How to transmit five byte data transmit in UART_DMA?

mrsmile
Associate III

I already try for send five byte data in UART DMA. I am using the controller in STM32G030K6T6. Data transmition is working properly but output is did not taken properly. The problem was am transmit data five bytes for UART_DMA but DMA transmit only two bytes data. HAL_UART_Transmit_DMA call in timer interrupt handler to check the output for just now. The output is came but this is not proper output. this method for just call in to the interrupt handler output is continuously came for five bytes data. I need a output for 500 millisec once Five Bytes data transmit.  I attach the output for picture and code. please tell what can I do for next step.

Hi @RomainR.​  sir,

 when i generated a new project and i followed the step to have provided me but it doesn't work it get stuck in error handler. Can you please explain me the process you have done.

Sorry, late reply. I started to write code but i got busy so couldn't finish it until now.

Actually you need to look at the HAL status. Maybe as a stripped down code that only transmit, then it may work when HAL_UART_TxCpltCallback is called and you set a flag.

ST has poor example code that doesn't show how to recover if a transmit (or receive) returns HAL_BUSY. Instead of calling Error_Handler they should show how to set a flag and check if you need to try to send the data again.

The below code shows how to set a flag if HAL_BUSY is returned and how to continue trying to send again. I am using a ring buffer that can currently hold up to 4 queues with up to 128 bytes. If the transmit fails then it won't increment the queue until HAL_OK all the while you can still add data to the queue without corrupting the pending queue to be sent.
