Capture a timer value upon another timer update

Hi,

I have two timer running TIM2 and TIM4. I would like to capture TIM4 counter value when TIM2 overflows (update). I do not wish to sample the value inside the ISR because i need precision. I would like to use something like an input capture but with the trigger being the TIM2 update instead of an outside event.

I feel like there is a simple solution there but just can't see it. Anyone has done that before?

Thanks,

Justin

DMA Trigger?

Yes it looks like i'll try that.

Setup DMA1 CH2 to get triggered by TIM2_UP then the DMA transfers the value from TIM4->CNT to a RAM location later read is the TIM2_UP ISR...

Thanks
