Operation
Although the UART receive buffer is quadruple-buffered, the receiver shift register is still
shifting its characters when the DMA request is ready to read its contents; therefore, the
maximum number of data bytes read during a UART DMA request transfer is three.
When the DMA is configured for cycle steal, only one character will be transferred on a
DMA request. This mode should be used for DMA requests on FIFO not empty. DMA
requests are negated when a data byte is read from the UART receive buffer.
The UART can be configured to request service from the DMA controller on a FIFO FULL
of RxRDY condition. The steps needed to intialize DMA requests from the UART are listed
below.
1. Mask appropriate bits in IMR (bits 13-15 for UART0-UART2 respectively)
2. Initialize DMAREQC to map UART DMA Request to a DMA channel
3. Initialize DMA request in UART, see Table 23-14
23.5.6.2 UART Module Initialization Sequence
Table 23-15 shows the UART module initialization sequence.
Table 23-14. UART DMA Requests
Register Bit Interrupt
UMR1x 6 RxIRQ.
0 DMA request on RxRDY
1 DMA request on FIFO full
UIMRx 1 RxFIFO full will enable DMA requests
