STM32L562CETx - using only internal oscillators - Systick not increasing, HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT makes freeze - Interrupt problem

MPetr.3

Hello community,

I am working on a STM32L562CETx micro-processor and testing out basic functions. I only use the internal oscillators, no external is connected.

I managed to en-/disable GPIO output pins to drive LEDs etc successfully.

The Problem is:

Using HAL_Delay does not work. It freezes forever, this is because the systick seems not increase. I could not figure out ahy systick is not increasing

Than I changed the timebase to Timer1/Timer4/Timer7/etc. to check if it works with a timer, and the program freezes as soon as it tries to configure the timer as timebase.

After that, I created a completely empty new project, with only the stm32l562ce selected. I have only enabled the Timer4 with internal source.

The program hangs, as soon as I execute the line HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT(&htim4);

When I step through each line in that particular function, I can step through the whole function, the timer is running (I checked it with live-register view). But after the step-out of the function, any next code line causes a crash. For example: int i = 4; causes a crash as next line.

I checked the following things:

  • correct startup file (yes) - contains TIMER4_ISR Function
  • correct _FLASH and _RAM file (yes)
  • all interrupts enabled

I have no further idea what I can try and desperately seek help.

The code of the program (new project, only timer4 configured) is attached below:

Picture of clock generation (all default values, I changed nothing here). Usually I use max. Frequency and only HSI and LSI.

Thanks for your time.

Additional information:

I programmed the exact same project (other processor) on my stm32l562e-dk discovery board (stm32l562QE-Chip), and It worked instantly. Could it be not a software, but a hardware problem? GPIOs etc work but everything with timer/interrupt doesnt.

I found the problem. I switched the processor on my board and with a new processor it works perfectly. So it seemed to be a hardware fault.

Debug the program. When it hangs, hit pause and determine where it's at. It's possible it's stuck within an IRQ handle due to failing to clear the flag.
