6.5 BUS ARBITRATION
The DMA controller module uses the M68000 bus arbitration protocol to request bus
mastership for DMA transfers. Each channel arbitrates for the bus independently. The
source (read) DMA bus cycle has timing identical to a read bus cycle. The destination
(write) DMA bus cycle has timing identical to a write bus cycle. However, the DMA
channel transfers are unique in one respect—FC3 can be asserted during the source
operand bus cycle and remain asserted until the end of the destination operand bus cycle.
For internal request generation as soon as the CCR STR bit is set, the DMA channel
arbitrates for the bus and begins to transfer data when it becomes bus master. For
external request generation, the STR bit must be set and a DREQ≈ signal must be
asserted before the channel arbitrates for the bus and begins a transfer.
6.6 DMA CHANNEL OPERATION
The following paragraphs describe the programmable channel functions available for the
DMA channel, the data transfer operations, and behavior during cycle termination. This
description applies to both channels.
Any DMA channel operation adheres to the following basic sequence:
1. Channel Initialization and Startup—The channel registers are initialized. The channel
is then started by setting the CCR STR bit. The first operand transfer request (either
internally or externally generated) is recognized.
2. Data Transfer—After a channel is started, it transfers one operand in response to
each request until an entire data block is transferred.
3. Channel Termination—The channel can terminate by normal completion or from an
error. The channel status register (CSR) indicates the status of the operation.
6.6.1 Channel Initialization and Startup
Before starting a block transfer operation, the channel registers must be initialized with
information describing the channel configuration, request generation method, and data
block. This initialization is accomplished by programming the appropriate information into
the channel registers.
The SAR is loaded with the source (read) address. If the transfer is from a peripheral
device to memory, the source address is the location of the peripheral data register. If the
transfer is from memory to a peripheral device or memory to memory, the source address
is the starting address of the data block. This address may be any byte address. In the
single-address mode with the destination (write) device requesting mode of operation, this
register is not used.
The DAR should contain the destination (write) address. If the transfer is from a peripheral
device to memory or memory to memory, the DAR is loaded with the starting address of
the data block to be written. If the transfer is from memory to a peripheral device, the DAR
is loaded with the address of the peripheral data register. This address may be any byte
