28.11.7. alt_msgdma_construct_standard_mm_to_st_descriptor

Table 377.  alt_msgdma_construct_standard_mm_to_st_descriptor
Prototype: int alt_msgdma_construct_standard_mm_to_st_descriptor (alt_msgdma_dev *dev, alt_msgdma_standard_descriptor *descriptor, alt_u32 *read_address, alt_u32 length, alt_u32 control)
Include: < modular_sgdma_dispatcher.h >
Parameters:

*dev-a pointer to msgdma instance.

*descriptor – a pointer to a standard descriptor structure.

*read_address – a pointer to the base address of the source memory.

length – is used to specify the number of bytes to transfer per descriptor. The largest possible value can be filled in is “0Xffffffff”.

control – control field.

Returns: “0” for success, -EINVAL for invalid argument, could be due to argument which has larger value than hardware setting value.
Description:

Function will call helper function “alt_msgdma_construct_standard_descriptor” for constructing mm_to_st standard descriptors. Unnecessary elements are set to 0 for completeness and will be ignored by the hardware.
