STM32 - How can I handle frame and noise errors in UART? - stm32

I'm receiving data in UART Rx with DMA and I need to make it inmunne to disconnections. Now, sometimes I can recover the communication after a disconnection, but I need to recover it always.
Using the debugger I realized that huart1.ErrorCode change its value from 0 to 2,4 or 6. I guess they are noise, frame and noise+frame(?) errors, and after this error the UART stops.
How can I handle this error with my HAL_UART_ErrorCallback and resume UART communication?
Thank you!

STM32 GPIO toggling timing issue (short delay phenomenon)

who do someone know about the STM32 GPIO toggling timing issue?
I want get the always normal togging timming signal without the abnormal togging timming iusse.
Due to the contacted image, I have a diffcult problem that the signal timing of the One Wire protocol changed the total timing in order to decided the period of the One wire logic interface.
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_12);
DWT_Delay_us(2); // about 2us delay time

STM32F04xx UART transmit unreadable chars when HAL_Delay is set higher than 90 milliseconds

I'm working on transceiving data on stm32F04xx. When I transmit data from the MCU at lower speed, it looks like if the baudrate was wrong and I get a bunch of question marks. When I increate transmission speed. I can read the data I'm sending. I've used to stm32cubeIDE to generate a simple UART code and only added
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, "test\r\n", sizeof("test\r\n"), 1000);
HAL_Delay(500);
in the while loop.
On my NUCLEO-F042K6 evaluation board, I don't see any issues printing data on the tty port. But I have another device which uses the same stm32f042xx chip that only works when transmitting UART data at higher speed. so when i change my delay to something like 80 milliseconds, I can read the data flow.
I've attempted to flash the same binary that I flashed on my evaluation board on the other MCU I have but again the data only readable at higher transmission speed.
I'm flashing the MCU with stm32flash tool so I don't know if that can make a difference where on the eval board, I'm using the stm32cubeIDE to flash it.
I'm not sure what's going on here, I've tried different baudrates and different clock configurations and that doesn't seem to help too.
What could possibly cause the data to be unreadable like if the baudrate was wrong when transmitting at low speed?

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.

Reading PWM signals in STM32F407

I am doing a quadcopter using a STM32F407 discovery. I was finally able to stabilize it. Now i am trying to use the RC receiver so i can control my quadcopter movements. Is there a way to read the signal of PWM of my RC receiver channels ??
Also my RC receiver supports PPM and according to what i understand it receives a packet of duty cycles strong textbut still don't know how to receive this.
You can use the SPI interface to encode the PPM (or the PWM) signal of your RC receiver.
General approach:
Connect the PPM signal to the MISO pin and a second one of the controller (simultaneously). MOSI, CLK, and CS pins are not needed.
Initialize the SPI interface with a appropriate clock. With this frequency the signal will be shifted in the controller. Try to use 4kHz.
Depending on the idle state of the signal enable either rising or falling edge interrupt trigger on the second pin. This will used to trigger incoming frames.
If the interrupt occurs disable the trigger temporary and start spi transmission to get several bytes (outgoing ingored and not connected). Depending on the Frame length 8 or 10 Bytes should do it. This will catch frames up to 20ms.
After you get the all bytes enable the trigger again and repeat for the next frame.
The received data should contain the pattern of the pwm/ppm signal.
You should also match the sampling rate and the amount of bytes to receive with your RC receiver.

PC receives wrong data using high baudrate of usart

i wanted to use 4Mb baud rate of stm32f103 usart. how can i check that data received in PC are correct? I used hyper terminal but in its setting there is no 4Mb baud rate and when i run my code i receive wrong characters.but in low baud rates like 115200b data received correctly.
If the transmitter and receiver are not sending at the same speed, the receiver will erroneously read the data. Each byte has a start bit that synchronizes the receiver, and the remaining bits are determined by time.
Typical PC RS-232 serial ports only go up to 115200 bps. It is likely that your PC can't handle the 4 Mbps rate. I would recommend using 115200 or lower speed.
If you are communicating between devices and need higher speed, and just using the PC to debug, you could change the speed for debug purposes and set it faster once your comms are working. Alternatively, you could use a logic analyzer - This could be tedious to do manually, but some may have functions to read serial data.
If you have two of the stm32f19 modules, connect them using the USART at 4Mb, at then send a block of data with a checksum (or even a hardcoded block that you can compare). On the receiving unit, either confirm the checksum, or compare the data to see if the link works.
