Why is the next descriptor register of the Scatter-Gather DMA (SG-DMA) Controller Core not updating while the busy status is set?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

 

The next descriptor register is only updated when a host writes to the control and status port.  As the SGDMA is operating it will not update the next descriptor register automatically.
