Hello.

I have a problem trying to stop a timer in debug mode.

I am using a NUCLEO-F072RB. I use timer 7, one of the basic timers, to generate an interrupt.

In order to be able to stop the timer in debug, mannually with breakpoint, I set the DBGMCU_APB1_FZ as stated in the reference manual (RM0091, 9.4).

My code is the following:

int main(void){ 
 /* Reset of all peripherals, Initializes the Flash interface and the Systick. */ 
 HAL_Init(); 
 /* Configure the system clock */ 
 SystemClock_Config(); 
 /* Initialize all configured peripherals */ 
 MX_TIM7_Init(); 
 /* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
 HAL_DBGMCU_EnableDBGStandbyMode(); 
 HAL_DBGMCU_EnableDBGStopMode();
 DBGMCU->APB1FZ |= DBGMCU_APB1_FZ_DBG_TIM7_STOP; 
 while (1) 
 { 
 }
}�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?

When I run the debugger, none of the DBG registers changes its values and the timer doesn't stop when stopping execution.

I would like to know where the DBGMCU configuration lines should be placed, or if there is something else that needs to be configured.

Thanks in advance,

Carlos

Do you enable the DBGMCU clock on APB2 ??

RCC->APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_DBGMCUEN;

Thank you very much!

I inserted the suggested line and it started working.

I paste the working code:

int main(void){ 
 /* Reset of all peripherals, Initializes the Flash interface and the Systick. */ 
 HAL_Init(); 
 /* Configure the system clock */ 
 SystemClock_Config(); 
 /* Initialize all configured peripherals */ 
 MX_TIM7_Init(); 
 /* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
 RCC->APB2ENR |= RCC_APB2ENR_DBGMCUEN; //enable MCU debug module clock
 HAL_DBGMCU_EnableDBGStandbyMode(); 
 HAL_DBGMCU_EnableDBGStopMode();
 DBGMCU->APB1FZ |= DBGMCU_APB1_FZ_DBG_TIM7_STOP; //enable timer 7 stop 
 while (1) 
 { 
 }
