Description

These nodes are “dma” bus nodes.

STM32 BDMA controller

The STM32 BDMA is a general-purpose direct memory access controller
capable of supporting 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 independent BDMA channels.
Each channel can have up to 8 requests.
BDMA clients connected to the STM32 BDMA controller must use the format
described in the dma.txt file, using a four-cell specifier for each
channel: a phandle to the BDMA controller plus the following four integer cells:
  1. channel: the bdma stream from 0 to <bdma-requests>
  2. slot: bdma request
  3. channel-config: A 32bit mask specifying the BDMA channel configuration
  which is device dependent:
      -bit 6-7 : Direction  (see dma.h)
             0x0: MEM to MEM
             0x1: MEM to PERIPH
             0x2: PERIPH to MEM
             0x3: reserved for PERIPH to PERIPH
      -bit 9 : Peripheral Increment Address
             0x0: no address increment between transfers
             0x1: increment address between transfers
      -bit 10 : Memory Increment Address
             0x0: no address increment between transfers
             0x1: increment address between transfers
      -bit 11-12 : Peripheral data size
             0x0: Byte (8 bits)
             0x1: Half-word (16 bits)
             0x2: Word (32 bits)
             0x3: reserved
      -bit 13-14 : Memory data size
             0x0: Byte (8 bits)
             0x1: Half-word (16 bits)
             0x2: Word (32 bits)
             0x3: reserved
      -bit 15: Peripheral Increment Offset Size
             0x0: offset size is linked to the peripheral bus width
             0x1: offset size is fixed to 4 (32-bit alignment)
      -bit 16-17 : Priority level
             0x0: low
             0x1: medium
             0x2: high
             0x3: very high

  };

Properties

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name

Type

Details

st,mem2mem

boolean

If the BDMA controller supports memory to memory transfer

dma-offset

int

offset in the table of channels when mapping to a DMAMUX for 1st dma instance, offset is 0, for 2nd dma instance, offset is the nb of dma channels of the 1st dma, for 3rd dma instance, offset is the nb of dma channels of the 2nd dma plus the nb of dma channels of the 1st dma instance, etc.

#dma-cells

int

Number of items to expect in a DMA specifier

This property is required.

Constant value: 4

dma-channel-mask

int

Bitmask of available DMA channels in ascending order that are
not reserved by firmware and are available to the
kernel. i.e. first channel corresponds to LSB.

dma-channels

int

Number of DMA channels supported by the controller

dma-requests

int

Number of DMA request signals supported by the controller.

dma-buf-addr-alignment

int

Memory address alignment requirement for DMA buffers used by the controller.

dma-buf-size-alignment

int

Memory size alignment requirement for DMA buffers used by the controller.

dma-copy-alignment

int

Minimal chunk of data possible to be copied by the controller.
