Is caching using DMA while the bitmap is caching in Touchgfx?

No, DMA isn't a storage space (of any significant size), so it's not using that.

Looks like it's using SDRAM in this example. Probably uses whatever memory you have set up.

You mean the data/instruction cache on AXI in 'F7?

It reads/writes portions of memory autonomously, but it's not the same as what the DMA units do. These reads/writes are completely transparent to the user, no need to configure/start them.

I'm actually asking what is used when caching the bitmap.

In Touchgfx, I want a bitmap to cache. How does caching read the bitmap and write?

Are you talking about a dynamic bitmap? Your question is not very clear.
