STM32U5A5: DMA to SAI2 does not work - why?
I want to send audio samples (received via SAI1 from PDM MIC) to SAI2_SD_B as SPDIF out.
It does not work, because: the DMA does not seem to write the DR in SAI2:
- the memory is filled with audio samples
- the DMA seems to run (I get the HAL_SAI_TxCpltCallback and I can see via debugger that the DMA pointers are moving)
- but the SPDIF sends all zero: on scope, the SPDIF output is all as zero words
Remark: it is on a STM32U5A5RJT6Q (LQFP64 package): the datasheet "says": not a SAI2 there (just one SAI) - but not true - it works also with SAI2, even CubeMX does not let me configure SAI2 pins (also wrong in CubeMX tool). But I can configure SAI2 and see it working (in Polling and INT mode, just the DMA fails).
So, my impression: the circular buffer and DMA does not work. No idea why not: the code is generated by CubeMX.

Here is the DMA config I use: Why does it send all as zero (or does not send anything into SAI2_B DR)?
/* Peripheral DMA init - SAI2_SD_B as SPDIF - use CH5 */
NodeConfig.NodeType = DMA_GPDMA_LINEAR_NODE;

NodeConfig.Init.DestDataWidth = DMA_SRC_DATAWIDTH_WORD;
NodeConfig.Init.SrcBurstLength = 1;
NodeConfig.Init.DestBurstLength = 1;

{
Error_Handler();
}
handle_GPDMA1_Channel5.Instance = GPDMA1_Channel5;

}
BTW: what is "DMA_SRC_ALLOCATED_PORT0|DMA_DEST_ALLOCATED_PORT0"?
It is the same for the SAI1 DMA, using channel 4, with quite similar config (just direction is reversed), but also PORT0 used there. Is this a conflict? (even the channel is a different one).
Why is the circular DMA buffer config not working for Memory-to-SAI2_B?
