Hang up with UART and DMA - stm32

I am trying to use UART and DMA. When I insert a call to HAL_Delay() in the USART3_IRQHandler(), the program hang in the HAL_Delay(). The SysTick interrupt is not called anymore. I don't understand?
int main(void)
{
...
MX_DMA_Init();
MX_USART3_UART_Init();
uint32_t nextCall = uwTick;
while (1)
{
if (nextCall < uwTick) {
__HAL_UART_ENABLE_IT(&huart3, UART_IT_IDLE);
HAL_UART_Transmit_DMA( &huart3, dataTx, sizeof( dataTx ) );
nextCall = uwTick + 1000;
}
}
}
void USART3_IRQHandler(void)
{
HAL_UART_IRQHandler(&huart3);
if (( USART3->SR & UART_IT_IDLE) != 0 )
{
__HAL_UART_CLEAR_IDLEFLAG( &huart3 );
HAL_UART_DMAStop(&huart3);
uint8_t data_length = sizeof( dataRx ) - __HAL_DMA_GET_COUNTER(&hdma_usart3_rx);
memset( dataRx,0,sizeof( dataRx ));
HAL_UART_Receive_DMA(&huart3, (uint8_t*)dataRx, sizeof( dataRx ));
HAL_Delay( 1 );
// Delay() does not return
}
}

Abstracting from the completely wrong impossible to repair UART code HAL_Delay to work in the interrupt context requires SYSTICK interrupt priority to be higher than the UART interrupt. Otherwise it is not invoked and the internal counter does not increase and the function ends in the dead loop.

Using DMA with two UART peripherals - is it possible?

I want to connect two UART peripherals using STM32G0 microcontroller via DMA. Not knowing the length of the messages in forward, I'm using function HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA() in order to receive them. Here is the part of my code:
main.h
.
.
.
StartDMAReceptionOverUART1();
StartDMAReceptionOverUART4();
/* USER CODE END 2 */
/* Infinite loop */
/* USER CODE BEGIN WHILE */
while (1)
{
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
HAL_Delay(10);
}
.
.
.
void StartDMAReceptionOverUART1(void)
{
if (HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA(m_modulePort.huart, m_modulePort.rxBuffer, m_modulePort.rxBufferSize) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
__HAL_DMA_DISABLE_IT(&hdma_usart1_rx, DMA_IT_HT);
__HAL_DMA_DISABLE_IT(&hdma_usart1_rx, DMA_IT_TC);
}
void StartDMAReceptionOverUART4(void)
{
if (HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA(m_meterPort.huart, m_meterPort.rxBuffer, m_meterPort.rxBufferSize) != HAL_OK)
{
Error_Handler();
}
__HAL_DMA_DISABLE_IT(&hdma_usart4_rx, DMA_IT_HT);
__HAL_DMA_DISABLE_IT(&hdma_usart4_rx, DMA_IT_TC);
}
.
.
.
These functions are similar: first HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA() is checked, then Half Transfer and Transfer Complete interrupts are disabled in order to relieve processor (I need only IDLE interrupt). The problem is inside StartDMAReceptionOverUART1() function, HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA() never returns HAL_OK and program jumps on Error_Handler(). On the other hand, StartDMAReceptionOverUART4() works perfectly fine. What could be the problem?
Also, here is the receive callback function, also written inside main.h:
void HAL_UARTEx_RxEventCallback(UART_HandleTypeDef *huart, uint16_t Size)
{
if(huart->Instance == m_meterPort.huart->Instance) // huart == UART4
{
memcpy(m_modulePort.txBuffer, m_meterPort.rxBuffer, Size);
HAL_UART_Transmit_DMA(m_modulePort.huart, m_modulePort.txBuffer, Size);
StartDMAReceptionOverUART4();
}
else if (huart->Instance == m_modulePort.huart->Instance) // huart == UART1
{
memcpy(m_meterPort.txBuffer, m_modulePort.rxBuffer, Size);
HAL_UART_Transmit_DMA(m_meterPort.huart, m_meterPort.txBuffer, Size);
}
else
{
return;
}
}
Callback function, in dependence of the periphery, will copy received data to a buffer and send it to the other periphery (functions memcpy() and HAL_UART_Transmit_DMA()). DMA over UART4 is in Normal mode, therefore StartDMAReceptionOverUART4() is called, inside which is HAL_UARTEx_ReceiveToIdle_DMA(). On the other hand, DMA over UART1 is in Circular mode, so there is no need for calling StartDMAReceptionOverUART4().

