GPDMA, UART transmit using LL library?

[Asantos]

Hi,

 Is there a LL Library project example or at least a code snippet of how to transmit uart data using the GPDMA?

Hello @Community member​,

You may need to specify STM32 product. Here is an example on how to use the MDMA triggered by GP-DMA using HAL;

Hope this helps!

Hi F.Belaid,

GPDMA is ST's new DMA that is currently only available on the new STM32U5 and STM32H5. I'm using the NUCLEO-H563ZI board, but examples for the STM32U5 would also do. And I need low-level examples, using the LL Library or register-level, of how to use this new DMA.

Actually, There are no available examples for the UART with GPDMA in the CubeFW for the STM32H5 using LL .

I recommend you check this section 16 General purpose direct memory access controller (GPDMA) in the Reference Manual : STM32H563/H573 and STM32H562 Arm<Sup>®</Sup>-based 32-bit MCUs - Reference manual

Hi,

I just don't understand how ST releases a new DMA, and doesn't post any code examples on how to use it. There's no way to do this from scratch just based on the reference manual. And the code that transmits over DMA using the HAL is incredibly inefficient. If I transmit a few bytes, the process of the function takes longer than the transmission itself. So I think ST should release code examples on how to use GPDMA with UART, SPI, ADC, etc. In normal mode and using the LL Library. This way it is easier for us to migrate applications from the previous STM32 to the new H5 while maintaining performance.

Hello Together, 

are there any new to this topic?

Any updates on any non-HAL examples?  Also struggling to migrate from L5 to new H5 GPDMA and linked lists.
