arm,dma-pl330¶

Description¶

These nodes are “dma” bus nodes.

PL330 DMA Controller

A phandle to the DMA controller plus "channel" integer cell specifying
channel to be used for data transfer

Example for pl330 DMA Controller
   pl330: pl330@48300000 {
                compatible = "arm,dma-pl330";
                ...
                dma-channels = <8>;
                #dma-cells = <1>;
                label = "PL330";
          };

If PCIe EP client uses channel 0 for Tx DMA and channel 1 for Rx DMA
   pcie0_ep: pcie@4e100000 {
                compatible = "brcm,iproc-pcie-ep";
                ...
                dmas = <&pl330 0>, <&pl330 1>;
                dma-names = "txdma", "rxdma";
                label = "PCIE_0";
          };

Properties¶

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name	Type	Details
`microcode`	`array`	microcode's physical memory address This property is required.
`#dma-cells`	`int`	Number of items to expect in a DMA specifier This property is required. Constant value: `1`
`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.

Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these may apply to the “arm,dma-pl330” compatible.