STM32F4 SPI interrupts stop firing with FreeRTOS

I'm trying to make an SPI communication between a F410 MCU and a RPi using SPI.
I post below the code that currently works (without FreeRTOS usage):
main.c
volatile int tx_done = 0;
volatile int rx_done = 0;
void HAL_SPI_TxCpltCallback(SPI_HandleTypeDef *hspi)
{
tx_done = 1;
}
void HAL_SPI_RxCpltCallback(SPI_HandleTypeDef *hspi)
{
rx_done = 1;
}
int main(void)
{
HAL_Init();
SystemClock_Config();
MX_GPIO_Init();
MX_SPI5_Init();
MX_USART2_UART_Init();
const uint8_t BUF_SIZE = 16 * sizeof(uint8_t);
uint8_t buf[16];
// For UART debug
uint8_t dbg_buffer[64];
while (1) {
memset(buf, 0, BUF_SIZE);
HAL_StatusTypeDef ret = HAL_SPI_Receive_IT(&hspi5, (uint8_t*)&buf, BUF_SIZE);
while (rx_done == 0) {};
rx_done = 0;
sprintf((char*) dbg_buffer, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d]\r\n",
buf[0], buf[1], buf[2], buf[3], buf[4], buf[5], buf[6],
buf[7], buf[8], buf[9], buf[10], buf[11], buf[12],
buf[13], buf[14], buf[15]);
HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2, dbg_buffer, strlen((char const*) dbg_buffer), 50);
HAL_SPI_Transmit_IT(&hspi5, (uint8_t*) &buf, BUF_SIZE);
while (tx_done == 0) {};
tx_done = 0;
}
}
stm32f4xx_it.c
/**
* #brief This function handles TIM1 trigger and commutation interrupts and TIM11 global interrupt.
*/
void TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQHandler(void)
{
HAL_TIM_IRQHandler(&htim11);
}
/**
* #brief This function handles SPI5 global interrupt.
*/
void SPI5_IRQHandler(void)
{
HAL_SPI_IRQHandler(&hspi5);
}
spi.c
/* SPI5 init function */
void MX_SPI5_Init(void)
{
hspi5.Instance = SPI5;
hspi5.Init.Mode = SPI_MODE_SLAVE;
hspi5.Init.Direction = SPI_DIRECTION_2LINES;
hspi5.Init.DataSize = SPI_DATASIZE_8BIT;
hspi5.Init.CLKPolarity = SPI_POLARITY_LOW;
hspi5.Init.CLKPhase = SPI_PHASE_1EDGE;
hspi5.Init.NSS = SPI_NSS_HARD_INPUT;
hspi5.Init.FirstBit = SPI_FIRSTBIT_MSB;
hspi5.Init.TIMode = SPI_TIMODE_DISABLE;
hspi5.Init.CRCCalculation = SPI_CRCCALCULATION_DISABLE;
hspi5.Init.CRCPolynomial = 15;
if (HAL_SPI_Init(&hspi5) != HAL_OK)
{
_Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);
}
}
void HAL_SPI_MspInit(SPI_HandleTypeDef* spiHandle)
{
[...]
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(SPI5_IRQn, 5, 0);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(SPI5_IRQn);
}
This working fine with my test code on the other (raspberry pi) side, sending a SPI frame every second, waiting 100ms and reading the answer from the F410.
Now, when I activate FreeRTOS, I move the while(1) loop content to a task, and creates it with
BaseType_t task1 = xTaskCreate(task_1, "task_1", 512, NULL, tskIDLE_PRIORITY, &xHandle);
and osKernelStart(). I also use the TIM11 as Timebase Source (under SYS tab on CubeMX as advised by the software itself)
Then I have the following behavior: If I place breakpoints inside both Tx/Rx SPI interrupt, I found that a couple (3-4 ?) of them are fired, then never again. If I stop my code I see I'm stucked in the
while (rx_done == 0) {};
loop, confirming that I don't get SPI RX interrupts anymore whereas there is still frame coming on the SPI bus.
To dig a little into that theory, I made another test with this in my task:
while(1) {
memset(buf, 0, 16);
HAL_StatusTypeDef ret = HAL_SPI_Receive_IT(&hspi5, (uint8_t*)&buf, 16);
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5, GPIO_PIN_SET);
// Wait for RX interrupt, task is suspended to give processing time to (incoming) others tasks
vTaskSuspend(NULL);
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5, GPIO_PIN_RESET);
}
and in my Rx interrupt, I simply call
xTaskResumeFromISR(task1Handle);
With this code, the first packet sent is read correctly by the STM32F4, and task print it on USART2 and suspend itself again. From then, (checked with a breakpoint inside), the Rx interrupt is never called again, so the task resume inside neither, and my code is frozen...
It really looks like there is a messing between FreeRTOS and STM32 HAL SPI/interrupt handling ?
Any help will be gladly accepted !
Do you call NVIC_PriorityGroupConfig( NVIC_PriorityGroup_4 ); as described in the red text on this page: https://www.freertos.org/RTOS-Cortex-M3-M4.html ?
If you are using an STM32 with the STM32 driver library then ensure all the priority bits are assigned to be preempt priority bits by calling NVIC_PriorityGroupConfig( NVIC_PriorityGroup_4 ); before the RTOS is started.

