STM32L011K4 with DMA using I2C Start Condition not Occurring - c

Question

I'm attempting to use the STM32L011K4's DMA controller to communicate with slave devices over I2C. Currently, I have no slave devices and am just trying to get the microcontroller to send the start condition out onto the I2C bus, but that is not happening.
When I run this code in debugging mode through the STM32CubeIDE, I notice that the start bit is set, but it never clears even though the reference manual says it should be cleared by hardware once the start condition occurs (page 656 for I2C_CR2).
Monitoring the SDA and SCL lines on my oscilloscope also show that they are a logical 1. Note: I'm using the NUCLEO-L011K4 on a breadboard, so the IO pins are tied to Vref through 1k resistors. All configuration registers appear to contain the desired value when the code is stuck sending the start condition, so I don't believe they are getting clobbered by a random line of code.
I'm not sure what's preventing the start condition from being sent, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

According with reference manual(p. 604)
you need uncomment I2C1->CR2 |= ((uint8_t) (SlaveAddress << 1)); and comment I2C1->TXDR |= ((uint8_t) (SlaveAddress << 1)); for set slave address, and you need set the number of bytes to be transferred.
I can't see your initialisation of GPIO. Check is GPIO settings right (Alternative function and open-drain mode).
Also in reference manual written this
PE must be kept low during at least 3 APB clock cycles in order to perform the software
reset. This is ensured by writing the following software sequence: - Write PE=0 - Check
PE=0 - Write PE=1.
I think you should try to do so.
Also I advise using 4.7k resistor for pulling to VDD.
