Use DMASTS to check the status of the channels individually. The DMA sets bits in this register
to indicate that a channel has a hardware request pending or that a channel’s byte count has ex-
pired.

7–6 — Reserved. These bits are undefined.
5 R1 Request 1:
When set, this bit indicates that channel 1 has a hardware request
pending. When the request is removed, this bit is cleared.
4 R0 Request 0:
When set, this bit indicates that channel 0 has a hardware request
pending. When the request is removed, this bit is cleared.
3–2 — Reserved. These bits are undefined.
1 TC1 Transfer Complete 1:
When set, this bit indicates that channel 1 has completed a buffer
transfer (either its byte count expired or it received an EOP# input).
Reading this register clears this bit and clears TC1 in DMAIS.
0 TC0 Transfer Complete 0:
When set, this bit indicates that channel 0 has completed a buffer
transfer (either its byte count expired or it received an EOP# input).
Reading this register clears this bit and clears TC0 in DMAIS.