STM32F407 UART Communication

I am trying to set up a communication between my STM32F4 - Discovery with Open 407V-D development board and a peripheral using UART3 as a RS-485 bus.
I have problem with my communication becouse Rx state of UART remain busy.
Could somebody please explain me what am I doing wrong?
Should I somehow edit HAL_UART_IRQHandler or what setting am I missing?
Here is my code:
#include "main.h"
#include "stm32f4xx_hal.h"
UART_HandleTypeDef huart3;
uint8_t Ocular_1_RxBuffer[4];
uint8_t Ocular_1_TxBuffer[2] = {0x01,0x86};
__IO ITStatus UartReady;
void SystemClock_Config(void);
static void MX_GPIO_Init(void);
static void MX_USART3_UART_Init(void);
int main(void)
{
HAL_Init();
SystemClock_Config();
MX_GPIO_Init();
MX_USART3_UART_Init();
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB,GPIO_PIN_9,GPIO_PIN_SET); //set RS 485 into transmit mode
while (1)
{
int Timeout = 1000000;
while(huart3.gState != HAL_UART_STATE_READY) //wait for UART
{
Timeout--;
if(Timeout == 0)
Error_Handler();
}
Timeout = 1000000;
if(HAL_UART_Transmit_IT(&huart3, (uint8_t*)Ocular_1_TxBuffer, 2) != HAL_OK) //Send request
{
Error_Handler();
}
while(huart3.RxState != HAL_UART_STATE_READY) //wait for UART
{
Timeout--;
if(Timeout == 0)
Error_Handler();
}
Timeout = 1000000;
if(HAL_UART_Receive_IT(&huart3, (uint8_t*)Ocular_1_RxBuffer, 4) != HAL_OK) //Response
{
Error_Handler();
}
while(UartReady == RESET) //Wait for response
{
Timeout--;
if(Timeout == 0)
Error_Handler();
}
}
}
I have successfully received response from my peripheral device, but my code generate Error_Handler() after HAL_UART_RxCpltCallback() function.
Could somebody please explain this behavior to me?
My callback functions:
void HAL_UART_TxCpltCallback(UART_HandleTypeDef *UartHandle)
{
/* Set transmission flag: transfer complete */
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB,GPIO_PIN_9,GPIO_PIN_RESET);
UartReady = RESET;
}
void HAL_UART_RxCpltCallback(UART_HandleTypeDef *UartHandle)
{
/* Set transmission flag: transfer complete */
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB,GPIO_PIN_9,GPIO_PIN_SET);
UartReady = SET;
}
Please mention the number of bytes you are receiving in current scenario.?
Some debugging tips are -
Try increasing the size of your buffer and check if you are receiving any data.
Make sure you are re initialising your buffer after 4 bytes are read. If not the buffer can overflow and may lead to error handler.
Make sure you transmitter always sends 4 bytes.
Confirm if your buad rate matches on both devices. Also settings like parity and all are same in receiver and transmitter.
After every 4 bytes you need to call the HAL_UART_Receive_IT() again to configure and wait for next interrupt.
Add Error callback too, and confirm if execution moves to this callback. If then add prints in driver to find out whats the error cause, whether its like overrun error / Noise error / Parity Error etc.

