Abstract
A method for controlling an execution of a first DMA task, the method includes comprises monitoring an execution of the first DMA task, the method characterized by including defining a first DMA task execution interval and a first DMA task execution sub-interval; and performing a first possible timing violation responsive operation if the first DMA task was not completed during the first DMA task execution sub-interval. A device having a first DMA task controlling capabilities, the device includes a memory unit; characterized by including a DMA controller that is adapted to monitor an execution of the first DMA task that involves an access to the memory unit, and to perform a first possible timing violation responsive operation if the first DMA task was not completed during a first DMA task execution sub-interval.
