Hi
I've a question about flexbus on kinetis (I use K60).
I need to trasfer a large file from on-chip ram to an external memory connected on the flexbus. I need to do this with low CPU intervention.
is it possible wiht flexbus?
In other word can I copy a on-chip memory zone (from address A to addressB) out through flexbus?
In other word, again, Is it possible to use flexbus with DMA on Kinets?
thanks a lot for help.

Here's a snippet from my K70 flexbus DMA code using CW10.2. I previously setup my flexbus for 32-bit transfers starting at address 0x60000000.
#define FLEXBUS_START_ADDRESS 0x60000000
#define NWORDS 1000
uint32 dmaBuf[NWORDS];
SIM_SCGC7 |= SIM_SCGC7_DMA_MASK;
DMA_CSR_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = 0;
// major loop count (current = beginning)
DMA_CITER_ELINKNO_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) =
DMA_BITER_ELINKNO_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = 1;
// minor loop count (in bytes), word sizes
DMA_NBYTES_MLNO_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = NWORDS << 2;
DMA_ATTR_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) =
DMA_ATTR_SMOD(0)| DMA_ATTR_SSIZE(2)
| DMA_ATTR_DMOD(0)| DMA_ATTR_DSIZE(2) ;
// source addr, inc, end adj
DMA_SADDR_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = (uint32)&dmaBuf;
DMA_SOFF_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = sizeof(uint32);
DMA_SLAST_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = -(NWORDS << 2);
// dest addr, inc, end adj
DMA_DADDR_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = FLEXBUS_START_ADDRESS;
DMA_DOFF_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = 0;
DMA_DLAST_SGA_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) = 0;
DMA is now ready to loop through my dmaBuf, transfering all 1000 32-bit words out to a single flexbus location. I call this statement every 1ms (in my main systick event loop) to trigger it:
DMA_CSR_REG(DMA_BASE_PTR,1) |= DMA_CSR_START_MASK;
In the future I will add completion interrupts and error checking and such, but for now this minimal code seems to be doing the job quite reliably. DMA is a beautiful thing.

Hi
Yes, it is possible to perform a DMA transfer from internal memory to FlexBus memory.
