STM32CubeMX and Discovery STM32F407VG Timer8 PWM

I am trying to configure Timer 8 to generate a PWM signal on either PC8 or PC9 on the Discovery board.  I have used STM32Cube to generate the initialization code.  I have been unable to get this configuration to generate any output.  The ISR associated with Timer8 runs, but there is no PWM output.

I have successfully configured Timer 3 to generate PWM on these pins.  I have compared the pin configurations and timer configurations between Timer 3 and Timer 8 and can find no difference except or the appropriate gpio alternate function value. Has anyone been able to get the PWM working on Timer8? Thank you, Eric Nystrom #je-ne-l'aime-cube #!android #no-hablo-hal

Well they do work, both TIM1 and TIM8 are advanced timers, they more more initialization parameters and PWM Output must be explicitly enabled.

Thanks for the hint.  I finally got it working.  I was missing setting the MOE bit in the BDTR.

TIM8->BDTR |= TIM_BDTR_MOE; Eric Nystrom
