Timer 2 clocks timer 5 in Nucleo L476RG

Hello,

I would like to make timer 2 compare event in channel 1 to clock timer 5. Timer 2 compare events also sends DMA request and timer 5 is also used to output a PWM waveform.

Here you can find the Init function that I wrote and the main code. At the end something is not working because I can't see any waveform at PAO (the one supposed to output the PWM). I double checked the Timer registers and they seem fine to me. Can you help me in finding the errors? I am not able to undesrtand wheter the problem is on the TIM2 or TIM5 (both the timer synchronization part and the GPIO configuration)

I shared only the relvant code for the two timers and removed

 
 
 
 
 
 
// timer2 initialization
void TIM2Init (void){
	 // Enable the timer clock
	 RCC->APB1ENR1 |= (1<<0); // Enable the tim2 clock writing 1 in bit 0
	 // Set the prescaler and the ARR to set the frequency of the sinewave
	 TIM2 -> PSC = 79; // 80 MHz/80= 1MHz clock --> 1us count
	 TIM2-> ARR = 5; // ARR value uguale a CCR va bene? o deve essere più alto?
	 TIM2 -> CCR1= 5; // ogni volta che c'è il compare riparte da zero
	 TIM2 -> CCR2= 5; // ogni volta che c'è il compare riparte da zero
	 TIM2 -> CR2 |= (1<<6)|(0<<5)|(0<<4); // Master mode selection Bits 6:4 MMS[2:0]=100
	 // TIM2 -> SMCR |= (1<<7); (TBC)
	 TIM2 -> EGR |= (1<<1) | (1<<2); // compare event generation enabled 
	 TIM2 -> DIER |= (1<<9); // Enable the DMA request when compare 1
	 TIM2 -> DIER |= (1<<10); // Enable the DMA request when compare 2
}
 
// Tim5 is the slave timer clocked by tim 2 PWM Mode 
void TIM5Init (void){
	 // Enable the timer clock (not necessary?)
	 //RCC->APB1ENR1 |= (1<<3); // Enable the tim5 clock writing 1 in bit 3
	 // Set the period (ARR) and duty (CCR1): Frequency TimClock/ ARR. Duty cycle set by CCR/ARR
	 TIM5-> ARR = 100; // ARR value --> period equal to the number of samples of the sinusoidal waveform
	 TIM5-> CCR1= 50;
	 // set the slave mode: the clock is the compare event of tim2_ch1
	 TIM5 -> SMCR|= (1<<0)|(1<<1)|(1<<2); // SMS=111 external clock mode 1 and TS=000 internal trigger 0
	 // set the PWM mode
	 TIM5 -> CCMR1 |= (0<<0); // to set the output compare mode
	 TIM5 -> CCMR1 |= (1<<3); // OC1PE bit to enable the preload register
	 TIM5 -> CCMR1 |= (6<<4); // OC1M bits to set the PWM mode in ch1
	 TIM5 -> CR1 |= (1<<7); // ARPE BIT:ARR register is buffered
	 //TIM5-> EGR |= (1<<1); // Enable the compare event
	 TIM5 -> CCER |= (0<<1); // CC1P bits to set the polarity (write 0 in bit 1 to have active high)
	 TIM5-> CCER |= (1<<0); // output on the corresponding output pin enable
	 // Enable the GPIOA Clock
	 RCC-> AHB2ENR |= (1<<0); // Enable the GPIOA clock writing 1 in bit 0
	 // Configure the GPIO (PAO AlternateFunction2) to output the PWM
	 GPIOA -> MODER |= (1<<1); // PAO configured as alternate function
	 GPIOA -> AFR[0] |= (1<<1); // Set alternate Function 2 (AFR[0] is called GPIOx_AFRL in the manual)
	 GPIOA -> OTYPER |= (0<<0); // output as push-pull
	 GPIOA -> PUPDR |= (0<<0); // No pullup or pulldown
	 GPIOA -> OSPEEDR |= (1<<0); // Medium Speed
	 //
}
