Description of drawings
Below by for example and the accompanying drawing that is not construed as limiting the present invention is described, in figure, the represented meaning of identical label is identical.
Fig. 1 possesses the processor system structural drawing of dma controller
Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
Fig. 1 has described the processor system structural drawing that comprises dma controller described in the invention.As shown in Figure 1, processor core 101 by system bus 107 with are connected equipment and connect, thereby realize the function of other equipment of access.Storer 102 equally by system bus 107 with are connected equipment and connect, it is as being carried out memory access by main equipments such as processor core 101 and dma controllers 103 from equipment on bus.Dma controller 103 can utilize bus 107 that data are moved another from equipment from one from equipment as main equipment.Can have a plurality of peripheral hardwares (104,105) in processor system, these peripheral hardwares hang on bus 107 equally, accept the read and write access operation of main equipment (101,103).Can be carried out read and write access by the peripheral hardware (104,105) that dma controller is accessed.And peripheral hardware can utilize connection 106 to send the dma operation request signal to dma controller, thereby requires DMA to realize the DMA data-moving.Bus priority scheduler module 108 on bus 107 can be accepted the priority scheduling request of dma controller 103, dma controller is set has certain bus access priority.
More than described and comprise dma controller in the processor system and how to connect at interior modules, further, below described the overall process how DMA realizes data-moving so that a blocks of data is moved peripheral hardware 104 from storer 102 as example.
At first, processor core 101 is according to the demand of data-moving, and configure dma controllers by bus 107: disposition data source is some addresses of storer 102; Configure the required data capacity of moving; The destination address that configuration data is moved is some addresses of peripheral hardware 104; In addition, data block size of configurable data-moving each time etc. also as required.
Suppose that degree of depth of the interior existence of peripheral hardware 104 is 16 FIFO due to the data of accepting dma controller and sending.Can be that configuration peripheral hardware 104 can possess two other transfer request signals of level to the dma controller transmission so.That is when in the FIFO of peripheral hardware 104, the valid data degree of depth only has 4, sending the high level transmission signal of pleading, the request dma controller sends data as early as possible; When in the FIFO of peripheral hardware 104, the valid data degree of depth is 12, can ask dma controller to send data with low-level operation.Further, can configure above-mentioned dma controller each time the data block size of data-moving be 4, prevent that in the FIFO valid data degree of depth be the generation of 12 o'clock data from overflows.
Further, when dma controller when receiving high level transfer request signal, can make dma controller obtain as early as possible the control of bus by request bus scheduling module 108, reading out data from storer 102, then send data to peripheral hardware 104 as soon as possible.When dma controller when receiving low-level transfer request signal, can ask the bus scheduling module to obtain bus controller with lower priority, if this moment, processor core 101 also needed to access bus, due to peripheral hardware 104 not in the urgent need to obtaining data, can make processor 101 priority access buses, after by the time processor 101 discharges buses, the reentry control of bus of dma controller, then reading out data from storer 102 sends data to peripheral hardware 104.
Completed the capacity of the data-moving that processor core 101 sets when all dma controllers after, utilize the mode notification processor 101 that interrupts to complete this time data-moving.
