Getting GPIO pin to toggle in Blinky

[BEppe.1]

I'm trying to get my embedded skills back from many years ago, so I have an STM32L475 L475E board I am working with. I am using Blinky to reference from, but I can't get the output pin to toggle in the thread for the flashing led.

Whats my issue please?

As first you show incomplete code, second you ignore MX generated structure.

From showed code only one pin maybe work if code dont hang on any place. ?debug?

 /*Configure GPIO pin : O_PWM_CH1 */
 GPIO_InitStruct.Pin = O_PWM_CH1;
 GPIO_InitStruct.Mode = GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT_PP;
 GPIO_InitStruct.Pull = GPIO_NOPULL;
 GPIO_InitStruct.Speed = GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_LOW;
 HAL_GPIO_Init(I_GPIO_PORT_B, &GPIO_InitStruct);

Normal steps =

1. In MX wizard set all pins on MCU image to necessary configs
2. In left part MX config all peripherals to desired functions
3. place your code into

/* USER CODE BEGIN ....
 
 
/* USER CODE END ...

1.

thanks for the feedback. I did not know that Keil had an MX generator? I cannot/have not seen one. So I don't think this helps. This code is what comes from example programs, so if it's wrong the previous writer did this. I'm just trying to understand why my pins do not toggle. What in the code is incorrect because it looks right to me. Yes I debugged, but if it does not toggle how far can you debug when you don't know if your code is correct?

MX exist in two variants, as IDE plugin and as standalone app. In project config you can select KEIL or IAR ...

And around examples, good is download or use firmware package folder, where is big amount examples ... double click on project file ...

Why thread and RTOS

You don't show anywhere what this does.

If you set a breakpoint in the section where it's supposed to toggle the LED, does it get there? If not, that's your problem. If so, there's an issue with how you're toggling the pin.

thanks for the feedback. This is from the Blinky program in the thread to flash LED2 as an example program. I thought that it would be clear when I said "I am using Blinky to reference from"
