2.3.9
The Configurable Serial Peripheral Interface (CSPI) is used for fast data communication with fewer
software interrupts. There are three CSPI modules in the i.MX27/MX27L processors, which provide a
full-duplex synchronous serial interface, capable of interfacing to the SPI master and slave devices. CSPI1
and CSPI2 are master/slave configurable and include three chip selects to support multiple peripherals.
CSPI3 is only a master and has one chip-select signal. The transfer continuation function of the CSPI
enables unlimited length data transfers using 32-bit wide by 8-entry FIFO for both TX and RX data DMA
support.
The CSPI Ready (SPI_RDY) and Chip Select (SS) control signals enable fast data communication with
fewer software interrupts. When the CSPI module is configured as a master, it uses a serial link to transfer
data between the CSPI and an external device. A chip-enable signal and a clock signal are used to transfer
data between these two devices. When the CSPI module is configured as a slave, the user can configure
the CSPI Control register to match the external SPI master’s timing.
2.3.10
The Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC) provides 16 channels to support linear memory, 2D
memory, FIFO, and end-of-burst enable FIFO transfers to support a wide variety of DMA operations.
Features include the following:
2.3.11
The enhanced MultiMedia Accelerator Light (eMMA_lt) consists of the video pre-processor (PrP) and
post-processor (PP). In contrast with i.MX21 processor’s components, this eMMA does not include the
video codec. A more powerful video codec is included as a separate module.
