eDMA Lockstep Implementation

[jtillman]

I want to be sure we are interpreting the S32V234's RAM FMEDA cell `eDMA Lockstep Enabled` correctly

The safety manual states, "As eDMA is a replicated module, no software action is needed to detect faults inside the module."

Does this mean lockstep is enabled for every transaction by default? i.e. We (software engineers) don't need to synchronize 2 identical DMA transfer requests in software to implement this requirement?

I see NCF[10] is dedicated to eDMA Lockstep errors so if the above is true, it would seem our only action is to make sure we set the appropriate reaction to handling when that error is asserted

Thanks

it is confirmed that the DMA lockstep is always enabled in S32V234. The customer needs to set the appropriate reaction for lockstep error which is signaled to FCCU at NCF[10].
