Hi, I am trying to set up an input capture with DMA on a F1 and a F4 chip.
The documentation is confusing, and most tutorials don't work for my specific scenario. For a start, when setting up DMA using cubeMX, I can't configure source, destination and data length.
Reading the Documentation I should use HAL_DMA_START(); and put those values in there, but when called, it just tells me that the DMA controller is busy. I can't find any resources about what that means, what do I need to change?
And getting the hdma is tedious as well. I got it working using
htim1.hdma[TIM_DMA_ID_CC1]
But there got to be a better way.

What exactly is the problem?
Describe, what' you've done, in terms of TIM and DMA registers content, one chip at a time.

I did most of the configuration in MX:

The Code runs, but the DMA doesn't, i suspect its because the HAL_DMA_START function fails, breakpoints show it's because the DMA is busy
--------------------------------------------------------
I am using
htim1.hdma[TIM_DMA_ID_CC1]
because when writing for F1, the hdma is declared in the TIM.c file and isn't in the scope of main.c, I could change that, but am unsure if this is the intended way of doing it.
2020-10-12 12:21 PM
Try swap tim base start with dma start
2020-10-12 03:00 PM
did that before, this is the second version. Neither work.
2020-10-12 03:54 PM
This is which STM32 exactly? Let's discuss only one of them for now.
Did you verify that the capture works?
Read out and check/post the TIM, DMA and relevant GPIO registers' content.
I don't Cube/CubeMX.

Hi Waclawek, I am currently working on a nucleoF401RE for development purposes, but in production we use F1RCTs on custom boards (I know, I know...)
I went through the code step by step and checked against the documentation, and I found that I used the wrong start function.

Now it starts the timer, captures the signal and transfers it.
Thing is, the data that I get out is weird, probably because the input capture is faster than I can remove the signal, then again, I told it only to capture on a rising edge.
My circular buffer is getting overwritten completely when connecting the debug-wires.
