STM32 MCUs Embedded software

I am using STM32CubeMX 6.16.1 to configure a project for STM32F415.I use the FATFS on SD card and set it up as:According to FATFS documentation (https://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/doc/config.html#lfn_unicode), the data type TCHAR should translate to char in this case. However, CubeMX generates Middlewares/Third_Party/FatFs/src/ff.h in which TCHAR is defined as WC

Hello, I am working on an application that uses the SDMMC peripheral to read the contents alternating audio files every 150ms. The buffers i have to store the data are large enough to store the entire file in a single burst within RAM. The problem I am running into is that intermittently, the sound "loops" indicating a lockup on the sound subsytem. I've added a small timer in SysTick in order to quantify how long and often this lockup occurs as the logic is running in a lower priority interrupt. I find that the system locks up between 300ms-1200ms. When I listen for this audibly and stop the code, I find that the code is stuck in:if(BSP_SD_ReadBlocks_DMA((uint32_t*)buff, (uint32_t) (sector), count) == MSD_OK) { ReadStatus = 0; /* Wait that the reading process is completed or a timeout occurs */ timeout = HAL_GetTick(); while((ReadStatus == 0) && ((HAL_GetTick() - timeout) < SD_TIMEOUT)

On line 1695 of stm32h5xx_hal_eth.c ETH_MACTSCR_TSUPDT is used to set the timestamp counter, however page 2934 of RM0481 says this bit is used to add or subtract from the timestamp counter instead:Based on the description of this function, and its use 

So along time ago I created a very helpful program using an STm32H743ZI nucelo board. Then - STM discontinued that board -- GRRRR The recommended solution was:NUCELO-H755ZI-Q - so I purchased 4 of these. PROBLEM there are no usable examples in the STM32 cube suite that works with this board. I need to port my old STM32H743 code to this new chip GRRR Ok that should be easy. Turns out there is a huge problem with using this board because of the power supply, the key feature I need is exactly the ETHERNET interface. BUT - cubesuite does not have a ETHERNET example I can start from.. ie: that properly initializes the board to run at "some fast speed (i do not really care, speed is not important, I just need the 100mbit ethernet to work). The specific problem I had was I programed my board and evidently it locks the board up hard, jtag no longer works. The solution is to use a jumper force the chip into "BOOTLOADER MODE" then JTAG works ag

I am working on an STM32F746G-Discovery board using LwIP (2.1.2) and FreeRTOS (CMSIS-RTOS V1) generated via STM32CubeMX. I am facing a persistent issue where the gnetif.ip_addr.addr field is populated with a garbage/static value before DHCP can complete, specifically 0xf44fd102. The Issue: Even after performing a memset(&gnetif, 0, sizeof(struct netif)) before MX_LWIP_Init(), the debugger consistently reports the following for the IP address variable: Hex: 0xf44fd102 Decimal: -196095742 Translated IP: 244.79.209.2 (Multicast) It appears the Ethernet DMA is writing multicast network traffic into the memory space allocated for gnetif, or I am facing a D-Cache coherency issue where the CPU is reading "stale" data from a previous boot/session. Current Confi

Hello,i did the OEMiROT examples following How to start with OEMiRoT on STM32C5 using CMake by converting the EWARM project config. I would like to give that CMake config back as well as some fixes to the provisioning script / example_config. Where/How do I that?I know the GitHub Repo, however since there are no open/close tickets, I wounder if that is the right place.

Hello, I ran into an issue when testing a UART application on a STM32C562RE in loopback mode with RTS and CTS enabled. The app does the following:1. Start receiving 1 character at a time by using HAL_UART_Receive_IT.2. Send a string 3. After the received character is printed out I issue another call HAL_UART_Receive_IT.Everything works fine; the app prints out the string I sent. I wanted to make sure the hardware flow control was running correctly so I placed a HAL_Delay(1) after I print out the character received and before I issue a new call  to HAL_UART_Receive_IT. This should stop the transmitter due to the CTS -> 1 (no more room in the Rx buffer) and it should restart it after I issue the HAL_UART_Receive_IT CTS -> 0 due to available room in the Rx buffer; and, it does. All the characters are received as expected however HAL_UART_Receive_IT returns HA

When calling HAL_QSPI_Abort() to disable memory mapped mode, with the memmap timeout active, I find that there is a race condition that can cause the abort to fail when it should not. If the memmap timeout happens after the abort function's check of the busy flag, but before it can write to the abort bit, the TC flag will never be set and the abort function will wait for the configured qspi timeout, then return an error.I am testing this on a STM32F769I-DISCO board.I have found that the following patch will fix the issue: diff --git a/Drivers/STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32f4xx_hal_qspi.c b/Drivers/STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32f4xx_hal_qspi.c index 8404466..01a06ca 100644 --- a/Drivers/STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32f4xx_hal_qspi.c +++ b/Drivers/STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32f4xx_hal_qspi.c @@ -2381,19 +2381,19 @@ HAL_StatusTypeDef HAL_QSPI_Abort(QSPI_HandleTypeDef *hqspi) /* Configure QSPI: CR register

