+<p>The following diagram shows the main parts of the architecture: </p>
+<fig id="GUID-E25AE30D-8EC9-530F-BD3C-FF4D6E5B9049">
+<image href="GUID-AC7830F9-C3FB-5117-B851-1D106AE400D4_d0e10568_href.png" placement="inline"/>
+</fig>
+<p>The DMA Framework is implemented as a single DLL, which is split into two
+layers: </p>
+<ul>
+<li id="GUID-FE402AA7-2E91-56F2-9424-7ADCB30E5D43"><p>a platform independent
+layer that implements the behaviour that is common to all hardware </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-3EB73B07-D1BF-5D05-957D-6DB8A3F3D4F2"><p>a platform specific
+layer that implements the behaviour that is specific to a particular platform. </p> </li>
+</ul>
+<p>The DLL is called <filepath>dma.dll</filepath>, and is implemented as a
+kernel extension, which means that it is loaded very early during system initialisation. </p>
+<p>The platform specific layer interfaces to the DMA controller hardware via
+the I/O port constants and functions exposed by the ASSP DLL and/or Variant
+DLL. </p>
+<p>The clients of the DMA Framework are physical device drivers (PDD). </p>
