Signals the occurrence of an event or interrupt, using the specified event number.

Causes the CPU to issue a DMASEV instruction using the DMA APB slave interface.

The Interrupt Enable Register (INTEN) register is used to control if each event-interrupt resource is either an event or an interrupt. The INTEN register sets the event-interrupt resource to function as an:

  • Event - The DMAC generates an event for the specified event-interrupt resource. When the DMAC executes a DMAWFE instruction for the same event-interrupt resource then it clears the event.
  • Interrupt - The DMAC sets the IRQ[N] signal high, where evt_num is the number of the specified event resource. The interrupt must be cleared after being handled.

When the configured to generate an event, this function may be used to restart one or more waiting DMA channels (i.e. having executed a DMAWFE instruction).

See the following sections from the ARM DDI 0424C, CoreLink DMA Controller DMA-330 Technical Reference Manual for implementation details and use cases:

  • 2.5.1, Issuing Instructions to the DMAC using a Slave Interface
  • 2.7, Using Events and Interrupts
