This is a stripped down code example which runs on a C64xx:

    uint32_t startTransfer(const uint32_t* src, uint32_t* dest, uint32_t frames, uint32_t elements)
    {
 uint32_t options = EDMA_OPT_RMK(
     EDMA_OPT_PRI_MEDIUM, // priority, must be lower than FIFO DMA
     EDMA_OPT_ESIZE_32BIT, // set 32 Bit transfer siuze
     EDMA_OPT_2DS_YES,  // this is a 2D source
     EDMA_OPT_SUM_INC,  // increment source pointer
     EDMA_OPT_2DD_YES,  // this is a 2D destination
     EDMA_OPT_DUM_INC,  // increment destination pointer
     EDMA_OPT_TCINT_YES,  // enable transfer complete indication
     1,   // dma Number
     EDMA_OPT_TCCM_OF(0), // no 6 Bit transfer complete code
     EDMA_OPT_ATCINT_NO,  // disable alternate transfer complete intr.
     EDMA_OPT_ATCC_OF(0), // -- " --
     EDMA_OPT_PDTS_DISABLE, // disable peripheral device transfer for src
     EDMA_OPT_PDTD_DISABLE, // disable peripheral device transfer for dest
     EDMA_OPT_LINK_NO,  // no DMA chaining
     EDMA_OPT_FS_YES);  // set frame synchronisation
 // Start DMA transfer:
 EDMA_qdmaConfigArgs(options, (uint32_t)src, OR_HW(frames-1, elements),
       (uint32_t)dest, 0 /*FRMIDX|ELEIDX*/);

Don't ask me any more questions about it. A lot of documentation about DMA
can be found in TIs manuals.

You may want to try downloading the c6000 chip support library (CSL):

http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/sprc090.html

You can get the library itself as well as the API guide at the link 
above.  The DAT module will allow you to do a memory-to-memory transfer 
using the DMA.  DAT_copy is the function you'd use.

For a better understanding of the processor you may want to try it 
yourself by writing the appropriate code.  Using the EDMA reference 
guide you would need to first setup an entry in the Parameter RAM which 
lists things like src addr, dst addr, count, etc.  Once that's 
completely setup you can then kick off the transfer by writing to the 
corresponding bit of the event set register.

I believe there are also books out there that come with CDs full of 
various programming examples and labs for learning to program on these 
DSKs.  You may want to try one of those out if you're looking for some 
structured learning.

Good luck!

Hi all.
I am trying to use the edma channel of my c6713 dsk, in order to take
8-bit data, from a daughter card (address 0xA0000000) and store them in
the sdarm (address 0x80000000). 
Can anybody tells me what i have to do?
Which functions i have to use?
I have written a code based on the data sheets but unfortunately it
doesn't work at all.
I know that it is a simple problem but i am new in the world of DSP's and
i need help.
