Hi there,

first of all, thanks for the useful information in this forum. You already helped me a lot for my first steps with the STM32F4 discovery board.

I set up SPI with an external ADC using DMA.
The STM32F4 is the SPI master.
SPI_Enable/Disable is triggered by an external interrupt.
DMA is working, when using a single buffer.

Here's the problem:
I now try to use the DMA double buffer mode, but it doesn't work as expected. As far as I understood from some posts and the manual, the active buffer should be switched automatically when the transfer complete flag is set. But in my case this does not happen.
For test purpose I make debug output in 
DMA1_Stream3_IRQHandler (see below)
expecting the terminal to show alternating "*.*.*.", but in effect, I only get "*******" and only aRxBuffer[0] receives the data, whereas aRxBuffer[1] stays unaffected.
I don't see why. Can you help, please?

Kind regards,
Roland
