107 <h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>\r
108 <p>\r
109 EDMA3 LLD is a single product package containing the following\r
110 stand-alone\r
111 software components:\r
112 </p>\r
113 <ul type="disc">\r
114 <a name="Introduction"> <li> <b>EDMA3 Resource Manager</b> - TI\r
115 mandated library for all EDMA3 peripheral users to acquire and\r
116 configure EDMA3 hardware resources (DMA/QDMA channels, PaRAM Sets, TCCs\r
117 etc.) and DMA Interrupt Service Routines. </li>\r
118 <li> <b>EDMA3 Driver</b> - Functional library providing APIs for\r
119 programming, scheduling and synchronizing with EDMA transfers and many\r
120 more. </li>\r
121 </a>\r
122 </ul>\r
123 <p>\r
124 EDMA3 Resource Manager can be used independently whereas the EDMA3\r
125 Driver requires\r
126 the Resource Manager services internally.\r
127 </p>\r
128 <p>\r
129 EDMA3 LLD (both Resource Manager and the Driver) is a platform\r
130 independent package.\r
131 Hence it can be used across multiple platforms. Porting instructions\r
132 are provided for both the components to do the same.\r
133 </p>\r
134 <p>\r
135 It is also an OS-agnostic package and thus can be used across multiple\r
136 operating\r
137 systems. OS-adaptation layer needs to be provided by the user (in case\r
138 it is needed)\r
139 for OS customization. Instructions to do the same are also provided\r
140 along with\r
141 the package.\r
142 </p>\r
143 <p>\r
144 The Low Level Driver has already been ported (DSP/BIOS Operating\r
145 Systems)\r
146 and tested on various platforms mentioned below. Sample initialization\r
147 libraries,\r
148 which configure the EDMA3 hardware and provide the necessary OS\r
149 abstraction layer,\r
150 are also a part of the package. These libraries are available both for\r
151 the EDMA3\r
152 Resource Manager and EDMA3 Driver. These could be used for proper\r
153 initialization of the software component(s) along with the OS\r
154 adaptation layer\r
155 for the same.\r
156 </p>\r
157 <p>\r
158 The Low Level Driver consists of the following packages:\r
159 </p>\r
160 <ul type="disc">\r
161 <a name="Introduction"> <li> <tt><b>ti.sdo.edma3.rm</b></tt> -\r
162 EDMA3 Resource Manager. </li>\r
163 <li> <tt><b>ti.sdo.edma3.rm.sample</b></tt> - Sample initialization\r
164 library / OS abstraction layer for the Resource Manager. </li>\r
165 <li> <tt><b>ti.sdo.edma3.drv</b></tt> - EDMA3 Driver. </li>\r
166 <li> <tt><b>ti.sdo.edma3.drv.sample</b></tt> - Sample initialization\r

446 <p>\r
447 The following are known issues with the current EDMA3 LLD release:\r
448 </p>\r
449 <h4><a name="Known_Issues">Pre-built instrumented libraries for DA830\r
450 not provided initially.</a></h4>\r
451 <p>Pre-built instrumented EDMA3 libraries for DA830 will not be\r
452 provided\r
453 initially. XDC does not support the same and hence the limitation. See\r
454 IR#\r
455 SDOCM00036738 for more details.\r
456 </p>\r
457 <h4><a name="Known_Issues">EDMA3 hardware does not work properly in\r
458 FIFO mode with all the controllers.</a></h4>\r
459 <p>Very few peripherals support EDMA3 FIFO mode. EMIF controller\r
460 doesn't support\r
461 the same. So EDMA3 CANNOT be used in FIFO mode for doing a\r
462 memory-to-memory data\r
463 transfers, EDMA3 being configured in the FIFO mode. Applications trying\r
464 to use\r
465 EDMA3 in FIFO mode should first check their respective\r
466 peripheral-controller\r
467 document for this mode support.\r
468 </p>\r
469 <h4><a name="Known_Issues">PingPong Example Fails for certain EDMA\r
470 instances for some DSP cores in Release mode only.</a></h4>\r
471 <p>The PingPong example in the package fails for certain EDMA Instances\r
472 for some DSP cores in Release mode only. It passes for Debug mode. See\r
473 IR#\r
