To ease the system integration task and to provide RAM independent timings, the
ARM966E-S registers all DMA inputs and outputs. This section details the behavior of
the ARM966E-S for DMA read and writes to single and dual-port RAMs.
Note
The dual-port RAM DMA solution also supports the single-port operation and so the
single-port diagrams are also applicable to dual-port RAMs.
Figure 5-3 shows DMA read operation from a single-port RAM.
