I’m working with an STM32G474RE chip, and I’m trying to use the synchronization feature of the DMA multiplexer to time when a DMA transfer to SPITX should occur. I’d like to have this timed synchronously to some other timer events.
Looking at the documentation, it appears like the options for synchronization signals come from EXTI 0-15, signals generated in the DMAMUX itself, or the LPTIM timer’s output.
The LPTIM timer doesn’t have the same connections to the synchronization signals as the other timers (advanced, general, and basic), so I can’t use it to generate the needed signal. I suppose I could generate a waveform on a timer’s channel output, route that with a wire to another GPIO pin, and use that as a synchronization signal, but that is so unnecessarily wasteful and introduces the possibility of capacitance issues, etc.
It seems very odd that the DMAMUX peripheral would include the synchronization function, but use an implementation that excludes timers. Is there something that can be done? I’m writing my code using CMSIS, but if there’s a HAL example somebody can point to, I could analyze that.
