STM32F746 GPIO to DMA memory

Hi to everyone,

I am quite new to STM32, i am starting a new project with it. STM32 seems to be very powerful. However am facing something difficulties and am not sure on what I am doing.

I am trying to implement the DMA to read quickly (at about 10Mgh) a port ( for example PORTC).

ie: GPIOC---- > DMA---> memory buffer.

Here is my code below:

1) setting up  portc

  __HAL_RCC_GPIOC_CLK_ENABLE();

  GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = GPIO_PIN_All;  GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_INPUT;  GPIO_InitStruct.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;  GPIO_InitStruct.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_HIGH;  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO_InitStruct);

2 )setting up the timer for trigerring DMA

    __HAL_RCC_TIM1_CLK_ENABLE();

    htim1.Instance = TIM1;    htim1.Init.Prescaler = 0x8000;    htim1.Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_UP;    htim1.Init.Period = 0x9000;    htim1.Init.ClockDivision = TIM_CLOCKDIVISION_DIV1;    htim1.Init.RepetitionCounter = 0;    HAL_TIM_Base_Init(&htim1);

3) Setting  DMA

  DmaHandle.Init.Channel = DMA_CHANNEL_0;                             / * DMA_CHANNEL_0                    */

  DmaHandle.Init.Direction = DMA_PERIPH_TO_MEMORY;          /* P2M transfer mode                */  DmaHandle.Init.PeriphInc = DMA_PINC_DISABLE;                      /* Peripheral increment mode Enable */  DmaHandle.Init.MemInc = DMA_PINC_ENABLE;                           /* Memory increment mode Enable     */  DmaHandle.Init.PeriphDataAlignment = DMA_PDATAALIGN_WORD; /* Peripheral data alignment : Word */  DmaHandle.Init.MemDataAlignment = DMA_MDATAALIGN_WORD;    /* memory data alignment : Word     */  DmaHandle.Init.Mode = DMA_CIRCULAR;                       /* Normal DMA mode                  */  DmaHandle.Init.Priority = DMA_PRIORITY_HIGH;              /* priority level : high            */  DmaHandle.Init.FIFOMode = DMA_FIFOMODE_DISABLE;           /* FIFO mode disabled               */  DmaHandle.Init.FIFOThreshold = DMA_FIFO_THRESHOLD_FULL;  DmaHandle.Init.MemBurst = DMA_MBURST_SINGLE;              /* Memory burst                     */  DmaHandle.Init.PeriphBurst = DMA_PBURST_SINGLE;           /* Peripheral burst                 */  /*##-3- Select the DMA instance to be used for the transfer : DMA2_Stream0 #*/  DmaHandle.Instance = DMA_INSTANCE;  /*##-4- Initialize the DMA stream ##########################################*/  if (HAL_DMA_Init(&DmaHandle) != HAL_OK)  {//    /* Initialization Error */    Error_Handler();  }  /*##-5- Select Callbacks functions called after Transfer complete and Transfer error */  HAL_DMA_RegisterCallback(&DmaHandle, HAL_DMA_XFER_CPLT_CB_ID, TransferComplete);  HAL_DMA_RegisterCallback(&DmaHandle, HAL_DMA_XFER_ERROR_CB_ID, TransferError);////  /*##-6- Configure NVIC for DMA transfer complete/error interrupts ##########*///  /* Set Interrupt Group Priority */  HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(DMA_INSTANCE_IRQ, 0, 0);////  /* Enable the DMA STREAM global Interrupt */  HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(DMA_INSTANCE_IRQ);4) linking dma module to timer isntance.  __HAL_LINKDMA(htim1, hdma,DmaHandle);

This part am not quite sure it does the job as the &htim1.hdma[0] from debugger doesn't show any value. ( I must the same as DmaHandle) doesn't it?

  if (HAL_DMA_Start_IT(&DmaHandle, (uint32_t)&GPIOC->IDR, (uint32_t)&aDST_Buffer, BUFFER_SIZE) != HAL_OK)

  {    /* Transfer Error */    Error_Handler();  };

5) Start Timer 1 for triggering

//   (Enable TIM for DMA events) */  __HAL_TIM_ENABLE_DMA(&htim1, 0);//   (Run TIM) */ __HAL_TIM_ENABLE(&htim1);

Does anyone has sone something similar? I have not been able to trigger the dma. The is no data in my output buffer.

Thanks in advance for anyone kind enough to have a look at my problem.
