Arria10 SOCFPGA ARM DMA usage - way to use ARM DMA to copy bulk data inside DDR ？

[JET60200]

I am using A10 SOCFPGA , where Linux runs on SOC ARM（dual-A9）.

In my application, there‘re bulks of memory copying from one place to another place each 1ms，currently I use memcpy() which occupy CPU heavily.

Thus I want to use ARM DMA to do this, to avoid use cpu memcpy() . The question is " HOW _TO DO THIS " ? is there any code example ?

Thanks for help

Hi,

You may find design example in our design store, unfortunately there is no exact design example that you are requesting.

However, there is a Data Mover which utilize the msGDMA, that uses the ARM Cortex A9, you may check it out here:

Hi el,

In RocketBoards, I was told here is an very similar example code ( https://github.com/robertofem/CycloneVSoC-examples/tree/master/Linux-modules/DMA_PL330_LKM_basic ),

Thus I'm trying to check this example and update to my A10SOC LINUX.

Hi,

Got it, I also recommend that you check the datamover example to help guide you.
