DMA Stream/Channel Outputting via GPIOC[0..7]

Ok, so quickly mashing up another example using a different TIM, DMA Stream/Channel for illustration,

outputting via GPIOC[0..7] although PC0 is conflicted, it should work as an example.

Scoping out PC5 got me my 1 KHz test signal.

// STM32F4 DMA GPIO OUT - sourcer32@gmail.com

// Per RM0090 DMA2, Channel7, Stream1 correlates to TIM8_UP source
// 2 KHz clock generated on TIM8_UP (Update - Timebase Period)
// PC0 conflicts, adapt as required
// Should be able to measure 1 KHz on PC5 with 0x00/0xFF data pattern

#include "stm32f4_discovery.h"

#define BufferSize 1000 // Samples at 2 KHz, loops at 2 Hz

uint8_t GPIO_DATA[BufferSize];
