DMA_EXAMPLE demo

DMA_EXAMPLE is a standard example that sends a sinewave on Tx channels using DMA from a lookup table. If you physically loopback a Tx channel to an Rx channel via an electrical wire, you may run the DMA_EXAMPLE and read the received data at Rx from particular memory address.

To build the DMA_EXAMPLE demo, edit the Makefile and add -DDMA_EXAMPLE to CFLAGS and rebuild. Alternatively, you may simply add a #define DMA_EXAMPLE in a suitable place in code and rebuild.

To run the DMA_EXAMPLE, you simply need to run the application as usual by:

making sure it was built with the DMA_EXAMPLE flag, as already mentioned
monitoring the serial terminal for messages printed by the application

The application will eventually print something like this:

DMA_EXAMPLE: address=0x7f170 samples=65536 channels=4 bits=16

This means that the memory address where the data at Rx is stored is 0x7f170, there are in total 65536 samples, 16-bit wide across 4 channels, which is equivalent to 16384, 16-bit samples per channel.

At this point you may use a Tcl script to retrieve data from memory and store it into .csv files for processing:
