STM32L011 USART2 and DMA (Continued)

[Archadious]

Previous post: https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-embedded-software/dma-on-stm32l011f4/td-p/742092

I am working with code on the STM32L011 that uses DMA to read data from USART2.  I received excellent help on this forum before and I'm hoping for the same now.

I'm using a custom PCB  and several colored LEDs for debugging. 
I expect the code to echo data it receives from the USART2 but it does not.  And neither LED is turned on.  It seems that the DMA IRQ handler is not being called.  I believe I'm missing something simple again.

Is there an reception? Does it work with POLLED, or IRQ?

Or is it locked up with a RX ERROR of some sort? Check USART2 ISR for parity, framing or noise errors.

[Archadious]

Very good question.  I should have mentioned that I am able to use polling and interrupts without DMA to receive data from USART2.  This proved to me that the hardware is correct. 

I believe my configuration of DMA maybe at fault and was hoping to have other eyes on my code to point out where my misunderstanding is.

Read out and check/post DMA and UART registers content.

JW

[Archadious]

That was a good suggestion.  However, I am still not seeing the reason why the code is not receiving incoming data.  I must still be a setting with DMA.

[waclawek.jan]

I don't see any problem here.

Is this *after* data have been arrived at the UART's Rx pin?

What are the UART registers content after that? (note, that you should not observe those registers permanently in the IDE, due to reading UARTx_RDR by debugger clearing the RXNE flag).

JW

[Archadious]

Are there any specific register values that I should be looking for?  If my DMA settings look correct, then maybe I do need to take another look at my USART code.

> Are there any specific register values that I should be looking for?

As I have no idea what's wrong (especially since you've said that polled implementation works, which would rule out hardware-related issues like incorrectly connected/setup Rx pin, incorrectly set baudrate, etc.), this is just  the generic recommendation. The mcu works out of the registers not out of source code, so looking at the registers (carefully, given debugger is intrusive, see above) should be the ultimate debugging method for the peripherals.
