static inline uint32_t dma_width_index(uint32_t size)

Look-up generic width index to be used in registers.

WARNING: This look-up works for most controllers, but may not work for yours. Ensure your controller expects the most common register bit values before using this convenience function. If your controller does not support these values, you will have to write your own look-up inside the controller driver.

Parameters

  • size – width of bus (in bytes)

Return values

common – DMA index to be placed into registers.

static inline uint32_t dma_burst_index(uint32_t burst)

Look-up generic burst index to be used in registers.

WARNING: This look-up works for most controllers, but may not work for yours. Ensure your controller expects the most common register bit values before using this convenience function. If your controller does not support these values, you will have to write your own look-up inside the controller driver.

Parameters

  • burst – number of bytes to be sent in a single burst

Return values

common – DMA index to be placed into registers.
