HTIM UIF clear from capture callback

On a STM32 F777 I am configuring TIM4 to read Hall sensors (HAL_TIMEx_HallSensor_Init).

I have enabled capture interrupt and in capture callback  (which is triggered at every Hall event as expected) I am clearing UIF flag (i.e. timer overflow flag).

The issue is that everytime the capture callback is triggered UIF flag is always found to be one even if I measure Hall events faster than timer overflow (which is expected every 32.7 ms). With reference to the attached figure: code never breaks in line 282.

Any hint appreciated.

HAL_TIMEx_HallSensor_Init sets SMS to Reset on every edge

  /* Use the TIM_TS_TI1F_ED signal to reset the TIM counter each edge detection */  

  htim->Instance->SMCR &= ~TIM_SMCR_SMS;

  htim->Instance->SMCR |= TIM_SLAVEMODE_RESET;

Slave reset causes the update flag to be set:

100: Reset Mode - Rising edge of the selected trigger input (TRGI) reinitializes the counter

and generates an update of the registers.

Thank you Jan, you are right.

The solution in my use case is to set TIM4_CR1.URS bit so that UIF flag is set just by overflow events,  while slave generated update events will be ignored.
