Description

Specifies the DMA memcpy table added by #874. It has one row per eight copied bytes (one on the tail), rows chained over a new DMA_NEXT bus, ECALL number -3. Adds the ADDNW template (ADD without wraparound) used for the address updates, and lists -3 in the ECALL overview.

Two deliberate deviations from #874's Rust:

  • ADDNW conditions the whole addition on cond, whereas emit_add_pair_no_overflow keeps the low-limb carry boolean unconditionally. The spec is the more permissive of the two, so it still covers the code.
  • 31 columns rather than 32: the spec models timestamp as a Word, as every other chapter does.
