Using all I2CDrivers

[hkerner]

Is there any reason why one wouldn't be able to use all the I2C Drivers in the application? Before starting any threads I start all three I2C Drivers in main(), but it crashes when I use I2CD3 simultaneously with the either or both I2CD1 and I2CD2 (I2CD1 and 2 work fine together). I read that you cannot use I2CD3 and SPID2 at the same time, but I am not using SPI anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

Note that I am also using USART 1, 3, and 6. I have configured the application to start/run/stop when using i2c, but cannot do this with the USARTS (because of the nature of the application).

Probably conflicting DMAs, not all the STM32 peripherals are usable at the same time. See the DMA section on the reference manual. F4 devices allow for a limited remapping, see the settings in mcuconf.h.

ChibiOS tries to workaround the limitation by allowing to use the conflicting peripherals at different times: don't start 2 conflicting drivers at the same time, you can start/stop them.
