13. Direct memory access controller (DMA)

13.1 Introduction

The direct memory access (DMA) controller is a bus master and system peripheral.

The DMA is used to perform programmable data transfers between memory-mapped peripherals and/or memories, upon the control of an off-loaded CPU.

The DMA controller features a single AHB master architecture.

There is one instance of DMA with up to 7 channels, except for the STM32F303xB/C/D/E, STM32F358xC and STM32F398xCE devices that also include a DMA2 with 5 channels.

Each channel is dedicated to managing memory access requests from one or more peripherals. Each DMA includes an arbiter for handling the priority between DMA requests.

13.2 DMA main features

• • Single AHB master
• • Peripheral-to-memory, memory-to-peripheral, memory-to-memory and peripheral-to-peripheral data transfers
• • Access, as source and destination, to on-chip memory-mapped devices such as flash memory, SRAM, and AHB and APB peripherals
• • All DMA channels independently configurable:
  • – Each channel is associated either with a DMA request signal coming from a peripheral, or with a software trigger in memory-to-memory transfers. This configuration is done by software.
  • – Priority between the requests is programmable by software (four levels per channel: very high, high, medium, low) and by hardware in case of equality (such as request to channel 1 has priority over request to channel 2).
  • – Transfer size of source and destination are independent (byte, half-word, word), emulating packing and unpacking. Source and destination addresses must be aligned on the data size.
  • – Support of transfers from/to peripherals to/from memory with circular buffer management
  • – Programmable number of data to be transferred: 0 to \( 2^{16} - 1 \)
• • Generation of an interrupt request per channel. Each interrupt request is caused from any of the three DMA events: transfer complete, half transfer, or transfer error.

13.3 DMA implementation

13.3.1 DMA1 and DMA2

DMA1 and DMA2 are implemented with the hardware configuration parameters shown in the table below.

Table 75. DMA1 and DMA2 implementation

13.3.2 DMA request mapping

DMA1 controller

The hardware requests from the peripherals (TIMx(x=1...4, 6, 7, 15..17), ADC1, ADC2, SPI1, SPI2/I2S, I2Cx(x=1,2), DAC1_Channel[1,2], DAC2_Channel[1] and USARTx (x=1..3)) are simply logically ORed before entering the DMA. This means that on one channel, only one request must be enabled at a time (see Figure 46 and Figure 47 ).

The peripheral DMA requests can be independently activated/de-activated by programming the DMA control bit in the registers of the corresponding peripheral.

Caution: A same peripheral request can be assigned to two different channels only if the application ensures that these channels are not requested to be served at the same time. In other words, if two different channels receive a same asserted peripheral request at the same time, an unpredictable DMA hardware behavior occurs.

Table 76 and Table 77 list the DMA requests for each channel.

DMA2 controller

The hardware requests from the peripherals (TIMx (x = 6,7,8), ADCx (x = 2,3,4), SPI/I2S3, UART4, DAC_Channel[1,2]) are simply logically ORed before entering the DMA. This means that on one channel, only one request must be enabled at a time (see Figure 48 ).

The peripheral DMA requests can be independently activated/de-activated by programming the DMA control bit in the registers of the corresponding peripheral.

Caution: A same peripheral request can be assigned to two different channels only if the application ensures that these channels are not requested to be served at the same time. In other words, if two different channels receive a same asserted peripheral request at the same time, an unpredictable DMA hardware behavior occurs.

13.4 DMA functional description

13.4.1 DMA block diagram

The DMA block diagram is shown in the figure below.

Figure 49. DMA block diagram

The DMA controller performs direct memory transfer by sharing the AHB system bus with other system masters. The bus matrix implements round-robin scheduling. DMA requests may stop the CPU access to the system bus for a number of bus cycles, when CPU and DMA target the same destination (memory or peripheral).

According to its configuration through the AHB slave interface, the DMA controller arbitrates between the DMA channels and their associated received requests. The DMA controller also schedules the DMA data transfers over the single AHB port master.

