Description

These nodes are “dma” bus nodes.

STM32 DMA controller (V1)

It is present on stm32 devices like stm32F4 or stm32F2.
This DMA controller includes FIFO control registers.
DMA clients connected to the STM32 DMA controller must use the format
described in the dma.txt file, using a four-cell specifier for each
channel: a phandle to the DMA controller plus the following four integer cells:
  1. channel: the dma stream from 0 to <dma-requests>
  2. slot: DMA periph request ID, which is written in the DMAREQ_ID of the DMAMUX_CxCR
  this value is 0 for Memory-to-memory transfers
  or a value between <1> .. <dma-generators> (not supported yet)
  or a value between <dma-generators>+1  ..  <dma-generators>+<dma-requests>
  3. channel-config: A 32bit mask specifying the DMA channel configuration
  which is device dependent:
      -bit 6-7 : Direction  (see dma.h)
             0x0: MEM to MEM
             0x1: MEM to PERIPH
             0x2: PERIPH to MEM
             0x3: reserved for PERIPH to PERIPH
      -bit 9 : Peripheral Increment Address
             0x0: no address increment between transfers
             0x1: increment address between transfers
      -bit 10 : Memory Increment Address
             0x0: no address increment between transfers
             0x1: increment address between transfers
      -bit 11-12 : Peripheral data size
             0x0: Byte (8 bits)
             0x1: Half-word (16 bits)
             0x2: Word (32 bits)
             0x3: reserved
      -bit 13-14 : Memory data size
             0x0: Byte (8 bits)
             0x1: Half-word (16 bits)
             0x2: Word (32 bits)
             0x3: reserved
      -bit 15: Peripheral Increment Offset Size
             0x0: offset size is linked to the peripheral bus width
             0x1: offset size is fixed to 4 (32-bit alignment)
      -bit 16-17 : Priority level
             0x0: low
             0x1: medium
             0x2: high
             0x3: very high
  4. features: A 32bit bitfield value specifying DMA features
      -bit 0-1: DMA FIFO threshold selection
             0x0: 1/4 full FIFO
             0x1: 1/2 full FIFO
             0x2: 3/4 full FIFO
             0x3: full FIFO

  examples for stm32f411
   dma2: dma-controller@40020400 {
       compatible = "st,stm32-dma-v1";
       ...
       st,mem2mem;
       dma-requests = <7>;
       status = "disabled";
      };

For the client part, example for stm32f411 on DMA2 instance
  Tx using stream 5 on channel 3 (stream 2 on channel 2 is also possible)
  Rx using stream 2 on channel 3 (stream 0 on channel 3 is also possible)
  spi1 {
   dmas = <&dma2 5 3 0x28440 0x03>,
         <&dma2 2 3 0x28480 0x03>;
   dma-names = "tx", "rx";
   };

Properties

Properties not inherited from the base binding file.

Name

Type

Details

#dma-cells

int

Number of items to expect in a DMA specifier

This property is required.

Constant value: 4

st,mem2mem

boolean

If the DMA controller V1 supports memory to memory transfer

dma-offset

int

offset in the table of channels when mapping to a DMAMUX
for 1st dma instance, offset is 0,
for 2nd dma instance, offset is the nb of dma channels of the 1st dma,
for 3rd dma instance, offset is the nb of dma channels of the 2nd dma
plus the nb of dma channels of the 1st dma instance, etc.

dma-channel-mask

int

Bitmask of available DMA channels in ascending order that are
not reserved by firmware and are available to the
kernel. i.e. first channel corresponds to LSB.

dma-channels

int

Number of DMA channels supported by the controller

dma-requests

int

Number of DMA request signals supported by the controller.

dma-buf-addr-alignment

int

Memory address alignment requirement for DMA buffers used by the controller.

dma-buf-size-alignment

int

Memory size alignment requirement for DMA buffers used by the controller.

dma-copy-alignment

int

Minimal chunk of data possible to be copied by the controller.
