Descriptor Field
Description
Source attributes register
Contains source transaction attributes
Source address
Contains the source address of the DMA transfer. After the DMA controller reads the
descriptor from memory, this field is loaded into the Source address register.
Destination attributes
register
Contains destination transaction attributes
Destination address
Contains the destination address of the DMA transfer. After the DMA controller reads the
descriptor from memory, this field is loaded into the destination address register.
Next link descriptor
extended address
Points to the next link descriptor in memory. After the DMA controller reads the link descriptor
from memory, this field is loaded into the extended next link descriptor address registers
Next link descriptor address
Points to the next link descriptor in memory. After the DMA controller reads the link descriptor
from memory, this field is loaded into the next link descriptor address registers.
Byte count
Contains the number of bytes to transfer. After the DMA controller reads the descriptor from
memory, this field is loaded into the byte count register.
