3 Phase pwm dutycycle with DMA issue

Hello,

i am working on a school project regarding 3 phase motor control. I have a nucleo32 board with a stm32f410 device

The ideea is to generate a lookup table for the dutycycle values, and transfer them to the CCR1, CCR2 and CCR3  Timer1 registers

Each channel has complementary outputs (1P/1N    2P/2N  3P/3N) and some little deadtime

Right now i am facing some dificulties when configuring the DMA to update these registers corectly,  so i started from a ST timer example, and ending my code in this manner.

The desired output on each channel should be 10, 35, 70% dutycycle, but its not.... 

Right now i have random values on the 3 channels.

I am incrementing incorectly the CCRx registers adresses? What could be the issue

#define TIM1_CCR1_ADDRESS    0x40010034 //duty cycle register address of channel 1

uint16_t aSRC_Buffer[3] = {0, 0, 0};  // defined a 3 values buffer

/* PWM MOTOR OUTPUTS

PA8 - Channel 1P

PA7 - Channel 1N

PA9 - Channel 2P

PB0 - Channel 2N

PA10 - Channel 3P

PB1 - Channel 3N

CCR1, CCR2 and CCR3 are not contiguous 16-bit numbers, but could be treated as an array of 32-bit numbers. All the duties in your image appear to be around 10%, 35% or 70%, on the wrong channels, but not garbage. Not sure why you are triggering DMA on CCRx either. I think you need to read Page 332 of Reference Manual RM0401.

I recently wrote a driver for an WS2812 LED strip. The data interface is curious: it's basically continuously varying PWM, (but with the duty cycle being one of only two values, representing 0s and 1s in the data). I created a lookup table of the all the necessary duty cycles, and used PWM with DMA to copy the next duty cycle on every timer update (TIM1_UP). I haven't tried it, but suspect that the reference I mentioned helps explain how to set this up for three channels.
