One of the DMAs introduced with AM64 is the Block Copy DMA (BCDMA). It serves similar purpose as K3 UDMAP channels in TR mode. The rings for the BCDMA is integrated within the DMA itself instead of using rings from the general purpose ringacc. A BCDMA have two different type of channels: - Block Copy Channels (bchan) - Split Channels (tchan and rchan) tchan and rchan can be used to service PSI-L peripherals, similarly to K3 UDMA channels. bchan can be only used for block copy operation (TR type15) like the paired K3 UDMA tchan/rchan configured in block copy mode. bchans can be also used to service peripherals directly if an external trigger is selected for the channel. Most of the driver code can be reused for BCDMA bchan/tchan/rchan support but new setup and allocation functions are needed to handle the differences between the DMAs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
