ESP32 I2S DMA Settings - dma_buf_len and dma_buf_count Explained In this blog post, we delve deep into the intriguing concepts of I2S audio and DMA, particularly focusing on parameters like dma_buf_count and dma_buf_len. We explore their roles, ideal values, and the impacts they have on aspects such as CPU load and latency. We also discuss the limitations that come hand in hand with these parameters. This post aims to provide you some insights on trading-off between latency, CPU load, memory usage and the overall buffer space allocation. However, the primary takeaway remains that the optimal configurations largely depend on individual context and application needs. 20 April 2021
