Block transfers

First, a word is always 32 bits. Second, the block transfer specified in REG_NDMACNT is the smallest atom of data that will be transferred in a burst. The bus is monopolized until this block is transferred, without splitting up.

The next block transfer will happen after the specified time in the REG_NDMABCNT interval timer, until done.

Immediate mode

Transfers the words specified in REG_NDMAWCNT immediately following block transfer rules. REG_NDMATCNT and repeating mode are ignored.

Repeating mode

Transfers the words specified in REG_NDMAWCNT following the startup mode event. REG_DMATCNT is ignored.

No immediate and no repeating mode

Transfers the words specified in REG_NDMAWCNT for each startup event, and gets disabled when the total number of words in REG_NDMATCNT are transferred.
