28.11.21. alt_msgdma_start_prefetcher_with_extd_desc_list

Table 391.  alt_msgdma_prefetcher_add_standard_desc_to_list
Prototype: int alt_msgdma_start_prefetcher_with_extd_desc_list (alt_msgdma_dev *dev, alt_msgdma_prefetcher_extended_descriptor *list, alt_u8 park_mode_en, alt_u8 poll_en, alt_u8 last_desc_owned_by_sw, alt_u8 dcache_flush_desc_list);
Parameters:

*dev – device instance

**list – extended descriptor list

park_mode_en – park mode enabled or disabled

poll_en – polling enabled or disabled

last_desc_owned_by_sw – The sw/hw owned bit on the last descriptor

dcache_flush_desc_list – dcache flush operation on the descriptor list

Returns:

Return “0” on success.

“EBUSY” On prefetcher busy processing list already, it is up to user to stop prefetcher/dispatcher correctly before calling this function.

“ERROR” - if already busy will always return error.

Description: Function to start the prefetcher. Will return error if prefetcher already started.
