Hello everyone,
I am using AXI DMA (v7.1) IP in my design with vivado 2014.4. I am trying to transfer data from FPGA to DDR and I have my custom IP in the design which generates and sends stream data to DMA with 4 bytes in a data beat and DMA sends it on to MM DDR. I am using the DMA in simple DMA mode with only write channel enabled. I have a couple of problems.
(1) The s_axis_s2mm_tready of the DMA is going to zero after four beats of data and is not reasserting.
(2) The documentation on DMA IP says and I quote "In the absence of any setup (that is, before it is programmed to run), AXI DMA will pull the s_axis_s2mm_tready signal Low after taking in four beats of streaming data. This will throttle the input data stream. To have a minimum amount of throttling, ensure that the AXI DMA is set up to run much before the actual data arrives".
Well I am setting up my DMA operations using the following tcl script which is quite straight forward.
mwr 0x40400030 0
mwr 0x40400030 1 #Starting DMA operation
mwr 0x40400048 0x1ff00000 #destination address
mwr 0x43c00000 0xe #command to start my IP
mwr 0x40400058 1024 #Number of bytes to be written
I am tightly following the programming sequence given in the documentation for the IP. Please somebody suggest me a reason for this.
