使用AXI DMA传输的步骤：
非Scatter Gather mode
To use the Simple mode DMA engine for transfers, the following setup is required:
- DMA Initialization using XAxiDma_CfgInitialize() function. This step initializes a driver instance for the given DMA engine and resets the engine.
- Enable interrupts if chosen to use interrupt mode. The application is responsible for setting up the interrupt system, which includes providing and connecting interrupt handlers and call back functions, before enabling the interrupts.
- Set the buffer address and length field in respective channels to start the DMA transfer
使用Scatter Gather mode
To use the SG mode DMA engine for transfers, the following setup are required:
- DMA Initialization using XAxiDma_CfgInitialize() function. This step initializes a driver instance for the given DMA engine and resets the engine.
- BD Ring creation. A BD ring is needed per DMA channel and can be built by calling XAxiDma_BdRingCreate().
- Enable interrupts if chose to use interrupt mode. The application is responsible for setting up the interrupt system, which includes providing and connecting interrupt handlers and call back functions, before enabling the interrupts.
- Start a DMA transfer: Call XAxiDma_BdRingStart() to start a transfer for the first time or after a reset, and XAxiDma_BdRingToHw() if the channel is already started. Calling XAxiDma_BdRingToHw() when a DMA channel is not running will not put the BDs to the hardware, and the BDs will be processed later when the DMA channel is started through XAxiDma_BdRingStart().
How to start DMA transactions
The user application uses XAxiDma_BdRingToHw() to submit BDs to the hardware to start DMA transfers.
For both channels, if the DMA engine is currently stopped (using XAxiDma_Pause()), the newly added BDs will be accepted but not processed until the DMA engine is started, using XAxiDma_BdRingStart(), or resumed, using XAxiDma_Resume().
Post-Processing 这个还不是很了解
Software Post-Processing on completed DMA transactions
If the interrupt system has been set up and the interrupts are enabled, a DMA channels notifies the software about the completion of a transfer through interrupts. Otherwise, the user application can poll for completions of the BDs, using XAxiDma_BdRingFromHw() or XAxiDma_BdHwCompleted().
- Once BDs are finished by a channel, the application first needs to fetch them from the channel using XAxiDma_BdRingFromHw().
- On the TX side, the application now could free the data buffers attached to those BDs as the data in the buffers has been transmitted.
- On the RX side, the application now could use the received data in the buffers attached to those BDs.
- For both channels, completed BDs need to be put back to the Free group using XAxiDma_BdRingFree(), so they can be used for future transactions.
- On the RX side, it is the application's responsibility to have BDs ready to receive data at any time. Otherwise, the RX channel refuses to accept any data if it has no RX BDs.