I have troubles using SPI3 on STM32U575VG. After some time the transfer hangs and it is not possible to amend it until whole reset.Configuration: Only transmit, is feeds LCD display, 240 lines, 54 bytes each.APB3 clock 48 MHz. Manual CS handling, SCLK 1.5 MHz.Everything looks ok, it works, but after some time and on some boards only it hangs. The problem appeared in the start of production. Symptoms: after configuration and LL_SPI_Enable(), the DMA transfers 16 bytes to the FIFO. That's ok, DMA works. But after LL_SPI_StartMasterTransfer(), the transfer doesn't start.Looking at the pins, SCLK remains low and MOSI contains some data, but very slow, one bit interval seems to be 8 ms. Reset of the SPI doesn't help. Reinit of the whole MCU after STOP2 (without reset), including all clocks doesn't help. The only thing that works is the reset of the whole MCU. I have no idea where to look at more. The SPI is not overclocked, it doesn

Hello everyone,I am trying to built a communication through SPI between two stm32g474 mircontrollers in two seperate projects. One should act as a Master and the other as slave. The Master succesfully reads ADC values out and sends it. But unfortunately,  the Slave does not Receive it. Here is my Code for Master:/* USER CODE BEGIN Header */ /** ****************************************************************************** * @file : main.c * @brief : Main program body ****************************************************************************** * @attention * * Copyright (c) 2026 STMicroelectronics. * All rights reserved. * * This software is licensed under terms that can be found in the LICENSE file * in the root directory of this software component. * If no LICENSE file comes with this software, it is provided AS-IS. * ******************************************

Hi,I am using one ADC with multiple channels on an STM32 device. I configured a timer trigger (external trigger) for the ADC, but I noticed that the trigger seems to apply to all channels of the same ADC, not just the selected channel.I would like to confirm:Is it true that one ADC has only one trigger source, and all configured channels share that trigger?Is it possible to configure different sampling/trigger properties per channel, or is the external trigger common for the entire ADC conversion sequence?My goal is to use different trigger timing per channel, but I am using only one ADC peripheral.Thank you.

Hi,I am building a program that can flash new firmware onto a STM32H743ZIT6 via CAN. It does so by utilizing the dual bank feature and ping-ponging between bank 1 and bank 2. It receives the firmware via CAN and buffers it. Before writing it to the inactive bank it first erases said bank.When running form bank 1 this works just fine and it is able to reboot to the newly flashed bank. When going from bank 2 back to bank 1 however, it encounters an issue. It crashes in the erase step and will not restart.After I manually disable the SWAP_BANK bit using STM32CubeProgrammer it runs again on bank 1 without flashing again. This (I think) tells me it is deleting bank 2 while also running on it.Attached you find the function in question, do you have any idea where i went wrong? void foc_erase_inactive_bank() { // Determine inactive bank from SWAP_BANK bit uint8_t inactive_bank = (FLASH->OPTCR &a

Hi,The project was created in stm32mx from the example project cortexm_sysk.It was generated as a CMake project and developed using VS Code.The "USB Device Middleware Library MCU Software Component" library, version "V2.11.4 / 11-April-2025", was manually added.CDC alone OKUVC alone OKCDC/HID OKCDC/UVC NOT OKSee file in attachment.I noticed the file descriptor is large (239 bytes). Is that a problem?Is there another setting I need to change?Regards,Sébastien

Hello All,On the STM32U575 is there any guidance regarding use of external resistors?  I don't see any on the reference design so I didn't put it on my board either.  USB data rates are fairly slow, is impedance matching even required?We are using TinyUSB so that we can avoid the RTOS and it works fine mostly, but occasional USB disconnects. We discovered by accident using a longer cable seems to resolve this. I am wondering if it is a fluke or if there is some rational reason for this.Thanks!

