Default Value:

7:6 Reserved.
FIFO Ready (FIFORDY) — RO. For output streams, the controller hardware will set
this bit to 1 while the output DMA FIFO contains enough data to maintain the stream on
the link. This bit defaults to 0 on reset because the FIFO is cleared on a reset.
5
For input streams, the controller hardware will set this bit to 1 when a valid descriptor
is loaded and the engine is ready for the RUN bit to be set.
Descriptor Error — R/WC.
1 = A serious error occurred during the fetch of a descriptor. This could be a result of a
4
Software may attempt to restart the stream engine after addressing the cause of the
error and writing a 1 to this bit to clear it.
FIFO Error — R/WC.
1 = FIFO error occurred. This bit is set even if an interrupt is not enabled. The bit is
For an input stream, this indicates a FIFO overrun occurring while the RUN bit is set.
3 When this happens, the FIFO pointers do not increment and the incoming data is not
written into the FIFO, thereby being lost.
For an output stream, this indicates a FIFO underrun when there are still buffers to
send. The hardware should not transmit anything on the link for the associated stream
if there is not valid data to send.
Buffer Completion Interrupt Status — R/WC.
This bit is set to 1 by the hardware after the last sample of a buffer has been
2
processed, AND if the Interrupt on Completion bit is set in the command byte of the
buffer descriptor. It remains active until software clears it by writing a 1 to it.

Master Abort, a parity or ECC error on the bus, or any other error which renders
the current Buffer Descriptor or Buffer Descriptor list useless. This error is treated
as a fatal stream error, as the stream cannot continue running. The RUN bit will be
cleared and the stream will stopped.
