Two DMA captures For one timer

I have a timer (Timer1) free running.

I have assigned two input captures.when I run this code: HAL_TIM_IC_Start_DMA(&htim1,TIM_CHANNEL_1,&buffer1,20); HAL_TIM_IC_Start_DMA(&htim1,TIM_CHANNEL_2,&buffer2,20);only ''buffer1'' gets updated and ''buffer2'' remains all zerosif I changed the order of the two lines only ''buffer2'' gets updated.does it mean I cannot assign two DMA for the same counter?

You'd need to review the Reference Manual for the specific chip in question, but my understanding of the functionality is that you should be able to use two different DMA.

I suspect this is a software limitation, it would take some time/resources to prove that.

I am using STM32f407 on Discovery board.

I have checked the HAL driver, it seems like it supports/configures the different DMA interrupts/requests for different channels!but the still it does not work!

What is the content of TIM1_DIER in those two cases?

One step back: to which channel/stream did you set the two DMAs? JW

I am using TIMER1

 channel 1 (DMA2 stream 1)and channel 2 DMA2 stream 2)

I am using TIMER1 channel 1 (DMA2 stream 1) and channel 2 DMA2 stream 2)

TIM1_CH1 -> DMA2 Stream 1 Channel 6TIM1_CH2 -> DMA2 Stream 2 Channel 6

Well, post the content of relevant registers of TIM1 (DIER, CCMR1, CCER) and DMA registers (registers of those two streams, plus the status register), then.
