Figure 5-10 DMA with single wait state for nonsequential accesses
The logic used to generate DRWAIT uses both the loopback scheme using DRSEQ for 
inserting a wait state for a nonsequential request, and an additional signal DMAWAIT
for stalling during DMA accesses. The FORCE_NSEQ signal is an override signal 
used to force the ARM926EJ-S access to be treated as nonsequential because of an 
intervening DMA access.
The AWE and nRW inputs to the TCM are either sourced directly from the 
ARM926EJ-S TCM interface, from the DMA controller, or from the capture register 
(clocked by REQCLK) if the ARM926EJ-S access is postponed because of DMA 
activity.
The cycle timing of the circuit shown in Figure 5-10 is shown in Figure 5-11 on 
page 5-17
