LPC4370 DMA SDRAM

[wsinter]

I use the EMC of LPC4370 to transfer data to SDRAM, it is right when I write and read the data using for loop.

piAddr = (uint32_t *)SDRAM_ADDR_BASE + 0;
for (i = 0; i < 12 * 1024 * 1024; i++) {
*piAddr++ = EMCData;
}

piAddr = (uint32_t *)SDRAM_ADDR_BASE + 0;

for (i = 0; i < 12 * 1024 * 1024; i++) { 
EMCtemp = *piAddr++;
if (EMCtemp != EMCData) {
SPIDataToSend = 1 ;
}
}

But I need to transfer the data from HSADC to SDRAM through DMA, I found the write operation failed.

 Can some one help me with the problem?

Below is the config for the SDRAM&DMA,  the burst size of DMA is 8.

Can someone help for teh problem,still I can not find the solution, the Transfer through DMA to SDRAM.

[Carlos_Mendoza]

Hi John,

Maybe the DMA implementation could be causing the problem, have you tried using the DMA timer trigger example from LPCOpen as base for your application? You can download the package from this link:

LPCOpen Software for LPC43XX|NXP 

Hope it helps!

Carlos，thanks for your reply.

I use HSADC DMA trigger to sample the data, and it is right when I  use internal RAM (Address starts from 0x10000000).

But when I use EMC to transfer data to external SDRAM, it is wrong ,the trigger source is also HSADC.

You mean that I need to use DMA timer trigger when use EMC SDRAM?

[Carlos_Mendoza]

Hi John,

Thanks for your response.

No, I just mentioned the example to make sure the DMA was correctly initialized. Could you tell us which SDRAM are you using? There is an example included in the LPC1857 LPCOpen package that you can use as reference for your application, it is the GPDMA speed example, tt transfers data from memory to memory. Depending on the SDRAM being used you can also take a look to the EMC control signals setup:

LPCOpen Software for LPC18XX|NXP 

Let me know if it helps!

Hi,Carlos:

The SDRAM is MT48LC16M16A2, I will check the example and try to modify my project.

Thank you
