Howto setup continuous DMA transfers? #143

Open dayanola opened 2 years ago

dayanola commented 2 years ago

I would like my application to setup non-stop continuous DMA transfers until the user hits "CTRL-C" Target is to capture data all the time and run for a unknown period of time. Since the time the application should run is unknown, break the DMA transfers to managable chunks of 1 MB That is:

  1. setup 2 DMA transfers of 1 MB
  2. once the first DMA transfer is completed , setup a third transfer of 1 MB
  3. Keep submitting a new request on completion callback

System setup:

  1. 2 RX DMA channels from FPGA to APU
  2. oneway DMA transfers work on both AXI DMA channels.

How would I setup onway transfers to achieve this?

If I don't miss your question, you can create a thread to do a while loop of oneway transfer. notice: if you set the last flag of the RX oneway transfer API: True, you would never need the callback function
