STM32F103ZETx ADC Reading Error (pins PB0 & PB1) - stm32

We are using STM32CubeMX to generate the initial code for ADC pin-matching.
In our particular case, all of the 16 available pins- that is, PA0 to PA7, PB0 to PB1, and PC0 to PC5- in the ADC1 mode are used. It is interesting yet absurd to find that while all the other pins generate the normal voltage values(varing from 1500 to 3000), PB0 outputs 0 constantly and PB1 outputs 4040 averagely.
We have examined multiple times and we are pretty sure the problem isn't on our external sensor. Meanwhile, we have used a second board(identical model number), however, the same issue reoccurred. We exerted ourselves to fix the problem yet still trapped by it.

STM32 seems to ignore GPIO mode and triggers the interrupt on both edges, instead of one

Here's my configuration:
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct = {0};
GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = 8;
GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_IT_FALLING;
GPIO_InitStruct.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;
HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOJ, &GPIO_InitStruct);
When I put the signal on the input pin (square, 2Hz, 3.3Vp-p) I get an interrupt every 250ms, so - on every RISING and falling edge of the signal. I changed the test signal duty cycle to test if it's really what is happening and it confirmed it. I get the interrupt on both edges.
I even debugged the HAL driver to test if it does what I think it does. And yes, it seems to configure the EXTI correctly, only for the falling edge for my pin.
What may be the cause of such behavior? My device is STM32H747I-DISCO discovery board with TouchGFX software used for presentation. The software works correctly, I tested it on measuring the time between other timer interrupts.
I monitor the test signal on the oscilloscope to ensure the input signal on my pin is correct. I tried to use another pin on the same port, but I observe identical behavior. I get interrupts on both rising and falling edges of the signal, despite the pin is configured to trigger the interrupt only on the falling edge.
I also tested the case with the rising edge only. Also in this case I get the interrupt on both edges.
The problem turned out to be a hardware error, a voltage spike I overlooked. The STM32 EXTI input worked correctly all the time. There was indeed a spurious falling edge.
Simulated problem illustration, the 10n capacitor causes voltage spikes and spurious edge detection. In the real circuit, when a digital oscilloscope was used and the time base was too long to capture the spike - the signal looked like a proper square wave. After shortening the time base I noticed the spike. As it is shown on the illustration, this behavior can be easily simulated in a circuit simulator:
SIMULATION LINK
Removing the capacitor from the circuit solved the problem.
To avoid getting noise and other spurious signals on the input shielded wires can be used. The real world circuit was tested and it works properly without the capacitor.
The opto-coupler is just a simplified model of the optical sensor used in the real machine.

DFRO316 MCP3424 and STM32

I am trying to know the status of MCP3424, either it is connected or not to the master STM32 with defined address 0x68. The ADC module gets connected with the Arduino in same address but using STM32, I am not able to get connected with the following code:
while (1)
{
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
if((HAL_I2C_IsDeviceReady(&hi2c1, 0x68 << 1, 100, 1000))==HAL_OK){
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, "device connected\r\n", 10, 10);
}
else{
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, "no device\r\n", 100, 10);
}
}
Is there any mistake that I have done in this code by chance or any other way there is to deal with MCP3424 ADC module specifically? Please suggest me.
I believe your problem lies with voltage levels: your STM32 functions with 3.3V, while MCP3424 is powered from 5V. Let's open the datasheet of the MCP3424, page 6:
High level input voltage is 0.7Vdd, which is 0.7V*5V=3.5V, which means your A/D can't detect "1" on the line. It sees the line as always "0", even when STM32 MCU outputs HIGH (3.3V).
Possible solutions:
Logic level conversion (various ways). A circuit between A/D IC and MCU to convert 3.3V levels into 5V levels. There are dedicated chips for that, there are also other approaches using resistors and mosfets. Something you may want to explore on electrical engineering stackexchange.
Check the datasheet of the MCU, find GPIO properties. It's very likely those I2C pins are in fact 5V-tolerant, meaning you can pull up I2C lines to 5V and still drive them with 3.3V STM32, and it will be within the spec of STM32 MCU. If that's the case, no extra circuit will be necessary.

