Bit 24 – RUNSTDBY Run in Standby

This bit is used to keep the DMA channel running in Standby mode:

ValueDescription
0The channel is halted in standby.
1The channel continues to run in standby. Continue module operation in Idle/Sleep mode.

Bit 16 – SWFRC Software Force Trigger

Write to 1 to issue a start trigger to the channel. Reading this bit always returns 0.

Bit 8 – LLEN Linked List Enable

ValueDescription
0Next descriptor loading is disabled for the channel.
1DMA will load the next descriptor at address location to by CHNXTk.NXT[31:0] on completion of the current block transfer or if the channel is idle (i.e. CHCTRLAk.ENABLE = 0 and CHSTATk.BLK-BUSY = 0). If CHNXTk.NXT[31:0] = 0xFFFF_FFFF (NULL) the DMA will set the CHINTFk.LL status bit and clear LLEN. No further action takes place.

Bit 0 – ENABLE Channel Enable

Writing a 1 to ENABLE enables a block transfer. Upon completion or abort of the block transfer the DMA clears ENABLE.

ValueDescription
0Disable channel block transfers or suspend block transfer if CHSTATk.BLKBUSY = 1.
1Block transfer enabled. The DMA will initiate a block transfer on the start trigger selected by CHCTRLBk.TRIG or a software trigger, CHCTRLAk.SWFRC = 1.
