\0 is added in the front of my message when using HAL_SPI_Receive_DMA()

[Dreamer3D]

Hello,

I'm commucating two STM32 F4 boards  using SPI

The first board is configured as a Master and used to only transmit data 

#define message_tx_size 4
uint8_t message_tx[message_tx_size] = "ABCD";
....
int main(void){
	while (1){
		HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi1, message_tx, message_tx_size, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
	}
}

The second board is configured as a Slave and used to only receiver data

//main.c
#define message_rx_size 4
uint8_t message_rx[message_rx_size];

int main(void){
  while (1){
  if ((1 == msgRX)){ //Process the message
			msgRX = 0;
	  } else if (0 == msgRX){
			msgRX = -1;

			memset(&struct_example_data_rx, '\0', size_of_struct_example_data);
			HAL_SPI_Receive_DMA(&hspi1, (uint8_t *)&struct_example_data_rx, size_of_struct_example_data);
	  }

	  HAL_Delay(200);
  }
}

//stm32f4xx_it.c
extern volatile int msgRX;
void HAL_SPI_RxCpltCallback(SPI_HandleTypeDef *hspi) {
	if(hspi->Instance == hspi1.Instance && -1 == msgRX) {
		 msgRX = 1;
	}
}

The problem is: for the first iteration, I receive the exact data. But after a few itteration, the data I received becomes "\0ABC".

And if I re-run the receiver, without re-runing the transmiter, then I got the same exact result: OK at the begening, but altered after.

Thank you for help

Is the \0 due to zeros being read on the bus, or maybe the DMA is getting interrupted in some way, and skipping the first byte? Change the memset to 0xff and retest. 

[Dreamer3D]

I did not change anything on the transmiter, and I change to 0xff the memeset on the receiver. But it still not work. The data is only OK on the first itteration.

I saw something from a forum on community.st.com about clearing the buffer. It migth be that the data from the last iteration is still inside the buffer. And since '\0' is the last character on the buffer, then it is added into the new value of the buffer?

Hello,

I already posted my problem a few weeks ago, but it is still not resolved. This is the link to my last post: 

Re: \0 is added in the front of my message when using HAL_SPI_Receive_DMA()

 My goal is to use two STM32F4 boards to transfer data: the first board is configured as Master and only transmit data. And the second borad is configured as Slave and only receive data. I receive the data on the slave board, but the data is altered. an '\0' is added at the begening of the data.

This is an example of the steps on the Debug I see on the slave boad when I send a data ="ABC" of size 5

run 1 on the debug mode: message received = "ABC"

run 2 on the debug mode: message received = "AABC"

run 3 on the debug mode: message received = "\0ABC"

...

run n on the debug mode: message received = "\0ABC"

Thank you for your help.

No need to start a separate thread,  just update the existing one - Merged into the original thread.

Early on, @BarryWhit said:

"These kinds of manual delays are often indicators of poor design"

Have you tried addressing that?

ie, put some proper synchronisation between your master & slave.

eg, use the NSS signal.

Have you used a logic analyser to see what's happening on the wires?

Thank you for responding to me,

I already address the issue with manual delays. I removed the manual delays.

I also an Hardware NSS Signal: Output Signal for the Master and Input Signal for the Slave. But this also did not resolve the problem.  

I use an oscilloscope to analyze the data = "ABC", it looks correct for me 

[Andrew Neil]

Doesn't your scope have a proper facility to capture screen shots - thus avoiding that glare, etc?

That's not the right right way to use NSS:

    /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
	  HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi1, message_tx, 5, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
	  HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_14);

	  HAL_Delay(200);
  }
  /* USER CODE END 3 */

NSS should be high when inactive, then pull it low at the start of a transmission, then high again at the end:

    /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
	  HAL_GPIO_WritePin( NSS_PORT, NSS_PIN, GPIO_PIN_RESET );  // Assert NSS
	  HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi1, message_tx, 5, HAL_MAX_DELAY);  // Do the transfer
	  HAL_GPIO_WritePin( NSS_PORT, NSS_PIN, GPIO_PIN_SET );    // Release NSS

I added the code for configuring the NSS on the Master, and did not change anything on the Slave, but this still did not resolve the problem. 

I want to add some additional information: when I run the slave, I receive the correct data for the first iteration. And if I re-run the slave, without re-running the master, I still got the right data on the first iteration. Does that mean the problem is on the slave side? 

[Andrew Neil]

You really need to get a logic analyser on the wires to see what's actually being transferred

Hello, 

It's finnaly some experimental work and ChatGPT who resolve the problem

look bellow at this response that ChatGPT gave me.

Apparently, the circular mode is perfect for continous data transfer