I am experiencing an issue with ADC3 multi-channel scan mode on a custom STM32H745 board (LDO power supply). The same code works perfectly on the Nucleo-H745ZI reference board (SMPS power supply), but fails on my custom design. Problem Summary: ADC3 configured for 6-channel continuous scan with DMA circular mode Only channels 1-3 receive invalid data (changing values) Channels 4-6 are stuck at 0 (no change) When using single-channel with interrupt (polling mode), the ADC works fine All GPIO pins are correctly routed; multimeter confirms good analog signals on all 6 input pins Expected Behavior: All 6 ADC channels should update continuously via DMA circular buffer. Actual Behavior: adcValues[0] = 2604660662 // PF6 (IN8) - CHANGING ✓ adcValu

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project based on the following STM32H7 LwIP example:https://github.com/stm32-hotspot/STM32H7-LwIP-Examples/tree/main/STM32H747_Disco_M7_ETHIn addition to the Ethernet functionality, I’ve enabled the SAI peripheral with DMA to transmit audio via I2S. I’ve noticed a problem:When I run the SAI with DMA on the Cortex-M7 core using FreeRTOS, the audio stream contains gaps or dropouts.However, when I move the exact same SAI/DMA initialization and logic to the Cortex-M4 core, the audio output is perfect with no gaps.Has anyone experienced similar issues when using DMA for audio on the M7 core with FreeRTOS?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!TG808

There is a bug in the FW package V1.6.3 where the UART and DMA doesn't work correctly.I've been using FW package V1.6.2 for awhile with UART in DMA circular mode and it has never had an issue. I've recently made a copy of the project to make an A and B comparison because we needed to make some subtle changes. I migrated to the latest FW Package V1.6.3 for the B project.With V1.6.3, when receiving a string command, i only receive a few character from the beginning of the string and the last few characters from the end of the string. A bunch of characters are missed from the middle of the string.  I decided to go back to FW package V1.6.2 in CubeMX because that is the only thing that really changed and generated the code. The project works correctly. What i see in V1.6.3 are a lot of missing huart->TxXferCount = 0U; and huart->RxXferCount = 0U;  throu

Hello,I am using the STM32H7B3I-EVAL board with STM32H7B3LIH6Q controller.The board revision I am using is MB1370-lcd-b02 a254300030.I downloaded the official demo package from the ST website:STM32H7B3I-EVAL → Tools & Software → Demo Code Package.After extracting the ZIP file, I tried flashing the provided  .hex demo file into the controller using STM32CubeProgrammer.However, programming fails with the following errors:Error: failed to download Sector[0]Error: failed to download the FileThe board is detected correctly through ST-LINK, and connection is successful.

I was wondering what is that. I created a custom bootloader firmware and application firmware. But once I successfully uploaded. When I send application firmware resquest I do not receive application firmware responses. Why is that? what is that? do you recognize that?  The AA 01 00 00 BB is the application firmware request frame.  0xAA is the begining 0x01 is the length 0x00 is the frame request ID  0x00 is the checksum 0xBB is the end of the frame  Thanks for all.

Hi Everyone,We are developing a Sub-GHz/LoRa device based on STM32WLE5CCU6 and have encountered an issue relatedto the Sub-GHz Radio BUSY state. We would like to ask for possible root causes and the recommendedrecovery procedure.The observed behavior is as follows:1. After MCU peripheral initialization, we call MX_SubGHz_Phy_Init() and then Radio.Init() /Radio.Sleep().2. We then try to execute HAL_SUBGHZ_ExecGetCmd(&hsubghz, RADIO_GET_ERROR, ...).3. The command keeps returning HAL_ERROR, and HAL_SUBGHZ_GetError(&hsubghz) returns 0x00000002, whichcorresponds to HAL_SUBGHZ_ERROR_RF_BUSY.4. We poll this command once per second for 10 seconds, and all attempts fail with the same error.5. We also checked the PWR flags before. PWR_FLAG_RFBUSYS remains active, which indicates that thecurrent RF BUSY signal stays high.6. PWR_FLAG_WRFBUSY can be cleared, but RFBUSYS remains high. Therefore, this does not

I have a project where a STM32U575VGT must convert a SSI multiturn encoder value into a parallel single turn value for GPIO output. The SSI values are 3 bytes long, and it would be best if the CPU is only interrupted when the last 2 values differ. I have set up SPI2 to have GPDMA channels for TX and RX (although only RX is needed). DMA transfers work, but when I try to enable autonomous mode with LPTIM1 Channel 1 as a trigger, there are no interrupts for SPI2 or the DMA channels. How do I trigger the SPI read every ~1ms? Is this something only achievable with the LL libraries rather than HAL? Is it possible to interrupt the CPU only if the 3 bytes read from the SPI differ from the previous value?

Hello,I would like to add Aliro compatibility to my access control device.My device uses the STM32WB55 MCU with an ST25R3911B NFC front-end.It seems that the X-Cube-Aliro package is designed to work with the new STM32WBA MCUs along with different NFC front-ends (such as ST25R200).As I understands it, I can implement the Aliro protocol on STM32WB55.1. Are there any such examples of adapting the X-Cube-Aliro package to work with such an MCU?2. Does using the X-Cube-Aliro package also require running a comm stack that the STM32WB55 doesn't support?3. Are there examples of implementing the Aliro protocol without using the X-Cube-Aliro package on STM32 devices?Thanks,Tal