vTaskDelay never return

My application run on stm32F4 with FreeRTOS V9.0.0 and port files Source\portable\RVDS\ARM_CM4F (imported via RTE Keil).
The main, call some initialization functions, create the task and then call the vTaskStartScheduler.
The task simply call vTaskDelay(1000) which never return. The system is not is fault. The fault report dosen't show any error or problem.
The code is:
int main(void)
{
init_foo1()
init_foo2()
xTaskCreate(aTask, "name",1280, NULL, 6, NULL);
init_foo3();
vTaskStartScheduler();
}
void aTask()
{
vTaskDelay(1000);
bar();
}
What is wrong?
Thanks all
You need to put infinite loop firstly:
Example usage of vTaskDelay function accordinly to documentation:
void vTaskFunction( void * pvParameters )
{
/* Block for 500ms. */
const TickType_t xDelay = 500 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS;
for( ;; )
{
/* Simply toggle the LED every 500ms, blocking between each toggle. */
vToggleLED();
vTaskDelay( xDelay );
}
}
Also test the priority in xTaskCreate
UBaseType_t uxPriority

How to suspend a task using FreeRTOS

Am trying to learn freeRTOS. How can I make a task to go to sleep after running for 2 seconds? I've tried using vTaskSuspend() to stop the task immediately and i also tried to put v taskDelay(2000), but it doesn't work either.
I want to sleep the fast blinking task 2 seconds after it was called and run the normal blinking task.
void resourse(const TickType_t xFrequency)
{
TickType_t xLastWakeTime;
xLastWakeTime = xTaskGetTickCount();
while(1)
{
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(LD2_GPIO_Port, LD2_Pin);
vTaskDelayUntil( &xLastWakeTime, xFrequency);
}
}
xSemaphoreHandle botton_one = 0;
void botton(void* r)
{
while(1)
{
if(xSemaphoreTake(botton_one, 1))
{
HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(B1_GPIO_Port, B1_Pin);
xSemaphoreGive(botton_one);
}
vTaskDelay(1);
}
}
void normal_blinking(void* r)
{
while(1)
{
if(xSemaphoreTake(botton_one, 1))
{
resourse(500);
xSemaphoreGive(botton_one);
}
}
}
void fast_blinking(void* s)
{
while(1){
if((HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(B1_GPIO_Port, B1_Pin))== 0)
{
xSemaphoreTake(botton_one, 1);
resourse(50);
xSemaphoreGive(botton_one);
}
vTaskDelay(2000);
vTaskSuspend(NULL);
}
}
int main(void)
{
TaskHandle_t xHandle;
botton_one = xSemaphoreCreateMutex();
HAL_Init();
SystemClock_Config();
MX_GPIO_Init();
xTaskCreate(botton, (const char*)"task_1", 1024, 0, 3, 0);
xTaskCreate(normal_blinking, (const char*)"task_2", 1024, 0, 2,0);
xTaskCreate(fast_blinking, (const char*)"task_3", 1024, 0, 1,0);
vTaskStartScheduler();
while (1){
}
}
It is not clear what you are wanting to do, or what is not working as you want. You suggest using both vTaskSuspend() and vTaskDelay(), but they are used for different things.
If you call vTaskDelay() then the task will enter the Blocked state (stop being available as a task that can be actually executing) for whatever period you specify, then automatically leave the Blocked state after that period.
If you call vTaskSuspend() then the task will enter the Suspended state, and will never run again unless another task or interrupt calls vTaskResume().
Do you just want the task to run for two seconds, and then never again? In which case you could do something simple like:
void mytask( void *pv )
{
TickType_t xTimeOnEntering = xTaskGetTickCount();
while( xTaskGetTickCount() - xTimeOnEntering < pdMS_TO_TICKS( 2000 ) )
{
/* Run your code here. */
}
/* Two seconds of execution is up, delete the task. */
vTaskDelete( NULL );
}
