2. Babak Kalantari, EPICS Meeting, 11.10.2009, Kobe Direct Memory Access Processor board Slave board (e.g. ADC) MemoryCPU Memory Transfer using DMATransfer by CPU PCI-VME bridge Memory - Universe II - Tsi148 - etc. VMEbus

3. Babak Kalantari, EPICS Meeting, 11.10.2009, Kobe DMA drivers in out-of-the-box BSP’s : have different API from BSP to BSP depending on PCI-VME bus bridge controller some use polling to check transfer completion (MVME -23xx and -51xx boards have no interrupt handling, callback, …) have single-requester API while a transfer is on execution the next transfer request fails (DMA engine busy) application program has to keep retrying assume a fixed transfer protocol per VME access window DMA: software support

4. Babak Kalantari, EPICS Meeting, 11.10.2009, Kobe We’ve developed a driver that provides: 1)effective use of DMA engine interrupt / Error handling, user callback, DMA engine control/monitor, etc. 2)multi-requester API parallel request handling, reading status, cancelling, or stopping a transfer request 3)unique API throughout several processor boards: (mvme-23xx, mvme-51xx, mvme-6100, mvme-4100, should also work for mvme-3100) DMA: software support

5. Babak Kalantari, EPICS Meeting, 11.10.2009, Kobe DMA: software support API ( dmaLib.h ) mvme23xxmvme51xxmvme61xxmvme41xx implementation ( dmaLib.c ) BSP universe II implementation ( dmaLib.c ) BSP Tsi148 User application (drivers)

6. Babak Kalantari, EPICS Meeting, 11.10.2009, Kobe DMA driver API  dmaReqId = dmaTransferRequest (…)  dmaRequestStatRead (dmaReqId)  dmaRequestCancel (dmaReqId, forcedStop)  dmaStatReport() destination source size addrMode dataWidth direction timeout *cb_routine *cb_param *dmaStat

7. Babak Kalantari, EPICS Meeting, 11.10.2009, Kobe dmaReq_0 dmaReq_1 dmaReq_n msgQueue If queue non-empty then Handle dmaReq_x 1)Check if this request is not cancelled 2)Program DMA engine + initiate transfer 3)Block until completion or error occurrence 4)Call the user callback and pass the status DMA driver operation principle client server

8. Babak Kalantari, EPICS Meeting, 11.10.2009, Kobe Usage: same dmaLib.h in standard vxWorks include path rebuild kernel with the right dmaLib.c added to the BSP – Include the source code in configAll – Make a call to “dmaHandlerInit()” in usrConfig API Documentaion: https://controls.web.psi.ch/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/VxWorksDmaDriver
