STM32F103 How do I DMA Transfer Memory to GPIO with external Clock

Hey all,

I am trying to transfer Memory from an STM32F103 to another Processor by GPIO over an 8 Bit Bus. I am working with CubeMX HAL Library and trying to set up the transfer so, that it is putting data on GPIO when an external clock is supplied. I am failing to set up the Timer to trigger a DMA request. Does anyone have an example that shows the setup code of what I am trying to achieve?

I can do manually triggered DMA Transfers on every Timer Interrupt, but the overhead of manually triggering is too big.

Thanks

Hello,

I've done something similar on STM32F401: a timer update event triggers a DMA transaction from a buffer in memory to a GPIO port.

Should be fairly easy to adapt it to your use case.

Hope it helps.

David

Thank you! This helped me understand how to set up the DMA part.

Now I am trying to figure out how to trigger the timer, namely TIM4, from an external source.

If you find any difficulty in configuring the timers I'd suggest to give a read to this interesting application note
