Pull Request Details 📖

Description

This PR adds support for PSRAM in DmaTxBuf allowing DMA transfers out from PSRAM.

Some observations:

  • it seems to only work with octal PSRAM
  • there seem to be some edge cases where
    • changing the CHUNK_SIZE makes it work or fail
    • changing the BUFFER_SIZE makes it work or fail

Testing

  • I added an example
  • I added a hardware test that passes

(and 100% fails on an esp32s3 with psram-2m)

Lovely, maybe it has something to do with the reduced bandwidth of QSPI vs OSPI?

Actually I think it was because one of my modules only has quad psram-2m and I had it configured for opsram-2m

example seems to work now

Thanks, provided that the tests pass, this looks good to me, too.

I mixed up the two enums. 🤷‍♂️ There likely should be only one, and we should convert it differently depending on the place of use.

return Err(DmaBufError::UnsupportedMemoryRegion);
}
// if its PSRAM, the block_size/alignment must be specified
if is_slice_in_psram(buffer) && block_size.is_none() {

I don't think we do any validation here, so in theory, could we simplify all this? Could we, instead of erroring if block_size is None, assume the strictest alignment requirement, and use that for our chunk size? If yes, do we even need manually specifying block_size? The difference between 4080 and 4032 byte chunks sounds mostly negligible to me.

Isn't this the validation? Oh you mean that we don't check that the buffer aligns to the block size? That's because it's TX, fair it could be skipped.

imo the user should be able to choose and the choice should be explicit. Using bigger block sizes has bandwidth consequences for PSRAM.

Would moving the psram support to a different type get out of your way?

This isn't exactly in my way, I was just wondering. But I missed the bandwidth part of the question so I'm fine with the rest :)
