28.14. Modular Scatter-Gather DMA Dispatcher Core

The modular scatter-gather direct memory access (SGDMA) dispatcher IP is responsible for buffering descriptors and controlling the read and write master cores. The dispatcher IP receives and decodes the descriptor and dispatches instructions to the read host and write master cores for further operation. For pre-fetching use cases, the descriptor port is a streaming sink port. For non pre-fetching use cases, the descriptor port is a Memory-Mapped agent port.

You can configure the mSGDMA dispatcher IP for the following transfer types:
  • Memory-Mapped to Memory-Mapped
  • Streaming to Memory-Mapped
  • Memory-Mapped to Streaming

The dispatcher IP forms the control path of the modular SGDMA. It connects to the read and write master modules which form the data path of the modular SGDMA. As a result, all the interaction with the modular SGDMA involves the dispatcher core.
