+<section id="GUID-8F209D96-3E1E-4C9C-BB60-B38082126242"><title>The
+interface</title><p>In order to use the DMA platform service, the
+following information is required:</p><ul>
+<li><p>The location of the data source.</p></li>
+<li><p>The location of the data destination.</p></li>
+<li><p>The channel to be used.</p></li>
+<li><p>The amount of data to be transferred.</p></li>
+<li><p>How much data is to be transferred at once (packet size).</p></li>
+<li><p>Synchronization setup</p></li>
+<li><p>Interrupt settings</p></li>
+</ul><p>How the above settings relate to the operation of the DMA
+is shown in the diagram below:</p><fig id="GUID-3B24E56D-A82D-411C-B3AF-BB5556B4BD1A">

+</fig><p>The settings listed above will now be discussed in more detail.</p><p><b>Location of the data source</b></p><p>This specifies where
+data is to be transferred from (the source). This can be one of the
+following:</p><ul>
+<li><p>Memory</p></li>
+<li><p>Peripheral</p></li>
+</ul><p>If the source location is a peripheral, then its port will
+have to be specified along with the location of the data source.</p><p><b>Location of the data destination</b></p><p>This specifies the
+final location of the data to be transferred (the destination). As
+with the location of the data source, this can be one of the following:</p><ul>
+<li><p>Memory</p></li>
+<li><p>Peripheral</p></li>
+</ul><p>If the destination is to be a peripheral, then the port configuration
+will have to be specified along with the location of the destination.</p><p><b>Channel</b></p><p>The DMA platform service transfers data over
+channels which are configured independently. The priority order of
+the each channel is specified in the DMA platform service API.</p><p><b>Amount of data to be transferred</b></p><p>This setting specifies
+the amount of data that is to be transferred from the source to the
+destination.</p><p><b>Data packet size</b></p><p>Data is transferred
+in packets of a specified size. The acceptable values are:</p><ul>
+<li><p>4 bytes</p></li>
+<li><p>8 bytes</p></li>
+<li><p>16 bytes</p></li>
+<li><p>32 bytes</p></li>
+<li><p>64 bytes</p></li>
+<li><p>128 bytes</p></li>
+</ul><p><b>Synchronization settings</b></p><p>These specify how the
+transfer between the source and destination is to be controlled. This
+is used when either the source or the destination can only take part
+in a data transfer depending on external events. The synchronization
+can be set up to be one of the following:</p><ul>
+<li><p>No synchronized transfer</p></li>
+<li><p>Synchronize the transfer after a preset number of bytes</p></li>
+</ul><p><b>Interrupt settings</b></p><p>These are used to specify
+how the DMA and/or specific channels should react to interrupt events.</p></section>
