stm32f4 discovery clock appears to be 1/2 speed

Hi, I'm fairly new to embedded system programming and I've just started experimenting with the 32f4 and 32f3 discovery boards.

I'm working with a simple interrupt driven timer to flash one of the LEDs at 1Hz, but my update calculations seem to be off as if the clock is running at 42MHz instead of 84MHz. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I'm using atolic trueSTUDIO if it matters, and I'm using the calculation updateEventHz = timerClock(84Mhz) / (tim_psc + 1) * (tim_arr+1) My code is as follows /** ***************************************************************************** ** **  File        : main.c ** **  Abstract    : main function. ** **  Functions   : main ** **  Environment : Atollic TrueSTUDIO(R) **                STMicroelectronics STM32F4xx Standard Peripherals Library ** **  Distribution: The file is distributed �as is,� without any warranty **                of any kind. ** **  (c)Copyright Atollic AB. **  You may use this file as-is or modify it according to the needs of your **  project.

Well I'll observe that toggling will halve the frequency.Then I'll suggest you review the clock and PLL settings in system_stm32f4xx.c. Make sure you are using the settings for an 8 MHz external crystal, not a 25 MHz one.Finally, if you want to check internal clocks you can route them out via the MCOx pins and verify them on a scope.

Yup, you nailed it Clive. This appears to be an ID-10-T error.

I somehow managed to confuse timer update frequency with my desired IO Frequency.  I know better. Sometimes I need a whack up side the head to get my brain working correctly. Thanks!
