IMX8 SDMA

[HankChang989]

Can I use SDMA as PWM on IMX8?

[ceggers]

At least for i.MX6 and i.MX7, the table "SDMA event mapping" in the reference manual doesn't list the PWM units (I haven't any i.MX8 reference manual ready to hand). That means that the PWM controllers cannot signal any events to the SDMA.

Can you please provide some information about your intended application?

regards,
Christian

Hello @HankChang989 ,

Q)Can I use SDMA as PWM on IMX8?
->I have mentioned the list of the drivers that use SDMA and the number of SDMA physical channels used by each driver.

->A driver can specify the SDMA channel number that it wishes to use, static channel allocation, or can have the SDMA driver provide a free SDMA channel for the driver to use, dynamic channel allocation.
->Official NXP BSPs do not support sdma->pwm.

Please refer to the i.MX Reference Manual for more details.
