The camera core module interfaces with a DMA controller. At the system level, the advantage is to discharge the CPU of the data transfers.
The module can generate a DMA request when the FIFO reaches the threshold programmed into CC_CTRL_DMA.FIFO_THRESHOLD.
The deassertion of the DMA request occurs when a number of 32-bit words equal to the FIFO threshold are read by the DMA controller.
Figure 14-8 shows the DMA assertion and deassertion, assuming a FIFO threshold of 8, plus some remaining data to end the frame acquisition.
