Can PWM settings affect other timer settings?

The code above is the example I am referring to. However, the Timer2 interrupt does not occur in this code. However, if you change the Timer2Configuration function call to before the PWM_Configuration function call, the interrupt operates normally. I can't find the cause of this behavior, so I'm asking a question.

i'm conducting practice using STM32F407G-DISC1.

Hello @treeset, welcome to ST community, 

I think that the part in the TIM2 configuration that makes it work is the NVIC configuration, it's mandatory to configure the NVIC before enabling interrupts 

[SabTuna · Accepted solution]

int main(void)
{
    GPIO_PWM_Configuration();
    TIM2_Configuration(500);
    Timer4_Configuration();
    PWM_Configuration();
    while(1)
    {
    }
}

Try like this.

If you make this modification, PWM will operate normally. However, I think it is strange that it works normally even though I simply changed the calling order. Do you know what the cause is?

[SabTuna]

The issue occurs because the NVIC_PriorityGroupConfig() function, which sets the interrupt priority grouping, must be called before any interrupt configurations; if you call PWM_Configuration() before TIM2_Configuration(), it's possible that PWM_Configuration() or functions it invokes alter the NVIC settings, overwriting the priority settings for TIM2 and preventing its interrupt from occurring; by moving the NVIC_PriorityGroupConfig(NVIC_PriorityGroup_1); call to the very beginning of main()—before any other configurations—you ensure that the priority grouping is set correctly before any interrupts are configured, which resolves the issue.
