18.8.2 IDMAx Parameter RAM
When an IDMAx channel is conÞgured to auto buffer or buffer chaining mode, the
MPC8260 uses the IDMAx parameters listed in the Table 18-4. Parameters should be
modiÞed only while the channel is disabled, that is, before the Þrst

Each IDMAx channel parameter table can be placed at any 64-byte aligned address in the
dual-port RAMÕs general-purpose area (banks 1Ð8). The CP accesses each IDMAx channel
parameter table using a user-programmed pointer (IDMAx_BASE) located in the
parameter RAM; see Section 13.5.2, ÒParameter RAM.Ó For example, if the IDMA1
channel parameter table is to be placed at address offset 0x2000 in the dual-port RAM,
write 0x2000 to IDMA1_BASE.

IBASE
Hword IDMA BD table base address. DeÞnes the starting location in the dual-port RAM
for the set of IDMA BDs. It is an offset from the beginning of the dual-port RAM.
The user must initialize IBASE before enabling the IDMA channel and should
not overlap BD tables of two enabled serial controllers or IDMA channels or
erratic operation results. The IBASE value should be 16-bit aligned.

DCM
Hword DMA channel mode. See Section 18.8.2.1, ÒDMA Channel Mode (DCM).Ó

DPR_BUF
Hword IDMA transfer buffer base address. The base address should be aligned
according to the buffer size determined by DCM[DMA_WRAP]. The transfer
buffer size should be consistent with DCM[DMA_WRAP]; that is, DPR_BUF =

BUF_INV
Hword Internal buffer inventory. Indicates the quantity of data inside the internal buffer.

SS_MAX
Hword Steady-state maximum transfer size in bytes. User-deÞned parameter to
increase microcode efÞciency. Initialize to internal_buffer_size - 32, that is,

size on transfers to/from memory in memory-to-peripheral mode or in
peripheral-to-memory mode. For memory-to-memory mode, SS_MAX is used
as the transfer size for at least one of the devices. SS_MAX should be
consistent with STS, DTS, and DCM[S/D]. See Table 18-7 and Table 18-8.
