What is the correct way to recover from an SPI error or a timeout?

[MSipo]

Lets say i call HAL_SPI_TransmitReceive_DMA() and then I get an error or I decide to timeout while waiting for SPI data. What is the correct way to recover from an SPI error or a timeout?

I use this code and it seems to work:

 // De-init SPI2
 HAL_SPI_DeInit(&hspi2);
 // Reset SPI2
 __HAL_RCC_SPI2_FORCE_RESET();
 __NOP();
 __NOP();
 __HAL_RCC_SPI2_RELEASE_RESET();
 __NOP();
 __NOP();
 // Reset DMA1
 __HAL_RCC_DMA1_FORCE_RESET();
 __NOP();
 __NOP();
 __HAL_RCC_DMA1_RELEASE_RESET();
 __NOP();
 __NOP();
 // Re-init DMA and SPI
 MX_DMA_Init();
 MX_SPI2_Init();

Which STM32?

Resetting SPI seems excessive to me, and resetting DMA even harmful if you have other peripherals using the same DMA too. Should be enough to disable/reenable SPI and correctly (following description in RM) stop/restart given DMA channel/stream.

You may need to reinitialize Cube state variables/structs, too. I don't use Cube.

This is for STM32L152RE.

I came up with this solution.

__disable_irq();
HAL_SPI_DeInit(&hspi2);
__HAL_RCC_SPI2_FORCE_RESET();
__NOP();
__NOP();
__HAL_RCC_SPI2_RELEASE_RESET();
__NOP();
__NOP();
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CCR = 0;
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CMAR = 0;
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CNDTR = 0;
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CPAR = 0;
 
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CCR = 0;
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CMAR = 0;
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CNDTR = 0;
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CPAR = 0;
MX_SPI2_Init();
__enable_irq();

I had to include a forced reset on the SPI after HAL_SPI_DeInit() for it to work or else the SPI data sent on the next transfer was out of sync. And also reset the DMA registers. But the DMA 1 reset I was able to skip.

There was a bug in the previous solution.

I had to move HAL_SPI_DeInit(&hspi2) after the SPI have been reset or else the MISO pin would be pulled low for a short while.

This is the correct way:

__disable_irq();
__HAL_RCC_SPI2_FORCE_RESET();
__NOP();
__NOP();
__HAL_RCC_SPI2_RELEASE_RESET();
__NOP();
__NOP();
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CCR = 0;
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CMAR = 0;
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CNDTR = 0;
hspi2.hdmarx->Instance->CPAR = 0;
 
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CCR = 0;
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CMAR = 0;
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CNDTR = 0;
hspi2.hdmatx->Instance->CPAR = 0;
HAL_SPI_DeInit(&hspi2); // Note: It shall be here
MX_SPI2_Init(); 
__enable_irq();
