2. Sets up the chaining DMA descriptor header and starts the transfer data from the
Endpoint memory to the BFM shared memory. The transfer calls the procedure
dma_set_header
which writes four dwords, DW0:DW3 (Table 17–14), into the
DMA write register module.
After writing the last dword, DW3, of the descriptor header, the DMA write starts
the three subsequent data transfers.
3. Waits for the DMA write completion by polling the BFM share memory location
0x80c, where the DMA write engine is updating the value of the number of
completed descriptor. Calls the procedures
rcmem_poll
and
msi_poll
to determine
when the DMA write transfers have completed.
