Problem with STM32H747 HS USB DMA.

Hello together,

after a lot of trouble getting the USB HS port working on the STM32H747 on the STM32H747I-DISCO Discovery kit I’m stuck again. I’m using STM Cube IDE 1.7 and the HAL USB CDC lib.

I was able to get USB CDC working on the M4 thanks to https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W000002diUsSAI/stm32cubemx-h7x5h7x7-usb-cdc-bug

On the M7 core it kind of worked out of the box. But when I want to use it with the USB interal DMA enabled it didn’t work at all.

I already figured out I have to disable the D-cache and not use the DTCM SRAM for the buffer: https://community.st.com/s/article/how-to-enable-dma-in-usb-with-stm32h7-devices

I provided a minimal example of code which already results in failure:

  ...
 
  MX_GPIO_Init();
  MX_USB_DEVICE_Init();
 
  HAL_Delay(1000);
 
  uint8_t buffer1[2000], buffer2[2000];
 
  CDC_Transmit_HS(buffer1, 1468);
  HAL_Delay(50);
  CDC_Transmit_HS(buffer2, 4);
 
  while (1)
  {
    /* USER CODE END WHILE */
 
    /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
  }

When I use CDC_Transmit_HS() it works. I can send data from the provided buffer. I can also do this multiple times. And the DMA seems to work, as the execution time of CDC_Transmit_HS() is rather short and independent of the buffer length.

BUT: I can only send 1468 bytes of data. If I use a buffer length > 1468 bytes it doesn’t send anything.

If I send say CDC_Transmit_HS(buffer1, 1460) and than CDC_Transmit_HS(buffer1, 12) I get the first 1460 bytes transferred but the second call is not transmitted.

I also tried different memory addresses for the buffer pointer. E.g. 0x30020000 (SRAM2).

Always the same.

After the CDC_Transmit_HS() the CPU is normally executing code, just without any data being sent.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? With internal IP DMA disabled it works fine with large buffers and repeatably.

Thanks a lot

Hello @FTrie.1​ 

Actually the following USB FIFO configuration is not correct when USB DMA is enabled.

/* USER CODE BEGIN TxRx_Configuration */
HAL_PCDEx_SetRxFiFo(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS, 0x200);
HAL_PCDEx_SetTxFiFo(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS, 0, 0x80);
HAL_PCDEx_SetTxFiFo(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS, 1, 0x174);
/* USER CODE END TxRx_Configuration */

In fact, you should not allocate more than (4096 – 72 (for DMA descs)) bytes in total -> 0x3EE words

Please try to use the following config which should work for your use case.

/* USER CODE BEGIN TxRx_Configuration */
HAL_PCDEx_SetRxFiFo(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS, 0x200);
HAL_PCDEx_SetTxFiFo(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS, 0, 0x80);
HAL_PCDEx_SetTxFiFo(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS, 1, 0x100);
/* USER CODE END TxRx_Configuration */

Please let me know if this solved your issue.

Hello @FTrie.1​ ,

Your problem has been raised internally for verification. I will keep you updated.

Thanks for your contribution.

Hello @FTrie.1​ ,

Potentially an USB FIFO configuration issue on the software that corrupt USB DMA descriptors.

Can you please provide the USB FIFO settings.

Thanks in advance.

Are there any news concerning this issue from your side?

Hello @Walid ZRELLI​ ,

i haven't looked into it recently, as i changed my design and don't use the USB any longer. But it would still be interesting why it is not working using the HAL driver and dma enabled.

In 2 days i have access to the STM32H747I-DISCO Discovery kit again and will try again.

Regarding fifo settings, do you mean inside the function USBD_LL_Init(...) in usbd.conf.c? I haven't changed any of this:

USBD_StatusTypeDef USBD_LL_Init(USBD_HandleTypeDef *pdev)
{
  /* Init USB Ip. */
  if (pdev->id == DEVICE_HS) {
  /* Link the driver to the stack. */
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.pData = pdev;
  pdev->pData = &hpcd_USB_OTG_HS;
 
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Instance = USB_OTG_HS;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.dev_endpoints = 9;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.speed = PCD_SPEED_HIGH;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.dma_enable = ENABLE;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.phy_itface = USB_OTG_ULPI_PHY;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.Sof_enable = DISABLE;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.low_power_enable = DISABLE;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.lpm_enable = DISABLE;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.vbus_sensing_enable = DISABLE;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.use_dedicated_ep1 = DISABLE;
  hpcd_USB_OTG_HS.Init.use_external_vbus = DISABLE;
  if (HAL_PCD_Init(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS) != HAL_OK)
  {
    Error_Handler( );
  }
 
#if (USE_HAL_PCD_REGISTER_CALLBACKS == 1U)
  /* Register USB PCD CallBacks */

  HAL_PCD_RegisterCallback(&hpcd_USB_OTG_HS, HAL_PCD_SETUPSTAGE_CB_ID, PCD_SetupStageCallback);

  /* USER CODE END TxRx_Configuration */
  }
  return USBD_OK;
}
