Trying to read 4 channels of ADC in scan continuous mode, the processor crashes

CLee.0
Associate III

I am using the STM32F303RE Nucleo, and STM32 CubeIDE. I have simple code that just sets up ADC1 in scan continuous mode, reading IN6, IN7, IN8, IN9 in single-ended, 12 bit size. I turned on the DMA for ADC1, using half word size, circular buffer.

What happens is as soon as the main while loop starts the processor crashes, meaning I cannot step through the code anymore, and the code is stuck in the HardFault_Handler function in the stm32fxx_it.c file.

Any suggestions welcome, this should be 101 for the CubeIDE. The main.c is included. Thanks for any ideas...

Just a guess, but why is length argument to HAL_ADC_Start_DMA 8, while buffer size is 3?

Good point! I had been using 3x ADC before, is why... I've made the fix but can't test it now because my Nucleo-F303RE has started not responding, with the error:

Error in initializing ST-LINK device.

Reason: (4) No device found on target

Don't suppose you've seen this? It was working just an hour ago.

(I posted about this one, but haven't heard anything)

Use the boot pin to restart the MCU ROM code instead of the buggy user one.

(I was able to get the Nucleo to be responsive again with the Boot0 pin - thanks)

I have sort of resolved the issue, but don't know why it is resolved: I had to change the ADC sample time to 181.5 cycles from 1.5 cycles. Does anybody know why that would help? The DMA that reads the ADC maybe is somehow challenged ...