When tried hardware interrupts on stm32f1 ,wrong interrupts handlers are also getting hit

i was trying interrupt on PA0 and PB5 pins on stm32f103c8 board(with cubemx generated code),but when triggered square wave impulse on B5 the along with ISR of EXTI9_5_IRQHandler the isr of A0 also getting executed EXTI0_IRQHandler.
.No jumper wires are involved direct probe connection from signal generator is used(siganls are generating fine cross verified with oscilloscope).Tried checking up with oscilloscope on A0 pin,while giving trigger wave to B5,no changes are seen on A0 pin.Then also isr gettting executed but the vise versa didnt happen.
Tried with stm32l152 discovery board the same thing there also the wrong isr are also getting executed.(0th and 5th pin of different ports but).When checked the EXTI->PR REGISTER while in debugging mode ,The bits of 0,1,5 are set when trigger wave given to pin 5.Even though the pin1 nor its interrupts settings are not intialized its also getting set.
Spend almost two days till now debugging this issue, any help will be thank full.Till now tried F1 and L1 SERIES both are having issue

STM32F429 GPIO DMA Read and Write

Hello,
I'm making a project where I want to bit-bang the JTAG protocol.
According to the AN4666 provided by ST, DMA + GPIO can achieve high speeds in bit-banging synchronous protocols.
I want to:
Generate N PWM pulses (the CLK signal).
With the falling edge of each pulses, I want to set some GPIO with DMA.
With the rising edge, I want to read from the GPIO using DMA.
What is the best way to achieve these specs using HAL?
even withtout dma you can reach quite high freq bit banged i/o i'll say in range 2 - 10MHz assuming fast enougth mcu and gpio bus clock high enough (48 96MHz)
Clock just wan't be as stable and may suffer "stall" say idle time when iterrupt occur vs dma. but is way simpler
for DMA base , if you use 3 bit of one port, one for clk and one for TDI and one for TDO then use 2 dma one to wr and one that rd on same timer source (if possible) at double rate of the TCK signal
the data in is rebuilt by taking teh i bit of one read data over 2
index like 0 2 4 or 1 3 5 ... depending on edge you want and how you wr clk array in mem is coded.
last if your jtag chain is 8 bit multiple SPI is even simpler and dma easy ;)

STM32F4 Timer Triggered DMA SPI – NSS Problem

I have a STM32F417IG microcontroller an external 16bit-DAC (TI DAC81404) that is supposed to generate a Signal with a sampling rate of 32kHz. The communication via SPI should not involve any CPU resources. That is why I want to use a timer triggered DMA to shift the data with a rate of 32kHz to the SPI data register in order to send the data to the DAC.
Information about the DAC
Whenever the DAC receives a channel address and the new corresponding 16bit value the DAC will renew its output voltage to the new received value. This is achieved by:
Pulling the CS/NSS/SYNC – pin to low
Sending the 24bit/3 byte long message and
Pulling the CS back to a high state
The first 8bit of the message are containing among other information the information where the output voltage should be applied. The next and concurrently the last 16bit are containing the new value.
Information about STM32
Unfortunately the microcontroller of ST are having a hardware problem with the NSS-pin. Starting the communication via SPI the NSS-pin is pulled low. Now the pin is low as long as SPI is enabled (. (reference manual page 877). That is sadly not the right way for communicate with device that are in need of a rise of the NSS after each message. A “solution” would be to toggle the NSS-pin manually as suggested in the manual (When a master is communicating with SPI slaves which need to be de-selected between transmissions, the NSS pin must be configured as GPIO or another GPIO must be used and toggled by software.)
Problem
If DMA is used the ordinary way the CPU is only used when starting the process. By toggling the NSS twice every 1/32000 s this leads to corresponding CPU interactions.
My question is whether I missed something in order to achieve a communication without CPU.
If not my goal is now to reduce the CPU processing time to a minimum. My pIan is to trigger DMA with a timer. So every 1/32k seconds the data register of SPI is filled with the 24bit data for the DAC.
The NSS could be toggled by a timer interrupt.
I have problems achieving it because I do not know how to link the timer with the DMA of the SPI using HAL-functions. Can anyone help me?
This is a tricky one. It might be difficult to avoid having one interrupt per sample with this combination of DAC and microcontroller.
However, one approach I would look at is to have the CS signal created as a timer output-compare (like PWM). You can use multiple channels of the same timer or link multiple timers to create a delay between the CS output and the DMA trigger. You should allow some room for jitter, because depending on what else is happening the DMA might not respond instantly. This won't hurt your DAC output signal though, because it only outputs the value on the rising edge of chip select (called SYNC in the DAC datasheet) which will still be from your first timer.
