DMA Controller
Overview
Comcores multi-channel DMA Controller IP core provides high bandwidth direct memory access between memory and AXI4-Stream or AHB type of IP peripherals for up to 16 channels. The DMA IP includes Scatter-Gather capabilities which help in offloading data movement tasks from the Central Processing Unit (CPU) in processor-based systems.
Configuration of status and management registers are accessed through an AXI4-Lite or AHB slave interface. Control and Status streaming interfaces are used for sending/receiving user application data. Interrupts are available to indicate error and completion events.
