Hello!

I'm trying to get an STM32F407 with the LQFP176 Pinout to output in OC PWM1 mode.  My code is as follows:

  /* set up GPIO as timer output GPIOI 5, TIM 8 CH 1*/

    RCC_AHB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_AHB1Periph_GPIOI,ENABLE);

    GPIOInitS.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_PIN_174;

    GPIOInitS.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;

    GPIOInitS.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_100MHz;

    GPIOInitS.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;

    GPIOInitS.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_UP ;

    GPIO_Init(GPIOI, &GPIOInitS); 

    GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOI, GPIO_PinSource5,GPIO_AF_TIM8);

    

     /* set up timer hardware for PWM generation */

     RCC_APB2PeriphResetCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM8, ENABLE);

    /* initialize timer to default values */

    TIM_TimeBaseStructInit(&TIMbaseS);

    TIMbaseS.TIM_Period = 0xffff;

    TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM8, &TIMbaseS);

    /* configure output compare block */

    TIM_OCStructInit(&TIMOCinitS);

    TIMOCinitS.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_PWM1;

    TIMOCinitS.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;

    TIMOCinitS.TIM_Pulse = 3; 

    TIMOCinitS.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_High;

    TIM_OC1Init(TIM8, &TIMOCinitS);

    TIM_OC1PreloadConfig(TIM8,TIM_OCPreload_Enable);

    TIM_ARRPreloadConfig(TIM8, ENABLE);

    TIM_CtrlPWMOutputs(TIM8,ENABLE); /* TIM1/8 need extra command */

 

    TIM_Cmd(TIM8, ENABLE);

----------------------------

Unfortunately, I'm checking the output with an oscilloscope, and not getting anything out at all. What might I be doing wrong here?

    Don't use RCC_APB2PeriphResetCmd() to enable the clock.

    GPIO_PIN_174 is set to what?

    GPIO_PIN_174 is defined in gpio_cfg.h as:

    GPIO(GPIO_PIN_174,       GPIOI, 5, OUTPUT,ACTIVE_HIGH,0)/* pin174. */

    changed the line to :

    RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM8, ENABLE);

    But still nothing.

    GPIOInitS.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_5; // A bit vector (1 << 5)

    It works now, thank you!

    Problem was with the GPIO_PIN_174 line, I was defining it elsewhere as a regular GPIO pin, and then here as a timer Output Compare pin.
