Is there any info on DMA whatsoever? I couldn't find any and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it on the esp8266

In the ESP8266_Specifications_English.pdf it refers "Scattered DMA for optimal CPU off load on Zero Copy data transfer operations".
Is there any info...? Or some help where to start?

Based on what i've seen so far, I'm certain they're using AHB (AMBA) to connect the LX106 cpu core to all the peripherals. Don't forget this is a SoC, which is a bunch of individual component blocks connected together on a die.

If you can find a copy of ESP8266_Pin_List_141105.xlsx, it has a lot of the internal pin connections listed. Doubt it'll be of any help though. You really need specific details of how its all routed internally to get DMA working, until Espressif release any details.
