DMA Descriptor Controller Registers

The DMA Descriptor Controller manages Read and Write DMA operations. The Descriptor Controller

supports up to 128 descriptors for read and write DMAs. Host software running on an embedded CPU

programs the Descriptor Controller internal registers with the location and size of the descriptor table

residing in the PCI Express main memory. The DMA Descriptor Controller instructs the Read DMA to

copy the table to its own internal FIFO. When the DMA Descriptor Controller is instantiated as a separate

component, it drives table entries on the

RdDmaRxData_i[159:0]

and

WrDmaRxData_i[159:0]

buses.

When the DMA Descriptor Controller is embedded in the Avalon-MM bridge, it drives this information

on an internal conduit interface.
