XE320 product description
DMA Channel Controllers
Only “I/O-to-memory” and “memory-to-I/O” transfers are allowed. “I/O-to-I/O” and “memory-to-memory”
transfers are disallowed by the hardware configuration.
The system controller supports seven DMA channels, each with a page register used to extend the
addressing range of the channel to 16 MB. The following table summarizes how the DMA channels are
allocated.
Interrupt Controllers
The Interrupt Requests (IRQs) are numbered sequentially, starting with the master controller, and
followed by the slave.