The DMA controller generates an interrupt per channel to the interrupt controller.

13.4.2 DMA transfers

The software configures the DMA controller at channel level, in order to perform a block transfer, composed of a sequence of AHB bus transfers.

A DMA block transfer may be requested from a peripheral, or triggered by the software in case of memory-to-memory transfer.

After an event, the following steps of a single DMA transfer occur:

1. 1. The peripheral sends a single DMA request signal to the DMA controller.
2. 2. The DMA controller serves the request, depending on the priority of the channel associated to this peripheral request.
3. 3. As soon as the DMA controller grants the peripheral, an acknowledge is sent to the peripheral by the DMA controller.
4. 4. The peripheral releases its request as soon as it gets the acknowledge from the DMA controller.
5. 5. Once the request is de-asserted by the peripheral, the DMA controller releases the acknowledge.

The peripheral may order a further single request and initiate another single DMA transfer.

The request/acknowledge protocol is used when a peripheral is either the source or the destination of the transfer. For example, in case of memory-to-peripheral transfer, the peripheral initiates the transfer by driving its single request signal to the DMA controller. The DMA controller reads then a single data in the memory and writes this data to the peripheral.

For a given channel x, a DMA block transfer consists of a repeated sequence of:

• • a single DMA transfer, encapsulating two AHB transfers of a single data, over the DMA AHB bus master:
  • – a single data read (byte, half-word, or word) from the peripheral data register or a location in the memory, addressed through an internal current peripheral/memory address register.
    The start address used for the first single transfer is the base address of the peripheral or memory, and is programmed in the DMA_CPARx or DMA_CMARx register.
  • – a single data write (byte, half-word, or word) to the peripheral data register or a location in the memory, addressed through an internal current peripheral/memory address register.
    The start address used for the first transfer is the base address of the peripheral or memory, and is programmed in the DMA_CPARx or DMA_CMARx register.
• • post-decrementing of the programmed DMA_CNDTRx register
  This register contains the remaining number of data items to transfer (number of AHB 'read followed by write' transfers).

This sequence is repeated until DMA_CNDTRx is null.

Note: The AHB master bus source/destination address must be aligned with the programmed size of the transferred single data to the source/destination.

13.4.3 DMA arbitration

The DMA arbiter manages the priority between the different channels.

When an active channel x is granted by the arbiter (hardware requested or software triggered), a single DMA transfer is issued (such as a AHB 'read followed by write' transfer of a single data). Then, the arbiter considers again the set of active channels and selects the one with the highest priority.

The priorities are managed in two stages:

• • software: priority of each channel is configured in the DMA_CCRx register, to one of the four different levels:
  • – very high
  • – high
  • – medium
  • – low
• • hardware: if two requests have the same software priority level, the channel with the lowest index gets priority. For example, channel 2 gets priority over channel 4.

When a channel x is programmed for a block transfer in memory-to-memory mode, re arbitration is considered between each single DMA transfer of this channel x. Whenever there is another concurrent active requested channel, the DMA arbiter automatically alternates and grants the other highest-priority requested channel, which may be of lower priority than the memory-to-memory channel.

13.4.4 DMA channels

Each channel may handle a DMA transfer between a peripheral register located at a fixed address, and a memory address. The amount of data items to transfer is programmable. The register that contains the amount of data items to transfer is decremented after each transfer.

A DMA channel is programmed at block transfer level.

Programmable data sizes

The transfer sizes of a single data (byte, half-word, or word) to the peripheral and memory are programmable through, respectively, the PSIZE[1:0] and MSIZE[1:0] fields of the DMA_CCRx register.

Pointer incrementation

The peripheral and memory pointers may be automatically incremented after each transfer, depending on the PINC and MINC bits of the DMA_CCRx register.

