You're not giving us much to work with. For example, what
is this "wrong result?"

There is a bit more to doing a DMA transfer than just
setting up the DMA registers.

o Does the transfer complete (without errors?) according
to the register interface?
o Are you expecting/receiving an interrupt?
o If the register interface indicates completion,
is the expected data incorrect?

Working with PCI can be ... interesting, and there are many
details that need to be correct. On top of that, processors
that operate with PCI buses can add a few layers of fun
themselves (e.g. interrupt controllers, virtual addresses
and caches.)

If you want help, you need to give details.

Oh, I am sorry.I did not say that clearly.

My driver can transfer data, and I can handle these data after I
received a DMA DONE interrupt.The data in the FIFO are like these:
0x00000001, 0x00000002, 0x00000003,...0x0001000.
In every FIFO interrupt , I should tranfser these data from FIFO to
another address.I can transfer correctly when I use memory copy.But
after I start the DMA, these transfered data would be like these:
0x00000001, 0x00040001, 0x0000001, 0x00040001,......
.
