STM32F4 -- How to use the DMA burst feature
Bits 15:13 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 12:8 DBL[4:0]: DMA burst length
This 5-bit vector defines the number of DMA transfers
(the timer detects a burst transfer when a read or a write access to the TIMx_DMAR register address is performed).
- 00000: 1 transfer
- 00001: 2 transfers
- 00010: 3 transfers
- ...
- 10001: 18 transfers
Bits 7:5 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 4:0 DBA[4:0]: DMA base address
This 5-bits vector defines the base-address for DMA transfers (when read/write access are done through the TIMx_DMAR address).
DBA is defined as an offset starting from the address of the TIMx_CR1 register.
Example:
- 00000: TIMx_CR1,
- 00001: TIMx_CR2,
- 00010: TIMx_SMCR,
...
Example: Let us consider the following transfer: DBL = 7 transfers and DBA = TIMx_CR1.
In this case the transfer is done to/from 7 registers starting from the TIMx_CR1 address.
Bits 15:0 DMAB[15:0]: DMA register for burst accesses
A read or write operation to the DMAR register accesses the register located at the address
(TIMx_CR1 address) + (DBA + DMA index) x 4
DBA is defined as an offset starting from the address of the TIMx_CR1 register.
where TIMx_CR1 address is the address of the control register 1,
DBA is the DMA base address configured in TIMx_DCR register,
DMA index is automatically controlled by the DMA transfer,
and ranges from 0 to DBL (DBL configured in TIMx_DCR).
DBL This 5-bit vector defines the number of DMA transfers
Example of how to use the DMA burst feature
In this example the timer DMA burst feature is used to update the contents of the CCRx registers (x = 2, 3, 4)
with the DMA transferring half words into the CCRx registers.
This is done in the following steps:
1. Configure the corresponding DMA channel as follows:
– DMA channel peripheral address is the DMAR register address
– DMA channel memory address is the address of the buffer in the RAM
containing the data to be transferred by DMA into CCRx registers.
– Number of data to transfer = 3 (See note below).: CCR2, CCR3, CCR4
– Circular mode disabled.
2. Configure the DCR register by configuring the DBA and DBL bit fields as follows:
DBL = 3 transfers, DBA = 0xE. :: 4 * 0x0E = 0x38
3. Enable the TIMx update DMA request (set the UDE bit in the DIER register).
4. Enable TIMx
5. Enable the DMA channel
Note:
This example is for the case where every CCRx register to be updated once.
Let's take the example of a buffer in the RAM containing data1, data2, data3.
The data is transferred to the CCRx registers as follows:
on the update DMA request, data1 is transferred to CCR2, data2 is transferred to CCR3, data3 is transferred to CCR4 and
If every CCRx register is to be updated twice for example, the number of data to transfer should be 6 -- DMA
NumberOfTransfer = UpdateTimes * DMA burst length<DBL>.
Let's take the example of a buffer in the RAM containing data1, data2, data3, data4, data5 and data6.
The data is transferred to the CCRx registers as follows:
on the first update DMA request, data1 is transferred to CCR2, data2 is transferred to CCR3, data3 is transferred to CCR4 and
on the second update DMA request, data4 is transferred to CCR2, data5 is transferred to CCR3 and data6 is transferred to CCR4.
