Note: If a DMA channel is disabled, the DMA registers are not reset. The DMA channel registers
(DMA_CCRx, DMA_CPARx and DMA_CMARx) retain the initial values programmed during
the channel configuration phase.
In circular mode, after the last transfer, the DMA_CNDTRx register is automatically reloaded
with the initially programmed value. The current internal address registers are reloaded with
the base address values from the DMA_CPARx/DMA_CMARx registers.
Channel configuration procedure
The following sequence should be followed to configure a DMA channelx (where x is the
channel number).
1. Set the peripheral register address in the DMA_CPARx register. The data will be
moved from/ to this address to/ from the memory after the peripheral event.
2. Set the memory address in the DMA_CMARx register. The data will be written to or
read from this memory after the peripheral event.
3. Configure the total number of data to be transferred in the DMA_CNDTRx register.
After each peripheral event, this value will be decremented.
4. Configure the channel priority using the PL[1:0] bits in the DMA_CCRx register
5. Configure data transfer direction, circular mode, peripheral & memory incremented
mode, peripheral & memory data size, and interrupt after half and/or full transfer in the
DMA_CCRx register
6. Activate the channel by setting the ENABLE bit in the DMA_CCRx register.
As soon as the channel is enabled, it can serve any DMA request from the peripheral
connected on the channel.
Once half of the bytes are transferred, the half-transfer flag (HTIF) is set and an interrupt is
generated if the Half-Transfer Interrupt Enable bit (HTIE) is set. At the end of the transfer,
the Transfer Complete Flag (TCIF) is set and an interrupt is generated if the Transfer
Complete Interrupt Enable bit (TCIE) is set.
Circular mode
Circular mode is available to handle circular buffers and continuous data flows (e.g. ADC
scan mode). This feature can be enabled using the CIRC bit in the DMA_CCRx register.
When circular mode is activated, the number of data to be transferred is automatically
reloaded with the initial value programmed during the channel configuration phase, and the
DMA requests continue to be served.
Memory-to-memory mode
The DMA channels can also work without being triggered by a request from a peripheral.
This mode is called Memory to Memory mode.
If the MEM2MEM bit in the DMA_CCRx register is set, then the channel initiates transfers as
soon as it is enabled by software by setting the Enable bit (EN) in the DMA_CCRx register.
The transfer stops once the DMA_CNDTRx register reaches zero. Memory to Memory
mode may not be used at the same time as Circular mode.
