The DMA controller performs direct memory transfer: as an AHB master, it can take the
control of the AHB bus matrix to initiate AHB transactions.
It can carry out the following transactions:
• peripheral-to-memory
•
memory-to-peripheral
• memory-to-memory
The DMA controller provides two AHB master ports: the AHB memory port, intended to be
connected to memories and the AHB peripheral port, intended to be connected to
peripherals. However, to allow memory-to-memory transfers, the AHB peripheral port must
also have access to the memories.
The AHB slave port is used to program the DMA controller (it supports only 32-bit
accesses).
