Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC) Driver
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction
®
®
This driver for Atmel | SMART ARM -based microcontrollers provides an
interface for the configuration and management of the the Peripheral Direct

Module Overview
The user interface of each PDC channel is integrated into the user interface of the peripheral it serves.
The user interface of unidirectional channels (receive only or transmit only), contains two 32-bit memory
pointers and two 16-bit counters, one set (pointer, counter) for current transfer and one set (pointer,
counter) for next transfer. The bidirectional channel user interface contains four 32-bit memory pointers
and four 16-bit counters. Each set (pointer, counter) is used by current transmit, next transmit, current
receive and next receive. Using the PDC removes processor overhead by reducing its intervention during
the transfer. This significantly reduces the number of clock cycles required for a data transfer, which
improves microcontroller performance. To launch a transfer, the peripheral triggers its associated PDC
channels by using transmit and receive signals. When the programmed data is transferred, an end of
transfer interrupt is generated by the peripheral itself.

Peripheral DMA Controller Example
Quick Start Guide for PDC - Basic
This is the quickstart guide for SAM3A/3N/3S/3U/3X/4E/4N/4S/G Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC) Driver
with step-by-step instructions on how to configure and use the driver.
A handler is required for the interrupt, below is a simple example:
void console_uart_irq_handler(void)
{
/* Get UART status and check if PDC receive buffer is full */
if ((uart_get_status(CONSOLE_UART) & UART_SR_RXBUFF) ==
UART_SR_RXBUFF) {
/* Configure PDC for data transfer (RX and TX) */
pdc_rx_init(g_p_uart_pdc, &g_pdc_uart_packet, NULL);
pdc_tx_init(g_p_uart_pdc, &g_pdc_uart_packet, NULL);
}
}
First initialise the board:
sysclk_init();
board_init();
Now setup the PDC registers:
/* Get pointer to UART PDC register base */
g_p_uart_pdc = uart_get_pdc_base(CONSOLE_UART);
/* Initialize PDC data packet for transfer */
g_pdc_uart_packet.ul_addr = (uint32_t) g_uc_pdc_buffer;
g_pdc_uart_packet.ul_size = BUFFER_SIZE;
/* Configure PDC for data receive */
pdc_rx_init(g_p_uart_pdc, &g_pdc_uart_packet, NULL);
/* Enable PDC transfers */
pdc_enable_transfer(g_p_uart_pdc, PERIPH_PTCR_RXTEN | PERIPH_PTCR_TXTEN);
Enable UART IRQ:
uart_enable_interrupt(CONSOLE_UART, UART_IER_RXBUFF);
Enable UART interrupt
NVIC_EnableIRQ(CONSOLE_UART_IRQn);

Once the required number of bytes have been transferred, an interrupt is triggered and the handler will
run. The main program may execute other code or be busy-waiting:
while (1) {
}

Peripheral DMA Controller Example
9.2.1.
Purpose
The pdc_uart example demonstrates how to use PDC driver to receive/send data from/to the UART.
9.2.2.
Requirements
This example can be used on any SAM3/4 boards.
9.2.3.
Description
The SAM controller waits for BUFFER_SIZE data to receive from the UART. As soon as the expected
amount of data is received, the whole buffer is sent back to the terminal.
9.2.4.
Usage
1.
2.
3.
Build the program and download it into the evaluation board.
®
On the computer, open, and configure a terminal application (e.g., HyperTerminal on Microsoft
®
Windows ) with these settings:
•
115200 baud
•
8 bits of data
•
No parity
•
1 stop bit
•
No flow control
In the terminal window, the following text should appear (values depend on the board and chip
used):
-- PDC Uart Example xxx --- xxxxxx-xx
-- Compiled: xxx xx xxxx xx:xx:xx --
4.
The sent text should appear.
