STM32 Async I2C4 BDMA error. Need help with memory.x configuration. #4936

Hello I have been trying to use the Async I2C4 Master peripheral on an STM32H723GZ MCU. Every time I run the firmware I get a DMA panic on the BDMA peripheral. I2C4 can only be used with BDMA instead of DMA due to how the chip is designed. This does not happen if I use the other I2Cs with the regular DMA. I made sure to setup the clocks correctly by using CubeMX to verify the clock setup.

My code:

#![no_std]
#![no_main]

mod fmt;

#[cfg(feature = "defmt")]
use {defmt_rtt as _, panic_probe as _};

use embassy_executor::Spawner;
use embassy_stm32::{
    Peri, bind_interrupts,
    gpio::{AnyPin, Level, Output, Speed},
    i2c,
    i2c::{Config, I2c},
    peripherals,
    time::Hertz,
};
use embassy_time::Timer;
use fmt::info;
use scd30_interface::asynch::Scd30;
use scd30_interface::data::DataStatus;

bind_interrupts!(struct Irqs {
    I2C4_EV => i2c::EventInterruptHandler<peripherals::I2C4>;
    I2C4_ER => i2c::ErrorInterruptHandler<peripherals::I2C4>;
});

}

My memory.x file is based on the example for stm32h723 with the change to line 61 to use AXISRAM as the main ram region:

SECTIONS {

    *(.itcm .itcm.*);
    . = ALIGN(8);
    } > ITCM

  .axisram (NOLOAD) : ALIGN(8) {
    *(.axisram .axisram.*);
    . = ALIGN(8);
    } > AXISRAM

  .sram1 (NOLOAD) : ALIGN(4) {
    *(.sram1 .sram1.*);
    . = ALIGN(4);
    } > SRAM1

  .sram2 (NOLOAD) : ALIGN(4) {

    } > SRAM2

  .sram4 (NOLOAD) : ALIGN(4) {
    *(.sram4 .sram4.*);
    . = ALIGN(4);
    } > SRAM4

  .bsram (NOLOAD) : ALIGN(4) {

};

I think something needs to be done in memory.x since BDMA can only write to SRAM4.
