Linux drivers and DMA usage

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hello all,

I am currently using the OMAP-L138 Devel Kit to experiment with these drivers: VPIF, MMC/SD, GLCD.

I found lots of good stuff here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DaVinci_PSP_03.20.00.12_Device_Driver_Features_and_Performance_Guide#Driver_Features_7

How does an application use the DMA features on these drivers? As an example, the MMC/SD device driver is a block device that supports open(), close(), read(), write(). But how do I actually configure the driver to use DMA?

 

Thank you.
