<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn the previous guide (here<\/a>), we saw how to configure the uart to receive single character. In this guide, we shall use DMA to transmit data over UART.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this guide, we shall cover the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We start from part one (here<\/a>), Now, we need to enable DMATX for the USART3. In order to enable it, we need to set bit DMAT in CR3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to check with DMA, Stream and channel needed for the USART, we need to check the DMA request mapping within the reference manual of STM32F767.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can see that DMA1 Stream3 Channel4 is responsible for USART3_TX, hence we shall use DMA1_Stream3 channel 4 in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We start configuring the DMA1 as following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enable clock access to DMA1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make disable the stream and make sure it is disabled:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Configure the DMA as following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Set the peripheral address to TDR register of USART3 as following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enable the interrupt in NVIC controller:<\/p>\n\n\n\n for the interrupt handler:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We check if the source is transfer complete interrupt from channel3 and set tx_finished to 1 then clear the pending interrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We start of by declaring a function thats will take two arguments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within the function, we shall set the memory of DMA1 to the data buffer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The length to be the length passed to the function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start the stream:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wait until the transfer is completed (depending on your application):<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In main.c file, we shall use counter to be displayed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may download the code from here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n After you compile and upload the code to your Nucleo-144 F767, open serial terminal and set the baudrate to be 115200 and you will see this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Happy coding \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the previous guide (here), we saw how to configure the uart to receive single character.
