This means it has a DMA +engine to efficiently transfer large volumes of data between the card and main +memory without requiring help from a CPU. Like most hardware, it must operate +on contiguous physical memory. This is difficult to come by in large quantities +on virtual memory machines. + +Therefore, it also supports a technique called "scatter-gather". The card can +transfer multiple buffers in one operation. Instead of allocating one large +contiguous buffer, the driver can allocate several smaller buffers. + +In practice, I've seen the average transfer to be roughly 80K, but transfers +above 128K were not uncommon, particularly at startup. The 128K figure is +important, because that is the largest block that the kernel can normally +allocate. Even still, 128K blocks are hard to come by, so the driver writer is +urged to choose a smaller block size and learn the scatter-gather technique. + +Mailbox #10 is reserved for DMA transfer information. + +Flow +==== + +This section describes, in general, the order of events when handling DMA +transfers. Detailed information follows this section. + +- The card raises the Encoder interrupt. +- The driver reads the transfer type, offset and size from Mailbox #10. +- The driver constructs the scatter-gather array from enough free dma buffers + to cover the size. +- The driver schedules the DMA transfer via the ScheduleDMAtoHost API call. +- The card raises the DMA Complete interrupt. +- The driver checks the DMA status register for any errors. +- The driver post-processes the newly transferred buffers. + +NOTE!

Host +addresses are the physical memory location of the target DMA buffer. + +Each S-G array element is a struct of three 32-bit words. The first word is +the source address, the second is the destination address. Both take up the +entire 32 bits. The lowest 16 bits of the third word is the transfer byte +count. The high-bit of the third word is the "last" flag. The last-flag tells +the card to raise the DMA_DONE interrupt. From hard personal experience, if +you forget to set this bit, the card will still "work" but the stream will +most likely get corrupted. + +The transfer count must be a multiple of 256.
