Hi!

I want to use the DMA driver for a UART -> SRAM transfer. When the stansfer finished i will to generate a IRQ (using the DMA registers). I register the dma irq with the function (I use EIC and DMA_IRQ has the highest priority):

alt_ic_isr_register( DMA_IRQ_INTERRUPT_CONTROLLER_ID,

DMA_IRQ,

DMA_isr,

DMA_BASE,

NULL);

The transfer works (the lenght decrese), but when the DMA_isr is called the program crashed. Can you help me?! How can I register the DMA IRQ?

Thanks!
