DMA configuration for UART Rx

Hi,

I m using nucleo board STM32F103 and Keil Compiler.

I have configured UART and DMA(for UART Rx) using CubeMX.

But, While starting DMA using HAL_DMA_Start_IT function i m confused. following is the prototype of the function.

HAL_StatusTypeDef HAL_DMA_Start_IT(DMA_HandleTypeDef *hdma, uint32_t SrcAddress, uint32_t DstAddress, uint32_t DataLength)

SrcAddress : Here i think array where i can store the data

DstAddress : Which start address i should give? UART RX register or pointer from UART_HandleTypeDef.pRxBuffPtr structure.

For Rx, the ''source'' address would be the UART->DR (or RDR) register, and the ''destination'' the start address of you receive buffer.

For Tx, it would be the other way around.

Check the CubeMX documentation - if any. Sorry, I'm no Cube guy.

The reference manual for the F10x cores is another suggested read, the DMA resgisters are well-documented there.

Hi,

As mentionned in the

(13.2.8 HAL_DMA_Start_IT) :

SrcAddress is the source memory Buffer address

DstAddress is the destination memory Buffer address

You can have a look to

which provides information on how to use the STM32F1 and peripherals.

Also, refer to this manual

to have more idea about DMA configuration in STM32CubeMx.

Thanks AvaTar and forumstm32 for clearing my confusion.
