Question

HAL_OSPI_Transmit_DMA not working for NbData > 0xFFFF .

Step to reproduce :

In cubeMX:

Select NucleoU575ZI.

Clean all pin

Set OCTOSPI to QSPI (see code below)

Configure GPDMA (see code below)

the "qspi_send_data(framebuffer_16bsize, sizeof(framebuffer_16bsize));" works perfectly as expected.

But the "qspi_send_data(bigger_framebuffer, sizeof(bigger_framebuffer))"; does not works and even stay in infinite loop with larger data.

The thing is : everywhere in hal doc and code the size is 32b and therefore should not be limited to 16b.

The DMA transfer counter register is 16-bit wide. It's a hardware limitation.

It doesn't have to count byte transfers. More data can go over in half-word or word forms.

For DMA units supporting double buffers there can be two separate or contiguous regions described.

Dear Tesla DeLorean,

Thanks for your answer, maybe ST should modify function prototype to 16b.

Going to word forms will allow me to send 4*0xffff datas = 262 140 which is not enough.. I need 368*448*2 B = 329728 B.

I am sorry I am not sure to understand your last point, is this could be a solution to my issue ?

Or I should try something else ?

Regards
