DMA user code problem

[rob69]

Dear forum

Im tryng to use DMA writing my code, using the driver provided by SDK.

Following the Adam tutorial , the wxample is working...I would like to understand

what is the problem of memory allignment. This mem allignment  test is done in

the driver function  named XDmaPs_BuildDmaProg(), in particular in 4 if() that i pase here.

Questions are before single if() ...............

XDmaPs_BuildDmaProg()

{

....

//----------> This if() test if data Source Address is alligned with Burst Size .   Why is related to SrcInc ?????

if (ChanCtrl->SrcInc)

SrcUnaligned = SrcAddr % ChanCtrl->SrcBurstSize;

//------------------->Same question like before 

if (ChanCtrl->DstInc)

DstUnaligned = DstAddr % ChanCtrl->DstBurstSize;

// What means ?????????

if ((SrcUnaligned && DstInc) || (DstUnaligned && SrcInc)) {

ChanCtrl = &Mem2MemByteCC;    // <---------------------------------point to other channel setting...

}

if (ChanCtrl->SrcInc) {

MemBurstSize = ChanCtrl->SrcBurstSize;

MemAddr = SrcAddr;

} else if (ChanCtrl->DstInc) {

MemBurstSize = ChanCtrl->DstBurstSize;

MemAddr = DstAddr;

}

/* check whether the head is aligned or not */

Unaligned = MemAddr % MemBurstSize;

.....

}

Thanks for your time.

@rob69 alignment is only an issue if burst is requested which is what SrcInc indicates.

Thanks for reply

looking at Channel Control Register of DMA, the src_inc bit tell if during the burst ,we want auto increment or not.

I understand it is not related to have or not a burst,

or not ?

If I dont want burst, just set Burst_len=1  (0 in register)

or not ?

thanks
