Bug in documentation of timer outputs in STM32L496G Disco board?

A bit confused by STM32L496 DISCOVERY board.

Documentation says Arduino compatible connector maps timer functions like following printscreen.

But in CubeMX, the pins are very different, as can be seen on the following printscreens.

E.g. Discovery board doc says PI6 belongs to TIM5_CH1.

In reality, according to CubeMX as well as CPU datasheet it belongs to TIM8_CH2.

Can anyone help to clarify?

I'd say it's some copy/paste error. Schematics correctly says TIM8_CH2 for the Arduino D6.

Just ignore that table, go by the schematics/datasheet.

@Imen DAHMEN​ , can this please be chalked up for correction? Thanks.

Yup...thanks for the swift hint...schematics and CPU reference is always right.
