F411 SPI LL example: problem when changing SPI1 to SPI4. Below are the codes for config SPI DMA or SPI.

[HDaji.1]

I tried to change SPI1 to SPI4 in the LL example code.

My problem is I cannot detect any signal on the CLK or data pins.

  /* DMA2 used for SPI4 Transmission
   * DMA2 used for SPI4 Reception

In the alternate function mapping table, there are other pins (PExx) that are also associated with SPI4. I wonder how the configuration works to choose one set instead of the other.

[TDK]

Yep, looks like you need AF6 on two of the pins.

AF simply makes the internal connection. You can select SPI4_SCK on two pins and it will output to both of them.

[HDaji.1]

yes, for CLK and MISO pins. But there is still not signal on the 3 pins.