If the incremented mode is enabled (PINC or MINC set to 1), the address of the next transfer is the address of the previous one incremented by 1, 2 or 4, depending on the data size defined in PSIZE[1:0] or MSIZE[1:0]. The first transfer address is the one programmed in the DMA_CPARx or DMA_CMARx register. During transfers, these registers keep the initially programmed value. The current transfer addresses (in the current internal peripheral/memory address register) are not accessible by software.

If the channel x is configured in non-circular mode , no DMA request is served after the last data transfer (once the number of single data to transfer reaches zero). The DMA channel must be disabled in order to reload a new number of data items into the DMA_CNDTRx register.

Note: If the channel x is disabled, the DMA registers are not reset. The DMA channel registers (DMA_CCRx, DMA_CPARx and DMA_CMARx) retain the initial values programmed during the channel configuration phase.

In circular mode , after the last data transfer, the DMA_CNDTRx register is automatically reloaded with the initially programmed value. The current internal address registers are reloaded with the base address values from the DMA_CPARx and DMA_CMARx registers.

Channel configuration procedure

The following sequence is needed to configure a DMA channel x:

1. 1. Set the peripheral register address in the DMA_CPARx register.
   The data is moved from/to this address to/from the memory after the peripheral event, or after the channel is enabled in memory-to-memory mode.
2. 2. Set the memory address in the DMA_CMARx register.
   The data is written to/read from the memory after the peripheral event or after the channel is enabled in memory-to-memory mode.
3. 3. Configure the total number of data to transfer in the DMA_CNDTRx register.
   After each data transfer, this value is decremented.
4. 4. Configure the parameters listed below in the DMA_CCRx register:
   • – the channel priority
   • – the data transfer direction
   • – the circular mode
   • – the peripheral and memory incremented mode
   • – the peripheral and memory data size
   • – the interrupt enable at half and/or full transfer and/or transfer error
5. 5. Activate the channel by setting the EN bit in the DMA_CCRx register.

A channel, as soon as enabled, may serve any DMA request from the peripheral connected to this channel, or may start a memory-to-memory block transfer.

Note: The two last steps of the channel configuration procedure may be merged into a single access to the DMA_CCRx register, to configure and enable the channel.

Channel state and disabling a channel

A channel x in the active state is an enabled channel (read DMA_CCRx.EN = 1). An active channel x is a channel that must have been enabled by the software (DMA_CCRx.EN set to 1) and afterwards with no occurred transfer error (DMA_ISR.TEIFx = 0). In case there is a transfer error, the channel is automatically disabled by hardware (DMA_CCRx.EN = 0).

The three following use cases may happen:

• • Suspend and resume a channel

This corresponds to the two following actions:

• – An active channel is disabled by software (writing DMA_CCRx.EN = 0 whereas DMA_CCRx.EN = 1).
• – The software enables the channel again (DMA_CCRx.EN set to 1) without reconfiguring the other channel registers (such as DMA_CNDTRx, DMA_CPARx and DMA_CMARx).

This case is not supported by the DMA hardware, that does not guarantee that the remaining data transfers are performed correctly.

• • Stop and abort a channel

If the application does not need any more the channel, this active channel can be disabled by software. The channel is stopped and aborted but the DMA_CNDTRx register content may not correctly reflect the remaining data transfers versus the aborted source and destination buffer/register.

• • Abort and restart a channel

This corresponds to the software sequence: disable an active channel, then reconfigure the channel and enable it again.

This is supported by the hardware if the following conditions are met:

• – The application guarantees that, when the software is disabling the channel, a DMA data transfer is not occurring at the same time over its master port. For example, the application can first disable the peripheral in DMA mode, in order to ensure that there is no pending hardware DMA request from this peripheral.
• – The software must operate separated write accesses to the same DMA_CCRx register: First disable the channel. Second reconfigure the channel for a next block transfer including the DMA_CCRx if a configuration change is needed. There are read-only DMA_CCRx register fields when DMA_CCRx.EN=1. Finally enable again the channel.

