Bare metal timer-triggered multi-channel ADC conversion using DMA (STM32H745)

Try as I might, I cannot get timer-triggered ADC conversions of three channels working using the DMA. I've managed to get it to run for a single channel and using ADC triggered interrupts (no DMA). While adapting my code to work with DMA, I leaned on the code shown here. I've also read this knowledge base article regarding the DMA not working in relation with memory/caching.

I think the configurations for the timer and the ADC are correct because if I remove the following line, my ADC overrun interrupt routine gets triggered:

ADC->CFGR = ADC->CFGR | ADC_CFGR_AUTDLY;

To work around the issue described in the knowledge base article, I turn off cacheability of the memory that I want to address via the DMA as follows:

void MPUConfig(void) {
 
	// Refer to application note AN4838
 
	MPU_Region_InitTypeDef MPU_InitStruct;
 
	/* Disable MPU */
	HAL_MPU_Disable();
 
	// Configure first 64kB of SRAM1 as non-cacheable
	MPU_InitStruct.Enable = MPU_REGION_ENABLE;
	MPU_InitStruct.BaseAddress = 0x30000000;   // SRAM1
	MPU_InitStruct.Size = MPU_REGION_SIZE_64KB;
	MPU_InitStruct.AccessPermission = MPU_REGION_FULL_ACCESS;
	MPU_InitStruct.IsBufferable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_BUFFERABLE;
	MPU_InitStruct.IsCacheable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_CACHEABLE;
	MPU_InitStruct.IsShareable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_SHAREABLE;
	MPU_InitStruct.Number = MPU_REGION_NUMBER0;
	MPU_InitStruct.TypeExtField = MPU_TEX_LEVEL0;
	MPU_InitStruct.SubRegionDisable = 0x00;
	MPU_InitStruct.DisableExec = MPU_INSTRUCTION_ACCESS_ENABLE;
	HAL_MPU_ConfigRegion(&MPU_InitStruct);
 
	/* Enable MPU */
	HAL_MPU_Enable(MPU_PRIVILEGED_DEFAULT);
}

As I couldn't put everything in my first post, I continue here.

The configuration of the timer, the ADC and DMA are done with this code (sorry for the ugly formatting, but that's forced by this web page here. If you copy it in a text editor, it'll look nice and neat).

And my interrupt routines look like shown below. When setting a breakpoint inside the stream interrupt handler, it never gets triggered. Can someone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?

// For debugging purposes
 
void TIM6_DAC_IRQHandler(void) {
	// HAL_GPIO_WritePin(LED_RED_GPIO_Port, LED_RED_Pin, GPIO_PIN_RESET);
	if(TIM2->SR & TIM_SR_UIF) {
		TIM2->SR &= ~TIM_SR_UIF;
	}
}
 
// Temporary to see if there is an overrun
 
volatile uint16_t adc_flag;
 
void ADC3_IRQHandler(void){
    if(ADC3->ISR & ADC_ISR_OVR){
        ADC3->ISR |= ADC_ISR_OVR;
        adc_flag = 1;
    }
}
 
 
volatile uint16_t dma_flag;
 
void DMA1_Stream0_IRQHandler(void) {
	HAL_GPIO_WritePin(LED_RED_GPIO_Port, LED_RED_Pin, GPIO_PIN_RESET);
    if(DMA1->LISR & DMA_LISR_TEIF0){
        DMA1->LIFCR |= DMA_LIFCR_CTEIF0;
        dma_flag = 1;
    }
 
    if(DMA1->LISR & DMA_LISR_TCIF0){
        DMA1->LIFCR |= DMA_LIFCR_CTCIF0;
        dma_flag = 2;
    }
}

You are correct. I don't know why I didn't see this myself. Thanks for the hint. Since the corresponding bits are set to zero on MCU bringup anyways, I just changed this to the following:

DMA1_Stream0->CR |= DMA_SxCR_PSIZE_0;
DMA1_Stream0->CR |= DMA_SxCR_MSIZE_0;

Still not working though. Need to keep debugging...

I was having the same issue.

It was working with a SW ADC start in the TIM3 interrupt. But I wanted it to start automatically with a HW trigger. In case there was a delay in executing the ISR.

I found this to be helpful.

Once I made the changes he did in the configuration program, my code worked without even having to try his code. (I had a different processor, but made the changes that did the same thing.) I am making it run 10,000 times a second or every 100 us.
