how to change output pin to pwm pin

[ahmash]

hello guys i am new to stm,i am using stm32103 and stmcubeide ,my question is very basic ,i know how to initialize a pin as an output pin or as a pwmpin but i donot know that how to change an output pin into a pwmoutput pin and then again convert that pin from pwmout to general output pin in the middle of a program ,in my case i am using  pin no PA8 as TIM1_ch1 pwm out ,, I want to convert it to PA8 GPIO_output then again ,from GPIO_output to TIM1_ch1 in middle of programme please help me,

Changing a pin is simply re-initializing it as the other thing. No need to undo anything. Procedure is the same, as long as you aren't relying on default values at reset.

You need to change GPIOA_CRH.CNF8 from 0b00 (General purpose output push-pull) to 0b10 (Alternate function output Push-pull) and vice versa (assuming GPIOA_CRH.MODE8 is already non-zero from previous setup of this pin to GPIO Output). That would be

GPIOA->CRH |= (0b10 << GPIO_CRH_CNF8_Pos);

and then back using

GPIOA->CRH &= (0b10 << GPIO_CRH_CNF8_Pos);

Note, that these operations are not atomic, so if you want to change GPIOA->CRH both in non-interrupt and interrupt context, you'd need to disable/enable interrupts accordingly.
