Byte Count Registers (Bcr0–Bcr3); Byte Count Registers (Bcrn)—Bcr24Bit = 1; Byte Count Registers (Bcrn)—Bcr24Bit = 0 - Motorola ColdFire MCF5281 User Manual

The DMA does not maintain coherency with the MCF5282
cache. Therefore, DMAs should not transfer data to cacheable
memory unless software is used to maintain the cache
coherency.
The DMA should not be used to write data to the UART
transmit FIFO in cycle steal mode. When the UART interrupt
is used as a DMA request it does not negate fast enough to get
a single transfer. The UART transmit FIFO only has one entry
so the data from the second byte would be lost.
16.4.3 Byte Count Registers (BCR0–BCR3)
BCRn, shown in Figure 16-6 and Figure 16-7, hold the number of bytes yet to be
transferred for a given block. The offset within the memory map is based on the value of
MPARK[BCR24BIT]. BCRn decrements on the successful completion of the address
transfer of a write transfer. BCRn decrements by 1, 2, 4, or 16 for byte, word, longword, or
line accesses, respectively.
Figure 16-6 shows BCRn for BCR24BIT = 1.