When a channel transfer error occurs, the EN bit of the DMA_CCRx register is cleared by hardware. This EN bit cannot be set again by software to reactivate the channel x, until the TEIFx bit of the DMA_ISR register is set.

Circular mode (in memory-to-peripheral/peripheral-to-memory transfers)

The circular mode is available to handle circular buffers and continuous data flows (such as ADC scan mode). This feature is enabled using the CIRC bit in the DMA_CCRx register.

Note:

The circular mode must not be used in memory-to-memory mode. Before enabling a channel in circular mode (CIRC = 1), the software must clear the MEM2MEM bit of the DMA_CCRx register. When the circular mode is activated, the amount of data to transfer is automatically reloaded with the initial value programmed during the channel configuration phase, and the DMA requests continue to be served.

In order to stop a circular transfer, the software needs to stop the peripheral from generating DMA requests (such as quit the ADC scan mode), before disabling the DMA channel. The software must explicitly program the DMA_CNDTRx value before starting/enabling a transfer, and after having stopped a circular transfer.

Memory-to-memory mode

The DMA channels may operate without being triggered by a request from a peripheral. This mode is called memory-to-memory mode, and is initiated by software.

If the MEM2MEM bit in the DMA_CCRx register is set, the channel, if enabled, initiates transfers. The transfer stops once the DMA_CNDTRx register reaches zero.

Note: The memory-to-memory mode must not be used in circular mode. Before enabling a channel in memory-to-memory mode (MEM2MEM = 1), the software must clear the CIRC bit of the DMA_CCRx register.

Peripheral-to-peripheral mode

Any DMA channel can operate in peripheral-to-peripheral mode:

• • when the hardware request from a peripheral is selected to trigger the DMA channel
  This peripheral is the DMA initiator and paces the data transfer from/to this peripheral to/from a register belonging to another memory-mapped peripheral (this one being not configured in DMA mode).
• • when no peripheral request is selected and connected to the DMA channel
  The software configures a register-to-register transfer by setting the MEM2MEM bit of the DMA_CCRx register.

Programming transfer direction, assigning source/destination

The value of the DIR bit of the DMA_CCRx register sets the direction of the transfer, and consequently, it identifies the source and the destination, regardless the source/destination type (peripheral or memory):

• • DIR = 1 defines typically a memory-to-peripheral transfer. More generally, if DIR = 1:
  • – The source attributes are defined by the DMA_MARx register, the MSIZE[1:0] field, and MINC bit of the DMA_CCRx register.
    Regardless of their usual naming, these 'memory' register, field, and bit are used to define the source peripheral in peripheral-to-peripheral mode.
  • – The destination attributes are defined by the DMA_PARx register, the PSIZE[1:0] field and the PINC bit of the DMA_CCRx register.
    Regardless of their usual naming, these 'peripheral' register, field, and bit are used to define the destination memory in memory-to-memory mode.
• • DIR = 0 defines typically a peripheral-to-memory transfer. More generally, if DIR = 0:
  • – The source attributes are defined by the DMA_PARx register, the PSIZE[1:0] field and the PINC bit of the DMA_CCRx register.
    Regardless of their usual naming, these 'peripheral' register, field, and bit are used to define the source memory in memory-to-memory mode.
  • – The destination attributes are defined by the DMA_MARx register, the MSIZE[1:0] field and the MINC bit of the DMA_CCRx register.
    Regardless of their usual naming, these 'memory' register, field and bit are used to define the destination peripheral in peripheral-to-peripheral mode.

13.4.5 DMA data width, alignment, and endianness

When PSIZE[1:0] and MSIZE[1:0] are not equal, the DMA controller performs some data alignments as described in the table below.

Table 79. Programmable data width and endian behavior (when PINC = MINC = 1)

Addressing AHB peripherals not supporting byte/half-word write transfers

When the DMA controller initiates an AHB byte or half-word write transfer, the data are duplicated on the unused lanes of the AHB master 32-bit data bus (HWDATA[31:0]).

