Hi:
In the uDMA Demo from TI, a ping-pong approach is used for receiving data (see the code below). The receiving variable, The g_ui8RxBufA, is currently set to 256 bytes. My question is that when UDMA_MODE_STOP is set at the interrupt handler, how do we know the actual received bytes when the remote end is sending less than 256 bytes of data?

//
// Check the DMA control table to see if the ping-pong "A" transfer is
// complete. The "A" transfer uses receive buffer "A", and the primary
// control structure.
//
ui32Mode = ROM_uDMAChannelModeGet(UDMA_CHANNEL_UART1RX | UDMA_PRI_SELECT);
//
// If the primary control structure indicates stop, that means the "A"
// receive buffer is done. The uDMA controller should still be receiving
// data into the "B" buffer.
//
if(ui32Mode == UDMA_MODE_STOP)
{
//
// Increment a counter to indicate data was received into buffer A. In
// a real application this would be used to signal the main thread that
// data was received so the main thread can process the data.
//
g_ui32RxBufACount++;
//
// Set up the next transfer for the "A" buffer, using the primary
// control structure. When the ongoing receive into the "B" buffer is
// done, the uDMA controller will switch back to this one. This
// example re-uses buffer A, but a more sophisticated application could
// use a rotating set of buffers to increase the amount of time that
// the main thread has to process the data in the buffer before it is
// reused.
//
ROM_uDMAChannelTransferSet(UDMA_CHANNEL_UART1RX | UDMA_PRI_SELECT,
UDMA_MODE_PINGPONG,
(void *)(UART1_BASE + UART_O_DR),
g_ui8RxBufA, sizeof(g_ui8RxBufA));
}
