When source data width/burst and destination data width/burst are different, data are packed or unpacked in DMA3 channel FIFO, using CxTR1.PAM. Data are pushed out from DMA3 channel FIFO when the destination burst length (= data width * burst) is reached. If the transfer is stopped before CxBR1.BNDT = 0, and if some bytes are packed/unpacked in the DMA3 channel FIFO, these bytes are lost. Indeed, DMA3 channel FIFO has no flush capability, only reset. To avoid potential bytes lost, pack/unpack must be prevented by setting memory data width/burst equal to peripheral data width/burst. Memory accesses will be penalized. But it is the only way to avoid bytes lost. Prevent pack/unpack feature can be activated by setting bit 16 of DMA3 Transfer requirements bitfield (tr_conf) in device tree.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
