DMA Driver Framework basics

[fernandoamorim]

Hello,

I'm new in the Freescale world and I'd like to know if anybody can help me on the DMA Driver Framework. I'm using CW 10.5, MQX 4.1 and a TWR-K60 KIT. I need to send an SPI message every 50 microsseconds and I think that with the DMA driver it's possible to do that, but I'm not familliar (yet) with the structs and functions of the I/O drivers.

I've already read the MQX I/O User Guide. Does anybody have an example using these DMA functions (dma_init, dma_channel_claim, dma_transfer_submit, etc.) so I can understand how to implement them?

Thanks in advance.

Fernando

Hi Fernando,

I am in trouble with same issue.Have you found dma code?

[fernandoamorim]

ilke,

I've downloaded the Kinetis SDK drivers (beta), there is an example there on how to use the SPI with DMA.

Hope this helps,

Fernando

Thank you Fernando,

I will not use SPI, I am planning to write data to flexbus via dma but this sample code may give me idea,

It will be great if it is possible for you to post it here,

Thanks again,

İlke

Hello Sol,

I've already looked at this thread, but they are accessing the low level registers there. What I'm trying to do is to use the DMA abstratction layer functions (dma_init, dma_channel_claim, dma_transfer_submit, etc.) but unfortunately I didn't found anything on the web. In the "C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_1\mqx\examples" folder there are no examples using these functions either.
