Embodiment Construction

[0024] Although the DMA controller in the prior art can also implement the function of transporting data in a certain format, it has not been described for complex format data, such as three-dimensional transport methods; the existing DMA controllers mostly use bandwidth allocation methods among multiple channels. For fixed priority, there is no dynamic change of multi-channel and multiple arbitration strategies, and it is commonly used in single-core systems, and there is no DMA controller that supports multi-core SOC systems; hardware requests are commonly used to trigger hardware transfers, and no hardware requests are seen Trigger the soft transfer function.

[0025] The embodiment of the present invention provides an efficient three-dimensional data transfer DMA controller device supporting multi-channel dynamic arbitration of single-core or multi-core SOC, which is especially suitable for large-scale data transfer and complex data format transfer in SOC system on chip in big...

Abstract

The invention provides a multichannel direct memory access (DMA) controller which comprises a configuration module, an arbitration module, a read instruction generating module, a write instruction generating module, a bus high-speed carrying interface module and an externally-arranged request interface module. The multichannel DMA controller can carry complex-format data and increase data transmission rate so as to reduce burden of a CPU (central processing unit) and improve system performance.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of direct memory access (DMA, Direct Memory Access), in particular to a multi-channel DMA controller. Background technique [0002] DMA controller is a necessary device in today's mainstream System on Chip (SOC, System on Chip) systems and embedded systems. Its function is to replace the CPU to complete a large number of complex data handling processes without the intervention of the CPU to improve system efficiency . [0003] With the development of the SOC system, the DMA controller in the prior art is often directly hung on the system bus, and its direct access to storage devices and I / O devices are completed through the bus. Generally, it has multi-channel work and can carry data in a certain format. Function. As the demand for data transfer continues to increase, it is difficult for the prior art DMA controller to efficiently transfer a large amount of data between memories. Therefore, there is an ur...
