Hi
I am a bit confused by the relation between a DMA controller and device -
(let's say NIC) support of DMA.
My questions are -
1. Is it possible to perform DMA operation on a system without any central
DMA controller?
2. How are different DMA channels distributed among different devices?
3. When we program DMA for a device, we program the registers on the device
or on the DMA controller?
Thanks,
- Meraj
