32F746 USART DMA with STemWin not working.

[Jame DEV]

I'm working on STM32F746 discovery wtih STemWin(firmwere F7 1.15). I'm tested on both UART1 and UART6.

It's work fine without DMA and it's also worked with interrupt too.

When i try to run with DMA. Hardware not even send an output data(I'm checked with my oscilloscopes). And huart keep busy all the time.

So i give up trying on STM32F746 discovery. And tested on STM32F746 Nucleo board. I'm setup with cudeMX. And enabled only UART2 and UART3 with DMA and global interrupt. Than i'm found the problems UART3 DMA not wotking but UART2 DMA work fine. And than i try UART2-3 without DMA , Only interrupt. And It's works.

I'm tried to result this problem for 2 days now. And i have no clue what's wrong with it. Please help me.

Are you talking about Tx or Rx?

Did you observe the USART pin(s) using oscilloscope/logic analyzer?

Read out and check/copmpare to the working case the content of relevant USART and DMA registers.

I don't Cube/CubeMX.

DMA not work on both RX and TX. And yes. I'm observe both RX TX with oscilloscope too. And i'm debug the memory too. On RX pin it's have a signal coming form debugger but DMA RX not working.

YESSSSSSSSSS. I found the problem.

In /* Initialize all configured peripherals */(main.c). You have call MX_DMA_Init() function. before MX_USARTx_UART_Init().

Wasted 2 day because of this thing.

@Amel NASRI​  - here again the order of calling some Cube and DMA related functions is mentioned, couldn't this be a similar issue than with the ADC-DMA?

[Amel NASRI]

Yes it should be the same issue, I'll highlight it again internally.

Sorry for the inconvenience this created for you and all other STM32CubeMX users who faced similar problem.

Hello @Jame DEV​ 

Could you please give me the CubeMX version with which the user created the project initially. Because, i was not able to reproduce the problem by starting a project from scratch.

Best regards,

Hello @Jame DEV​ 

Thanks for the feedback,

It will be fixed on the next version of CubeMX.

Best regards,
