STM32F030C8T6 DMA I2C stuck in endless while loop without interrupt

table
Associate

Hi.

I tried using DMA with I2C before using interrupts and I seem to get the same problem that still remains unsolved.
This time around I decided I will try and not use any interrupts to make things a bit simple. However I am still getting the same result and I just can not seem to figure out why my I2C coms get stuck in the middle of a transmission. The Error flag is not going up either.

I am trying to read from the 0x0C (raw_angle) address from a AS5600 IC.
I do this by sending '0x0C' to '0x36'(AS5600 address). On the BusPirate on SNIFFER mode I see the following on the bus line.
[0x6C+
This did not change from the last example. When I take the BusPirate and the AS5600 IC alone and run the command Step1: [0x6C 0x0C]
Step2: [0x6D rr]
I do manage to get some legit bytes referring to what I believe is the raw_angle values.

When I put it all back onto the MCU it just gets stuck WITH OR WITHOUT the BusPirate on the bus.
In the code below the breakpoint will get stuck in the while loop on line 86 " while (!(DMA1->ISR & DMA_ISR_TCIF2)){} // Wait for DMA transfer complete "

I just do not know what I am doing wrong here.

Hello @table ,

may I ask for the reason you are using direct access to registers making it difficult to identify if it was done the right way as DMA config especially requires specific sequence described in Reference manual. using HAL will make it much easier to develop and debug and for such application the cost on memory footprint is negligible unless this is a requirement i recommend you use HAL or LL library which will help us in the debug process and return values of it functions to know for sure what is not correctly implemented.

Hello @STea 

 

I Generally do not use HAL because of vendor lock in.
I use various vendors of MCUs.

 

Thanks.
