Hi I need to generate a one pulse mode, but I need to trigger PWM inside software by writing code not by trigger a pin in CPU.. How could I do it ? which register should be 1 ?

I mean, I setup TIM1 CH1 as output PWM, One pulse mode, but I need to trigger it by my codes

for example which register should be set to high or low to generate a pulse on TIM1 CH1

You don't need any "trigger source" if you want to start the timer by software.

"Trigger" there means an input which, through hardware and the slave-mode controller (see TIMx_SMCR) enables the same TIMx_CR1.CEN bit.
