STM32F446 ADC modes for analog watchdog

Hello,

I'd like to use my STM32F446 in the following way:

1. ADC 1&2 are connected to an analog sensor
2. Once the sensor connected to ADC 1 passes a certain voltage, start using DMA to transfer ADC 1&2 values to buffers.
3. Once the transfer is complete, stop the DMA and execute a function
4. Do steps 2-3 over and over again

I managed to achieve the above by using an external Th-crossing circuit I've built, now I'd like to get rid of this circuit and change implementation to using the integrated Analog Watchdog in ADC1.

I tried at first enabling ADC1 in polling mode, waiting for the AWDG to be triggered and then enabling the DMA transfer but it seems that the AWDG is not working when the ADC is in polling mode. Is that correct or am I missing something here?

Please help me figure it out :)
