This is typically only supported if the hardware has a progress register of some sort (E.g. a register with the current read/write address or a register with the amount of bursts/beats/bytes that have been transferred or still need to be transferred). What is the dma brust size in this platform? Do this mean that the period size of your omap3 is multiple of dma brust size? Do this imply those starttheshold, hwbuf_unused,... need to be multiple of dma brust size? Do the dynamic latency range are just only finite points instead of continuous? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
