SGDMA in loop-mode

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all! 

I know that there are allready a lot of SGDMA-Threads posted in the forum, but it seems that I have a special problem regarding this IP.  I like to use SGDMA in loop-mode, meaning that I have four descriptor-chains jumping from one to another and starting again with the first descriptor after the fourth by setting the PARK-bit.  Everything works fine when I tell the SGDMA the exact amount of data to be transfered (Stream to Memory), but if I tell the SGDMA that every transfer should last until EOP is received, by setting length_or_eop to zero, the "TERMINATED_BY_EOP" error-bit is on in the descriptor status-byte after every transfer.   Maybe Socrates had a similar Problem, when he posted that an error-bit got up, when he wanted to use the loop-mode, in the very interesting thread titled "SGDMA debug".  So, does anybody know if this is a general problem of the SGDMA-core? Or is there anything else I could do?  Thank you in advance for your help!

O.K., I found another mistake in my Code which prompted the SGDMA to hang. 

 It seems that it is normal, that the "TERMINATED_BY_EOP" error-bit is on after every transfer, when using the SGDMA transfering until EOP.  It also seems that the error-bit has no effect on the DMA-process itself and can be ignored in this case.