When the AHB slave peripheral does not support byte or half-word write transfers and does not generate any error, the DMA controller writes the 32 HWDATA bits as shown in the two examples below:

• • To write the half-word 0xABCD, the DMA controller sets the HWDATA bus to 0xABCDABCD with a half-word data size (HSIZE = HalfWord in the AHB master bus).
• • To write the byte 0xAB, the DMA controller sets the HWDATA bus to 0xABABABAB with a byte data size (HSIZE = Byte in the AHB master bus).

Assuming the AHB/APB bridge is an AHB 32-bit slave peripheral that does not take into account the HSIZE data, any AHB byte or half-word transfer is changed into a 32-bit APB transfer as described below:

• • An AHB byte write transfer of 0xB0 to one of the 0x0, 0x1, 0x2, or 0x3 addresses, is converted to an APB word write transfer of 0xB0B0B0B0 to the 0x0 address.
• • An AHB half-word write transfer of 0xB1B0 to the 0x0 or 0x2 addresses is converted to an APB word write transfer of 0xB1B0B1B0 to the 0x0 address.

13.4.6 DMA error management

A DMA transfer error is generated when reading from or writing to a reserved address space. When a DMA transfer error occurs during a DMA read or write access, the faulty channel x is automatically disabled through a hardware clear of its EN bit in the corresponding DMA_CCRx register.

The TEIFx bit of the DMA_ISR register is set. An interrupt is then generated if the TEIE bit of the DMA_CCRx register is set.

The EN bit of the DMA_CCRx register cannot be set again by software (channel x reactivated) until the TEIFx bit of the DMA_ISR register is cleared (by setting the CTEIFx bit of the DMA_IFCR register).

When the software is notified with a transfer error over a channel, which involves a peripheral, the software has first to stop this peripheral in DMA mode, in order to disable any pending or future DMA request. Then software may normally reconfigure both DMA and the peripheral in DMA mode for a new transfer.

13.5 DMA interrupts

An interrupt can be generated on a half transfer, transfer complete or transfer error for each DMA channel x. Separate interrupt enable bits are available for flexibility.

The content of this register is linked to the DMA channels availability. See Section 13.3: DMA implementation for more details.

Setting the global clear bit CGIFx of the channel x in this DMA_IFCR register, causes the DMA hardware to clear the corresponding GIFx bit and any individual flag among TEIFx, HTIFx, TCIFx, in the DMA_ISR register.

Setting any individual clear bit among CTEIFx, CHTIFx, CTCIFx in this DMA_IFCR register, causes the DMA hardware to clear the corresponding individual flag and the global flag GIFx in the DMA_ISR register, provided that none of the two other individual flags is set.

13.6.4 DMA channel x number of data to transfer register (DMA_CNDTRx)

Address offset: \( 0x0C + 0x14 * (x - 1) \) , ( \( x = 1 \) to \( 7 \) )

Reset value: 0x0000 0000

The address offsets of these registers are linked to the DMA channels availability. See Section 13.3: DMA implementation for more details.

Bits 31:16 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.

Bits 15:0 NDT[15:0] : Number of data to transfer ( \( 0 \) to \( 2^{16} - 1 \) )

This bitfield is updated by hardware when the channel is enabled:

• – It is decremented after each single DMA 'read followed by write' transfer, indicating the remaining amount of data items to transfer.
• – It is kept at zero when the programmed amount of data to transfer is reached, if the channel is not in circular mode (CIRC = 0 in the DMA_CCRx register).
• – It is reloaded automatically by the previously programmed value, when the transfer is complete, if the channel is in circular mode (CIRC = 1).

If this bitfield is zero, no transfer can be served whatever the channel status (enabled or not).

Note: This bitfield is set and cleared by software. It must not be written when the channel is enabled (EN = 1). It is read-only when the channel is enabled (EN = 1).
