HardFault when using UART and DMA

Hi,

I have a program running on a STM32U083RCT that is raising a HardFault when running at full speed, but when stepping through the code using a debugger the code appears to run correctly.

I have a transceiver device connected to to USART2. I have also tried a different transceiver and USART1.

I'm also doing DMA ADC conversions.

SP appears to remain at the same location during execution.

I also two other fault conditions occurring are NMI or the debugger loses connection with:

 

 

 

 

Target is not responding, retrying...

 

 

 

 

 

I have tried to get the minimum program to repeat the issue the following is the code works, however if I enable DMA for ADC1 I immediately get a NMI. I don't need to use DMA for the ADC, but it would be nice to understand what I am doing wrong.

    After some time I believe that I have found the source of the problem, I am turning 3.3Volts on to power the transceiver and it is causing a drop in voltage to the point where I believe the micro must be browning out something similar

    And if you disable the UART and keep only ADC+DMA running, do you get the same behavior?
