Posted on November 07, 2017 at 20:25So, I have 5 TDM data slots being used in my SAI1 master TX using circular DMA. I have a buffer that is 10240 bytes in size (5*1024*2). So, to start the TDM signal, I call:
HAL_SAI_Transmit_DMA(&hsai_BlockA1, &DMABuffer[0], DMA_BUFFER_SIZE);
Where:
&sharpdefine DMA_BUFFER_SIZE (NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS * CHANNEL_BUFFER_SIZE * 2)
static uint8_t DMABuffer[DMA_BUFFER_SIZE];
memset(&DMABuffer[0], 0, DMA_BUFFER_SIZE); //clear out DMA Buffer
In my head I would assume that the circular DMA would loop through the DMABuffer data while triggering half and complete interrupts (which do trigger). However, when I capture the data going out the data line, I see the attached plot. I should see all zero's but there is enormous amounts with a little downtime (about 20%). If I change the above line to
HAL_SAI_Transmit_DMA(&hsai_BlockA1, &DMABuffer[0], DMA_BUFFER_SIZE / 5);
I do see the expected all zeros.
So, what am I missing? Is the size parameter in HAL_SAI_Transmit_DMA supposed to be the buffer size or the buffer size divided by the number of active data slots?
Thanks,
Jeremy
