16. Basic direct memory access controller (BDMA)

16.1 Introduction

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

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

The BDMA controller features a single AHB master architecture.

There are two instances of BDMA, BDMA1 (dedicated to the 8-filter DFSDM) and BDMA2, with 8 channels each.

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

16.2 BDMA main features

16.3 BDMA implementation

16.3.1 BDMA1 and BDMA2

BDMA1 and BDMA2 are implemented with the hardware configuration parameters shown in the table below.

16.3.2 BDMA request mapping

The BDMA2 controller is connected to DMA requests from the AHB/APB peripherals through the DMAMUX2 peripheral.

For the mapping of the different requests, refer to the Section 17.3: DMAMUX implementation .

A channel request x of the BDMA1 is connected to the DFSDM request of the same index x.

16.4 BDMA functional description

16.4.1 BDMA block diagram

The BDMA block diagram is shown in the figure below.

Figure 88. BDMA block diagram

The diagram illustrates the internal architecture of the BDMA controller, divided into two main functional blocks: BDMA1 and BDMA2.

BDMA1 (dedicated to DFSDM) is shown in the upper section. It contains eight channels (Ch 0 to Ch 7) connected to a multiplexer. The multiplexer output is connected to an AHB master interface, which is connected to a 32-bit AHB bus. An AHB slave interface is also connected to the same 32-bit AHB bus. An interrupt interface is connected to the AHB slave interface and outputs the signal \( OR(bdma1\_it[0..7]) \) . An arbiter is connected to the channels and the interrupt interface. The arbiter receives \( bdma1\_req[0..7] \) and \( bdma1\_ack[0..7] \) signals from an external 8-filter DFSDM block.

BDMA2 (in SmartRun domain) is shown in the lower section. It has a similar internal structure with eight channels (Ch 0 to Ch 7), a multiplexer, an AHB master interface, an AHB slave interface, an interrupt interface, and an arbiter. The AHB master and slave interfaces are connected to a 32-bit AHB bus. The interrupt interface outputs the signal \( bdma2\_it[0..7] \) . The arbiter receives \( bdma2\_req[0..7] \) and \( bdma2\_ack[0..7] \) signals from an external DMAMUX2 (in SmartRun domain) block.

Both BDMA1 and BDMA2 are connected to 32-bit AHB buses. The diagram is labeled with MSV48185V2 in the bottom right corner.

The BDMA 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 BDMA target the same destination (memory or peripheral).

The BDMA2 controller is connected to DMA requests from the AHB/APB peripherals through the DMAMUX2 peripheral.

A channel request x of the BDMA1 is connected to the DFSDM request of the same index x.

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

The BDMA2 controller generates an interrupt per channel to the interrupt controller and the BDMA1 dedicated to DFSDM generates a single ORed interrupt.

16.4.3 BDMA transfers

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

A BDMA 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 BDMA transfer occur:

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

The peripheral may order a further single request and initiate another single BDMA 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 BDMA controller. The BDMA controller reads then a single data in the memory and writes this data to the peripheral.

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

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 BDMA_CPARx or BDMA_CM0/1ARx register.

The start address used for the first transfer is the base address of the peripheral or memory, and is programmed in the BDMA_CPARx or BDMA_CM0/1ARx register.

This sequence is repeated until BDMA_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.

16.4.4 BDMA arbitration

The BDMA 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 BDMA 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:

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

16.4.5 BDMA channels

Each channel may handle a BDMA 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 BDMA_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 BDMA_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 BDMA_CPARx or BDMA_CM0/1ARx 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 BDMA_CNDTRx register.

Note: If the channel x is disabled, the BDMA registers are not reset. The DMA channel registers (BDMA_CCRx, BDMA_CPARx and BDMA_CM0ARx) retain the initial values programmed during the channel configuration phase.

In circular mode , after the last data transfer, the BDMA_CNDTRx register is automatically reloaded with the initially programmed value. The current internal address registers are reloaded with the base address values from the BDMA_CPARx and BDMA_CM0/1ARx registers.

Channel configuration procedure

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

  1. 1. Set the peripheral register address in the BDMA_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 BDMA_CM0ARx 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 BDMA_CNDTRx register.
    After each data transfer, this value is decremented.
  4. 4. Configure the parameters listed below in the BDMA_CCRx register:
    • – the channel priority
    • – the data transfer direction
    • – the circular mode
    • – the double-buffer 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 BDMA_CCRx register.

A channel, as soon as enabled, may serve any BDMA 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 BDMA_CCRx register, to configure and enable the channel.

Channel state and disabling a channel

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

The three following use cases may happen:

This corresponds to the two following actions:

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

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 BDMA_CNDTRx register content may not correctly reflect the remaining data transfers versus the aborted source and destination buffer/register.

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:

When a channel transfer error occurs, the EN bit of the BDMA_CCRx register is cleared by hardware. This EN bit can not be set again by software to re-activate the channel x, until the TEIFx bit of the BDMA_CxISR 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 BDMA_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 \( BDMA\_CCRx \) 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 \( BDMA\_CNDTRx \) value before starting/enabling a transfer, and after having stopped a circular transfer.

Memory-to-memory mode

The BDMA 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 \( BDMA\_CCRx \) register is set, the channel, if enabled, initiates transfers. The transfer stops once the \( BDMA\_CNDTRx \) 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 \( BDMA\_CCRx \) register.

Double-buffer mode (in memory-to-peripheral and peripheral-to memory transfers)

The BDMA channels can operate in double-buffer mode.

The difference compared to a regular operation is that the BDMA controller toggles between two memory address pointers at the end of each BDMA transfer, thus accessing two memory areas in an alternate way. This allows the software to access one of the two memory areas while the BDMA controller accesses the other one. The double-buffer mode transfer operates in both directions, so the target memory can be either the source or the destination.

The double-buffer mode is configured by setting both the \( DBM \) and \( CIRC \) bits of the \( BDMA\_CCRx \) register.

Note: The double-buffer mode must not be used in memory-to-memory mode. Before enabling a channel in double-buffer mode ( \( DBM = 1 \) ), the software has to configure appropriately the \( MEM2MEM \) bit ( \( MEM2MEM = 0 \) ).

The steps described below allow the configuration of a BDMA channel x in double-buffer mode:

Note: Independently from the value of \( DBM \) bit of the \( BDMA\_CCRx \) register, if \( CT = 1 \) , the memory address pointer for the BDMA transfer is defined by \( BDMA\_CM1ARx \) , and not by \( BDMA\_CM0ARx \) .

Peripheral-to-peripheral mode

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

Programming transfer direction, assigning source/destination

The value of the DIR bit of the BDMA_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):

16.4.6 BDMA data width, alignment and endianness

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

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

When the BDMA 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 BDMA controller writes the 32 HWDATA bits as shown in the two examples below:

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:

16.4.7 BDMA error management

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

The TEIFx bit of the BDMA_ISR register is set. An interrupt is then generated if the TEIE bit of the BDMA_CCRx register is set.

The EN bit of the BDMA_CCRx register can not be set again by software (channel x re-activated) until the TEIFx bit of the BDMA_ISR register is cleared (by setting the CTEIFx bit of the BDMA_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 BDMA and the peripheral in DMA mode for a new transfer.

16.5 BDMA 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.

16.6.2 BDMA interrupt flag clear register (BDMA_IFCR)

Address offset: 0x04

Reset value: 0x0000 0000

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

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

Writing 0 into any flag clear bit has no effect.
