processing is executed: for example, interrupts, major loop channel linking, and scatter/gather operations,
if enabled.
shows how each DMA request initiates one minor loop transfer (iteration) without CPU
intervention. DMA arbitration can occur after each minor loop, and one level of minor loop DMA
preemption is allowed. The number of minor loops in a major loop is specified by the beginning iteration
count (biter).

TCD Field
Name
Description
START
Control bit to explicitly start channel when using a software
initiated DMA service (Automatically cleared by hardware)
ACTIVE
Status bit indicating the channel is currently in execution
DONE
Status bit indicating major loop completion (Cleared by software
when using a software initiated DMA service)
D_REQ
Control bit to disable DMA request at end of major loop
completion when using a hardware-initiated DMA service
BWC
Control bits for “throttling” bandwidth control of a channel
E_SG
Control bit to enable scatter-gather feature
INT_HALF
Control bit to enable interrupt when major loop is half complete
INT_MAJ
Control bit to enable interrupt when major loop completes
