Example-1

This example shows the code snippet for the setup of the DMA module to transfer data from the EEPROM to a buffer in the user RAM space. The transfer is initiated by setting the DGO bit and has no abort triggers. In this example, 512 bytes of data that has been preloaded into the EEPROM at program time is moved into a RAM buffer called “DMA_READ_BUF” for faster access. User firmware needs to set the DGO bit in the DMA1CON0 register to initiate the DMA message. Once completed, the DMA1DCNTIF bit is set and since the interrupt for destination counter reload is enabled, the program will jump to the ISR.

    DMA1SSA = 0x000000;       //set source start address
    DMA1DSA = &DMA_READ_BUF;  //set destination start address

    DMA1SSZ = 0x0200;         //set source size = 512 bytes
    DMA1DSZ = 0x0200;         //set destination size = 512 bytes
    DMA1SIRQ = 0x00;          //set DMA Transfer Trigger Source
    DMA1AIRQ = 0x00;          //set DMA Transfer abort Source
