7.4.1.5.1 Notes on the Source Address Register (SAR)

  • Address is word aligned at the start.
  • Address increments on each successful transfer at the source end.
  • HPDMA controller starts reading the data from source memory and transfers to destination memory.
  • Software can write all 32-bit source address to prevent non-word aligned transfers at the start and 2 LSBs, 1:0, are masked in the hardware.
  • The source address is updated when descriptor transfer is in progress.
