STM32CubeMX generated DMA code

[jminack]

Hi,

I'm using V6.15.0 of CubeMX with STM32U5 to generate DMA code. When I use the following configuration, it appears to generate incorrect code?

I've noticed the following:

1) It placed the Node_GPDMA1_Channel1 structure on the stack:

This doesn't seem right, and I would note that when memory to memory DMA is selected, it allocates this (correctly) statically.

2) It sets the source increment mode to LL_DMA_SRC_FIXED:

This again doesn't seem right. When transferring from memory to peripheral, the source increment mode should be LL_DMA_SRC_INCREMENT.

3) This code is confusing and inconsistent:

When generating memory to memory code, the LL_DMA_SetLinkedListBaseAddr call is placed inside the comments. When generating peripheral to memory code, it is placed outside of the comments.

Regards

Hello @jminack 

I'm currently investigating this.

I will get back to you asap.

Hello @jminack 

Thank you very much for your valuable contribution.

Regarding the first issue: Ticket 215856 has been escalated to the development team for resolution.

Regarding the second issue: Ticket 215855 has also been submitted to the development team for further investigation.

Regarding the third point: Could you please provide more details or clarify your concern so I can better assist you?

Hi @Ghofrane GSOURI ,

Thanks for your quick response. With regards to item 3, when code is generated as per the configuration above (so, Peripheral to Memory), the following code is inserted:

  /* Next function call is commented because it will not compile as is. The Node structure address has to be cast to an unsigned int (uint32_t)pNode_DMAxCHy */
  /*

  */
  LL_DMA_SetLinkedListBaseAddr(GPDMA1, LL_DMA_CHANNEL_1, (uint32_t)&Node_GPDMA1_Channel1);

Notice the empty comments on line 2 to line 4. The comment itself doesn't make sense. 

When the code is generated with Memory to Memory however, you get this:

  /* Next function call is commented because it will not compile as is. The Node structure address has to be cast to an unsigned int (uint32_t)pNode_DMAxCHy */
  /*

  LL_DMA_SetLinkedListBaseAddr(GPDMA1, LL_DMA_CHANNEL_1, (uint32_t)&Node_GPDMA1_Channel1);

  */

So the issue I'm raising is:

1) Why the difference behavior for Memory to Memory and Peripheral to Memory

2) The comment in the first case doesn't make any sense, as nothing is commented out.

3) It's unclear why the comment say the code will not compile as is? Is it is referring to the call to  LL_DMA_SetLinkedListBaseAddr? If it is, what is the issue with compiling in that code?

Thanks again.

John
