      Note: * = Maximum 512 channels per Function
  • Per Descriptor completion notification with MSI-X or Writebacks
  • Architectural support for 'Head-of-line' blocking prevention for 4 Avalon-ST ports
  • Option to select Avalon-MM or Avalon-ST DMA for user logic interface
  • Alternate option to enable 4 Avalon-ST DMA ports with 1 DMA channel per port
  • SR-IOV
    Note: SRIOV is only enabled when a single port configuration (AVMM and AVST 1 Port) is enabled in the Multi Channel DMA IP
  • User MSI-X
    Note: MSI is currently not supported
  • FLR
    Note: User MSI-X and FLR are supported only when Multi Channel DMA mode is enabled.
