• The chaining DMA writes the
EPLast
bit of the Chaining DMA Descriptor Tableafter
completing the data transfer for the first and last descriptors.
• The chaining DMA issues an MSI when the last descriptor has completed.
• The data written back to BFM is checked against the data that was read from the BFM.
• The driver programs the chaining DMA to perform a test that demonstrates downstream access
of the chaining DMA Endpoint memory.
Note: Edit this file if you want to add your own custom PCIe transactions. Insert your own custom
function after the
find_mem_bar
function. You can use the functions in the BFM Procedures and
Functions section.

DMA Write Cycles
The procedure
dma_wr_test
used for DMA writes uses the following steps:
1. Configures the BFM shared memory. Configuration is accomplished with three descriptor tables
described below.
