STM32F207 Uni Directional SPI - Rx using DMA

Posted on March 07, 2017 at 01:30

Hi Everyone,

my set-up is an STM32F205 transmitting fixed length data ( < 64 bytes ) periodically to an STM32F207 via SPI. I am only interested in receiving data, nothing is sent on the 207's MISO line.

The 207 receives data Ok when using spi interrupts, but doesn't when using DMA. 

The DMA transfer complete interrupt fires (TCIF flag = 1, and I see HTIF = 1 that gives some confidence DMA is seeing something),  but data never appears in the memory buffer.

It is so close to working - there must be a bit I'm missing somewhere.  I've spent the last few days googling SPI configurations and reading the STM ref manual and I can't see why this shouldn't work!

Any ideas?

NB I haven't included the interrupt handler as it is just an empty function, but am breaking on it in the debugger to read registers etc.

Clive,

thanks for your comments. Points about providing all code and using explicit defines noted.

The DMA IRQ does fire, but when it does there is no apparent data in DMAbufferRx (all zeros).

I reverted to no-DMA-SPI-with-interrupt-on-RXNE and received only zeros, so suspected the SPI direction config.

Must have had brain fade because I'd changed SPI_Direction_2Lines_FullDuplex to SPI_Direction_1Line_Rx. This doesn't mean 'Rx only on one line' as I thought, it means 1-line bidirectional mode! As an SPI slave in 1-line configuration uses the MISO pin, that explains the zeros read on the MOSI pin. The fix is change back to SPI_Direction_2Lines_FullDuplex; SPI_Direction_2Lines_RxOnly also works.

Can we please, please, please post sufficiently complete code. If you use defines, provide them ALL. Ideally it should compile. If you spend days on something, take the defines out, so the use case is explicit and not abstracted.

SPIipc_Clk_Init(SPIipc_Clk, ENABLE); // SPI2  Double check APB being used

The DMA IRQ not firing is odd. Make sure it is asserting the right TCIF3 bit. If the DMA is not generating an interrupt it is likely not working, which would explain the lack of data.

For the Slave data needs to be present on the MOSI pin

Can't say I've actively used Rx DMA in Slave SPI

Tips, buy me a coffee, or three.. PayPal Venmo Up vote any posts that you find helpful, it shows what's working..
