Huh, so DMA controllers do a lot more than I thought they did. A question though: don't we need a "jump if zero" or similar in order to be Turing complete? I see a loop instruction but nothing that could be considered an "if"... https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0424/d/instructio...

The article has a clear paragraph explaining how they do conditional jumps?

Ah. Gotcha. Sorry, my brain cleared between reading the article and the arm documentation.
