan_priority: priority of channels. 0 (default): increase from chan 0->n, 1:
increase from chan n->0 - block_size: Maximum block size supported by the controller
- data_width: Maximum data width supported by hardware per AHB master
(0 - 8bits, 1 - 16bits, …, 5 - 256bits)
Optional properties:
- interrupt-parent: Should be the phandle for the interrupt controller
that services interrupts for this device - is_private: The device channels should be marked as private and not for by the
general purpose DMA channel allocator. False if not passed.
Example:
dmahost: dma@fc000000 {
compatible = "snps,dma-spear1340";
reg = <0xfc000000 0x1000>;
interrupt-parent = <&vic1>;
interrupts = <12>;
dma-channels = <8>;
dma-requests = <16>;
dma-masters = <2>;
#dma-cells = <3>;
chan_allocation_order = <1>;
chan_priority = <1>;
block_size = <0xfff>;
data_width = <3 3>;
};
DMA clients connected to the Designware DMA controller must use the format
described in the dma.txt file, using a four-cell specifier for each channel.
The four cells in order are:
- A phandle pointing to the DMA controller
- The DMA request line number
- Source master for transfers on allocated channel
- Destination master for transfers on allocated channel
Example:
serial@e0000000 {
compatible = "arm,pl011", "arm,primecell";
reg = <0xe0000000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <0 35 0x4>;
status = "disabled";
dmas = <&dmahost 12 0 1>,
<&dmahost 13 0 1 0>;
dma-names = "rx", "rx";
};
