Table 15–7 defines the DMA status registers. These registers are read only.
Table 15–8 describes the fields of the DMA write status register. All of these fields are
read only.
[30:28] MSI Traffic Class
When the RC application software reads the MSI capabilities of the endpoint, this
value is assigned by default to MSI traffic class 0. These register bits map to the IP
Compiler for PCI Express back-end signal app_msi_tc[2:0].
31 DT RC Last Sync
When 0, the DMA engine stops transfers when the last descriptor has been
executed. When 1, the DMA engine loops infinitely restarting with the first
descriptor when the last descriptor is completed. To stop the infinite loop, set this
bit to 0.

Bit Field Description
Table 15–7. Chaining DMA Status Register Definitions
Addr (2) Register Name 3124 2316 150
0x20 DMA Wr Status Hi For field definitions refer to Table 15–8
0x24 DMA Wr Status Lo
Target Mem Address
Width
Write DMA Performance Counter. (Clock cycles from
time DMA header programmed until last descriptor
completes, including time to fetch descriptors.)
0x28 DMA Rd Status Hi
For field definitions refer to Table 15–9
0x2C DMA Rd Status Lo Max No. of Tags
Read DMA Performance Counter. The number of clocks
from the time the DMA header is programmed until the
last descriptor completes, including the time to fetch
descriptors.
0x30 Error Status Reserved
Error Counter. Number of bad
ECRCs detected by the
application layer. Valid only
when ECRC forwarding is
enabled.
Note to Table 15–7 :
(1) This is the endpoint byte address offset from BAR2 or BAR3.
