In the most simple computer system architecture, all control lies with the CPU (Central Processing Unit). This means not only the execution of commands that affect the CPU’s internal register or cache ...

Direct memory access (DMA) is a means of having a peripheral device control a processor’s memory bus directly. DMA permits the peripheral, such as a UART, to transfer data directly to or from memory ...

Last time, in Part 1, we introduced somebasics behind Direct Memory Access (DMA) -why it's needed, and how it's structured and controlled. This time,we'll focus on the classifications of DMA transfers ...

More storage, now. And make it faster! The explosion of data gathering in today’s online business environment means that your storage requirements keep going up, and the amount of data that you need ...

Thought your SATA SSD chugged along real nice? Think again. Fusion-io has just released an SDK that will allow developers to bypass all the speed draining bottlenecks that rob NAND memory of its true ...

If you often allow others to access your computer as the remote computer and you want to allow direct access to removable storage in remote sessions on Windows 11/10, this post will help you do that.

This document describes how to set up the DMA (Direct Memory Access) and also gives an outline of the operation and describes the procedures for using a sample program. The features of the operation ...

Here’s the thing about coding. When you’re working on embedded projects, it’s quite easy to run into hardware limitations, and quite suddenly, too. You find yourself desperately trying to find a way ...

This application note presents the Direct Memory Access (DMA) control, its basic set-up and operations. The document includes the usage examples of the DMA controller and the DMA Trigger Factor ...

Transferring large blocks of data within memory as well as to and from peripherals. Direct memory access (DMA) avoids loading the CPU's register with small amounts of data from memory and storing them ...
