Embodiment Construction

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

[0025] An embodiment of the present invention provides an efficient three-dimensional data transfer DMA controller device that supports multi-channel dynamic arbitration of a single-core or multi-core SOC, and is especially suitable for a SOC system on chip for large-scale data transfer and complex data format transfer in a big data business system Among them, such chips are commonly used in base station ...

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 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] The 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 is completed through the bus. It generally has multi-channel work and can carry data in a certain format. function. With the increasing demand for data transfer, it is difficult for the DMA controller in the prior art to efficiently transfer a large amount of data between memories. Therefore, a DMA controll...
