5.56 Write Stream DMA (3Ah)
Table 116: Write Stream DMA Command (3Ah)
The Write Stream DMA command allows the host to write data using the DMA data transfer protocol. This com-
mand allows for the host to specify to the device that additional actions need to be performed prior to the comple-
tion of the command if the required bits are set.
mand allows for the host to specify to the device that additional actions need to be performed prior to the comple-
tion of the command if the required bits are set.
If the Write Continuous bit is set to one, the device shall not stop execution of the command due to errors. If the
WC bit is set to one and errors occur in the transfer or writing of the data, the device shall continue to transfer the
amount of data requested and then provide ending status with the BSY bit cleared to zero, the SE bit set to one, the
ERR bit cleared to zero, and the type of error, ICRC, IDNF, or ABRT, reported in the error log. If the WC bit is set
to one and the Command Completion Time Limit expires, the device shall stop execution of the command and pro-
vide ending status with BSY bit cleared to zero, the SE bit set to one, the ERR bit cleared to zero, and report the
fact that the Command Completion Time Limit expired by setting the CCTO bit in the error log to one, In all cases,
the device shall attempt to transfer the amount of data requested within the Command Completion Time Limit
event if some data transferred is in error.
