MCP5566: Adapting DMA example for the UART

[zwilcox]

I'm adapting the DMA BlockMove example to use the ESCIA A to transmit data.

I can transmit over the ESCIA with out DMA.  However, nothing is transmitted when attempting to use the DMA engine

I'm sure it's something minor.  Any idea why DMA isn't sending data to the ESCIA for transmit?

The inner for loop completes but not the outer while loop

#include "MPC5566.h"
#include "esci.h"

const  uint8_t  SourceData[] = {"Hello WorldDMA\r\n"}; /* Source data string */
uint8_t  Destination = 0;
void initTCD18(void) {

  EDMA.TCD[18].SSIZE = 0;                        /* Read 2**0 = 1 byte per transfer */
  EDMA.TCD[18].SOFF = 1;                         /* After transfer, add 1 to src addr*/

Hi,

I wrote simple sample code long time ago. It should help, I hope. See attached project. It's for MPC5553 but it should be easy to port it to MPC5566.

Regards,

Lukas

Thanks.  It works!
