Data transfer from GPIO port to RAM buffer using DMA upon receiving a trigger signal on the timer capture input channel.
Data transfer from GPIO port to RAM buffer using DMA upon receiving a trigger signal on the timer capture input channel.
- Our requirement is to configure the DMA so that it transfers data from the GPIO lines (8 bit data lines) to the RAM buffer upon receiving a trigger signal on the timer capture input channel.
- We had received an example code from ST for the F1 series controllers and the code is attached. The code works fine with the F1 discovery board. Now we are trying to do the same thing on the F4 board. We have implemented the same configurations for F4 board and tried with F4 discovery board but the DMA data transfer doesn’t happen.The code for F4 is also attached.
- The code file is attached. Please note that we have used standard peripheral library functions from ST. Can you please go through our configurations and point out errors? Or send the useful example which can fulfill our requirements.
Indeed, looks like you need DMA2, as DMA1 can only access peripherals on APB1

Hello Clive, I used your code and changed it to memorry to peripheral out.
The code given below. Now when i try to send the data out what i am seeing is
when i sample the data at constant rate then some bytes of data gets repeated
which is giving an indication that the data is getting sampled twice.
My conclusion says that the particular data remains on GPIO port for longer duration.

Don't enable the TIM8 interrupt, 10 MHz isn't viable. Check the repetition count setting for TIM8
