Using Tim1 ETR to count up (Update Event not generated)

Hello,

I'm searching for an example code using Tim1 ETR to count up or down (ETR Clock mode 2). My STM32F103RBT6 (Tim1_ETR Pin PA12) is connected to an Atmel 125 kHz RFID Frontend-IC (U3280M), which extracts the field clock of 125 KHz (period 8 µS). Every 32 periods I'll have to check another pin state, so I want use this clock signal for the Tim1 timer to count 32 periods (32 * 8 µS = 256 µS) and then generate an Update Interrupt. But TIM1_UP_IRQHandler() isn't called after 32 periods in my code. The scope shows the signal, I think something is wrong with my timer init. Timer start (TIM_Cmd(TIM1, ENABLE);) is generated by calling an external interrupt (I don't post this code section, because it is executed). The relevant sections:

Code:

Timer Init:

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_TIM1, ENABLE);

TIM_DeInit(TIM1);

/* Time base configuration */

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = 32*8;

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = 0; /* no prescaler */

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_ClockDivision = TIM_CKD_DIV1; /* no clock division */

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;

TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_RepetitionCounter = 0;

TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM1, &TIM_TimeBaseStructure);

TIM_ClearFlag(TIM1, TIM_FLAG_Update); /* Clear the interrput flag */

/* External Clock Mode 2, count at each rising, no filter */

TIM_ETRClockMode2Config(TIM1, TIM_ExtTRGPSC_OFF, TIM_ExtTRGPolarity_NonInverted, 0x00);

TIM_SelectInputTrigger(TIM1, TIM_TS_ETRF); /* Select the TIM1 Input Trigger: */

TIM_UpdateDisableConfig(TIM1, DISABLE); /* enable Update Event */

TIM_UpdateRequestConfig(TIM1, TIM_UpdateSource_Regular); /* Only counter overflow should generate an update */

TIM_ITConfig(TIM1, TIM_IT_Update, ENABLE); /* enable update interrupt */

NVIC Init:

NVIC_InitStruct.NVIC_IRQChannel = TIM1_UP_IRQn;

NVIC_InitStruct.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = TIM1_UP_IRQnChannelPreemptionPriority;

NVIC_InitStruct.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = TIM1_UP_IRQnChannelSubPriority;

NVIC_InitStruct.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;

NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStruct);

GPIO Init:

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOA, ENABLE);

GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_12;

GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;

GPIO_InitStruct.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_IN_FLOATING; /* RM-> normal pushpull config, page 145, table 19 */

GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStruct);

So what's wrong with my code (probably, something with the timer initialisation) or does someone have an example code using ETR clock mode 2?

Thank you
