Problem with configuring/transferring an SPI with DMA (And CRC).

[MHeid.4]

I can't get a data transfer over the SPI bus with my currently implemented code. I can see the CLK and CS but there is no output via MISO (only zeros are probably transferred). If I execute a transmission manually via "LL_SPI_TransmitData16", I can see this via an oscilloscope. 

The send should be triggered by an interrupt from a timer. The data come from 4 Channles of the ADC1s.

If you need more data, feel free to report. This is my first entry. :) 

Many greetings

The solution was simpler than expected but easier to overlook. The initialization sequence has initialized the timer, which serves as a trigger, too early. This leads to problems.
