<concept id="GUID-8552E66E-73D6-51DA-8F53-DDF437186CD6" xml:lang="en"><title>Validation</title><shortdesc>Describes the DMA test code to validate the port of DMA framework.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>The same set of source code is used to build two different DMA test harnesses: </p>
<ol id="GUID-57C2BE90-6771-5C69-804F-CC08AEB43E88">
<li id="GUID-778D3856-4605-5156-826F-9B4FCEC296CE"><p>It builds: <filepath>T_DMASIM.EXE</filepath>, <filepath>D_DMASIM.LDD</filepath>,
and <filepath>DMASIM.DLL</filepath>. This is a software-simulated implementation
of DMA. This harness is used mainly for debugging and validating the PIL (platform-independent
layer) as it simulates every kind of DMA controller. The DMA simulator and
associated PSL (platform-specific layer) is in <filepath>...\e32test\dma\dmasim.cpp</filepath>. </p> </li>
<li id="GUID-69027EF2-66D9-56C3-B63C-269D729382D5"><p>It builds: <filepath>T_DMA.EXE</filepath>, <filepath>D_DMA.LDD</filepath>.
The source code for building these executables is in <filepath>...\e32test\dma\t_dma.cpp</filepath> and <filepath>...\e32test\dma\d_dma.cpp</filepath> respectively </p> </li>
</ol>
<p> <filepath>T_DMA.EXE</filepath> is a user-side harness, and is an automatic
test included in the E32TEST suite. It assumes that the underlying DMA controller
supports memory to memory transfers. This executable delegates most of the
work to D_DMA.LDD (built from base\e32test\dma\d_dma.cpp), a logical device
driver that acts as a client for the DMA Framework. D_DMA.LDD links statically
against DMA.DLL, the DMA Framework kernel extension and as such must be built
from the variant. </p>
<p> <filepath>T_DMA.EXE</filepath> delegates most of the work to <filepath>D_DMA.LDD</filepath>,
which is a logical device driver that acts as a client for the DMA Framework. <filepath>D_DMA.LDD</filepath> links
statically against <filepath>DMA.DLL</filepath>, the DMA Framework kernel
extension, and as such must be built from the variant. In practice, this means
that <filepath>D_DMA.LDD</filepath> must be specified in the test <filepath>bld.inf</filepath> for
the variant being ported. See <filepath>...\template_variant\test\bld.inf</filepath> for
an example. </p>
<p> <filepath>D_DMA.LDD</filepath> calls the <codeph>DmaTestInfo()</codeph> function
in the PSL to discover the capacities of the PSL: number of channels, maximum
transfer size, etc. This is the template implementation: </p>
