How to read GPIO data [8-bit of Port D] uisng DMA1 of STM32F429 MCU ?

[Rajesh1]

We have configured TIM2 Channel 1 to capture rising edge on PA0 pin.

We have enabled DMA1 Stream5 to read data on Port D and copy to local array.

The callback function for DMA1 is not triggered.

Please let us know, if we are missing any configuration.

Note: We are using STM32CubeIDE version 1.5.1 for our project.

Try using DMA2 and a TIM on APB2

[Rajesh1]

HI Tesla,

We have tried with TIM8 using DMA2 Stream4.

Still no progress.

What do you mean by "no progress"?

Read out and check/post content of TIM and DMA (and perhaps GPIO) registers' content.

Hi JW,

We have initialized timer and registered callback for DMA with below calls.

 HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT(&htim8);

 HAL_TIM_IC_Start_IT(&htim8, TIM_CHANNEL_3);

 HAL_DMA_RegisterCallback(&hdma_tim8_ch3, HAL_DMA_XFER_CPLT_CB_ID, Transfer_Complete);

HAL_DMA_Start_IT(&hdma_tim8_ch3, GPIOD->IDR, (uint32_t)DMA_Data_Ptr, 1);

We have initiated DMA transfer using below call in input capture callback function

void HAL_TIM_IC_CaptureCallback(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim)

{

Input_Capture++;

}

The DMA callback function is not invoked. No data received in *DMA_Data_Ptr.

static void Transfer_Complete(DMA_HandleTypeDef *DmaHandle)

{

printf("/n/rDMA Transfer Complete . . .");

}

Hi Rajesh,

I don't use Cube.

> Input_Capture++;

How does that initiate DMA transfer?

Read out and check/post content of TIM and DMA (and perhaps GPIO) registers' content.

HI JW,

DMA transfer is initiated by below call at initialization.

HAL_DMA_Start_IT(&hdma_tim8_ch3, GPIOD->IDR, (uint32_t)DMA_Data_Ptr, 1);

DMA data is processed in main() function.

main ()

{

.

.

.

if (Input_Capture)

printf("DMA data : %d",DMA_Data_Ptr);

}

DMA transfer is initiated after input captured using TIM8 Channel3. The transferred data is stored in DMA_Data_Ptr.

In main() function DMA_Data_Ptr data is sent to serial port.

You'll need the address of the IDR for starters, and might need the read to be 32-bit wide. If transfers don't occur check for error status on the DMA side.​

[waclawek.jan]

> address of the IDR

i.e. &GPIOD->IDR (maybe suitably cast, if the functions asks for it).

Nice catch.

Similarly with DMA_Data_Ptr, as it doesn't appear to be an array.

HI JW,

We have initialized TIM8 Channel 3 in STM32Cube IDE. Please find the captued intialization below.

DMA transfer is initiated in Timer callback function as below.

void HAL_TIM_IC_CaptureCallback(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim)

{

 if (htim->Instance == TIM8)

 {

  Status = HAL_DMA_Start_IT(&hdma_tim8_ch3, (uint32_t)&GPIOD->IDR, (uint32_t)&DMA_Data[Data_Cnt++], 1);

  Timer_Cnt = 0;

 }

}

While debugging Status of DMA transfer is showing as DMA busy. What could be the reasons for DMA busy status?

Can you suggest the initialization sequence to use DMA
