4.3.4.6 Scatter Gather DMA
In the case of scatter gather DMA, there are multiple
noncontiguous sources or destinations that are required to
effectively carry out an overall DMA transaction. For example, a
packet may need to be transmitted off of the device and the
packet elements, including the header, payload, and trailer, exist
in various noncontiguous locations in memory. Scatter gather
DMA allows the segments to be concatenated together by using
multiple TDs in a chain. The chain gathers the data from the
multiple locations. A similar concept applies for the reception of
data onto the device. Certain parts of the received data may need
to be scattered to various locations in memory for software
processing convenience. Each TD in the chain specifies the
location for each discrete element in the chain.
4.3.4.7 Packet Queuing DMA
Packet queuing DMA is similar to scatter gather DMA but
specifically refers to packet protocols. With these protocols,
there may be separate configuration, data, and status phases
associated with sending or receiving a packet.
For instance, to transmit a packet, a memory mapped
configuration register can be written inside a peripheral,

PRELIMINARY
specifying the overall length of the ensuing data phase. The CPU
can set up this configuration information anywhere in system
memory and copy it with a simple TD to the peripheral. After the
configuration phase, a data phase TD (or a series of data phase
TDs) can begin (potentially using scatter gather). When the data
phase TD(s) finish, a status phase TD can be invoked that reads
some memory mapped status information from the peripheral
and copies it to a location in system memory specified by the
CPU for later inspection. Multiple sets of configuration, data, and
status phase “subchains” can be strung together to create larger
chains that transmit multiple packets in this way. A similar
concept exists in the opposite direction to receive the packets.
4.3.4.8 Nested DMA
One TD may modify another TD, as the TD configuration space
is memory mapped similar to any other peripheral. For example,
a first TD loads a second TD’s configuration and then calls the
second TD. The second TD moves data as required by the
application. When complete, the second TD calls the first TD,
which again updates the second TD’s configuration. This
process repeats as often as necessary.
