Block Move Instructions

decremented by the number of bytes transferred. In
addition, the

DMA Next Address (DNAD)

register is

incremented by the number of bytes transferred. This
process is repeated until the

DMA Byte Counter (DBC)

register is decremented to zero. At this time, the
LSI53C825A fetches the next instruction.

If bit 28 is set, indicating table indirect addressing, this
field is not used. The byte count is instead fetched from
a table pointed to by the

Data Structure Address (DSA)

register.

5.3.2 Second Dword

Start Address

[31:0]

This 32-bit field specifies the starting address of the data
to move to/from memory. This field is copied to the

DMA

Next Address (DNAD)

register. When the LSI53C825A

transfers data to or from memory, the

DMA Next Address

(DNAD)

register is incremented by the number of bytes

transferred.

When bit 29 is set, indicating indirect addressing, this
address is a pointer to an address in memory that points
to the data location. When bit 28 is set, indicating table
indirect addressing, the value in this field is an offset into
a table pointed to by the

Data Structure Address (DSA)

.

The table entry contains byte count and address
information.
