Question

ADC using DMA works in 8-bit mode even though a resolution of 12-bit is activated.

Hello,

I would like to use an ADC using DMA in 12-bit mode. 

Unfortuntaly, the adc value is only 8-bit which doesn't match with my configuration. I've already tried to solve the problem by trying the solution proposed here: https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-products/why-would-an-adc-sample-in-8-bit-mode-when-dma-is-used-but-when/m-p/197276/highlight/true#M42484

But it didn't work in my case.

Here's my source code for dma and adc. I am not working with the cubeIDE anymore, that's why my configuration functions look different than the auto-generated init-functions of the IDE. The weird thing is that the same configuration is working in the CubeIDE... (so maybe it's a structual problem in my configuration)

DMA_HandleTypeDef hdma_adc1;

uint16_t buffer;
uint16_t adc_value;
