Description from the Tegra TRM:

"The APB DMA Controller is placed between the AHB Bus and the APB Bus
and is a master on both buses.

The APB DMA Controller is used for block data transfers from a source
location to the destination location. The source may be
DRAM or IRAM, and the destination location could be devices placed on
APB Bus; or vice versa."

Cheers
Jon
