How to setup SPI DMA on the M4 core for the STM32H745 chip
I have a hobby project where I'm looking to design a flight controller using the STM32H745 microcontroller. My plan is to use the M4 core for data acquisition while using the M7 for the flight control stuff. I have a custom PCB with sensors connected over SPI, I2C and UART. and I'm trying to setup DMA for all these peripherals.
However, safe to say this MCU is a lot more complicated than previous things I've worked with. I've setup DMA for UART and that works fine. But I can't seem to get SPI DMA working at the moment on the M4. I've written a driver using the M7 core without DMA and that works fine but I've been unsuccessful so far on the other chip.
I just had a few questions to help me clarify a few things:
- Are there cache coherence issues when using the M4 core? I know you can workaround this on the M7 core by setting your MPU regions or using SCB_clean and invalidate operations. But I don't see a data cache on the M4 chip. Is there a need to do this?
- in terms of setting up shared memory regions when I want to move data from the M4 to the M7, is there a way to set up the memory regions in the linker script where both cores can easily access the same memory region?
- Back to my original question, could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

}My NCS pin is on PA4 which is initialised in the gpio.c file. I then do the following in the main.c file to see if I can get the chip ID.
int main()
{
MX_GPIO_Init();
MX_DMA_Init();
MX_SPI1_Init();
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_4, GPIO_PIN_SET);
uint8_t SerialData[3];
SerialData[0] = 0xD0 | 0x80;
uint8_t aRxBuffer[3]= {0};
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA,GPIO_PIN_4,GPIO_PIN_RESET);
HAL_SPI_TransmitReceive_DMA(&hspi1, SerialData, (uint8_t*)aRxBuffer, 3);
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA,GPIO_PIN_4,GPIO_PIN_SET);
while (1)
{
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
}I put a breakpoint in
void HAL_SPI_TxRxCpltCallback(SPI_HandleTypeDef *hspi)
{
}and the function gets called but I don't see any data in my buffer. I've tried all variants of the HAL_SPI_Transmit_DMA and Receive functions but no no avail. But this doesn't happen when I run ths on the M7.
I've opened a support ticket as I've been at this for two weeks now but I've not gotten anything back. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out with this.
