STM32H7B0 starting MDMA fails to unexpected IRQ (WWDG)

[OGhis]

Dear,

We use the STM32H7B0 100 pins version.
The MPU, ICACHE, DCACHE are disabled

We will use a MDMA to copy some data from one to another place.

Therefore we had try an example to understand the configuration.
We had use a part of example:   https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeH7/blob/master/Projects/STM32H7B3I-EVAL/Examples/MDMA/MDMA_LinkedList/Src/main.c

When we start the MDMA we becom an unexpected IRQ (WWDG) when we do the verfication with Buffercmp().
What goes wrong here?

Here is the used code:

#define BUFFER_SIZE0 32
#define BUFFER_SIZE1 16
#define BUFFER_SIZE2 8

/* 32-bytes Alignment is needed for cache maintenance purpose */
ALIGN_32BYTES(int16_t dma_secBuffer[BSPADC_DMA_BUF_SIZE]);

Are you sure that's not just the address of the Default_Handler, or a dozen other interrupt handlers with a weak fixup?

Look at startup.s file, make sure you've named the IRQ Handler exactly right, same case, etc.

Check the .MAP file and the linkage into the Vector Table.

Watch if using C++ or .cpp file for Name Mangling issues.

Hi,

We didn't really find the error, but we are now using MXcube for configuration.

There are some parameters we don't understand:

In mxCube, we can enter the source and destination address along with “block Count” and “Block data Length” but nothing is done with these values during code generation.
Is this normal or a bug in mxCube?

The “buffer transfer length” what does this value mean?
