Solution

The CPU initializes the DMA Controller by sending the memory address and the block size (number of words). Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The CPU sends a request to the DMA (Direct Memory Access) Controller to write or read data.

  2. The CPU then sends the memory address where the data is to be written or read from.

  3. The CPU also sends the block size, which is the number of words to be written or read.

  4. The DMA Controller then takes over from the CPU to handle the data transfer.

  5. Once the data transfer is complete, the DMA Controller sends an interrupt to the CPU. This lets the CPU know
