In this case, the DMAC re-programs the channel registers prior to the start of each buffer by
fetching the buffer descriptor for that buffer from system memory. This is known as an LLI
update.
DMAC buffer chaining is supported by using a Descriptor Pointer register (DMAC_DSCRx) that
stores the address in memory of the next buffer descriptor. Each buffer descriptor contains the
corresponding buffer descriptor (DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx,
DMAC_CTRLAx DMAC_CTRLBx).
To set up buffer chaining, a sequence of linked lists must be programmed in memory.
The DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx
registers are fetched from system memory on an LLI update. The updated content of the
DMAC_CTRLAx register is written back to memory on buffer completion.

chaining.
The Linked List multi-buffer transfer is initiated by programming DMAC_DSCRx with DSCRx(0)
(LLI(0) base address) different from zero. Other fields and registers are ignored and overwritten
when the descriptor is retrieved from memory.
The last transfer descriptor must be written to memory with its next descriptor address set to 0.
