Question

TIM I2S using SPI

Hello Everybody,

I am trying to emulate I2S using the SPI interface on the STM32F103.

I have looked at the AN5086, but setting up the timer correctly is still unsuccessful.

The SPI-CLK is connected to the TIM2 via Channel configured as "input capture direct mode".

The timer itself is clocked from "internal clock" source.

Channel 3 is configured as "output compare CH3".

What am I missing?

With a logic analyser I can the SPI transmitting. But no toggle from TIM2/CH3

The TIM2 is started in the code with: "HAL_TIM_Base_Start(&htim2);"

Please find attached the .ioc file

Kind regards,

pieterg!

What is the hardware and how exactly is it connected?

What are the expectations and what are the symptoms?

Read out and check/post content of TIM2 and relevant GPIO/AFIO registers.

Hello Jan,

I am testing this with a STM32F103 "blue pill".

The hardware connections are simply:

The SPI-CLK (PB13) <-> TIM2 (PA1) on Channel 2 "Input Capture Direct Mode"

TIM2 CH3 "output compare" (PB10) <-> WS or LRCLK of I2S device

The desired effect is that, as far as I can understand, the TIM2 counts the SPI-SCK pulses and then "flips" TIM2 CH3 after 15 clocks.

Hope my explanation is clear enough.

Kind regards,

pieterg!

Hello Jan,

TIM2:

Have you had a look at those registers yourself, checking their content against the description in RM?

Decimal printouts or registers are not that useful. What's obvious at first sight is that TIM2_SMCR is zero, i.e. there's no slave-mode controller set, this timer runs out of its internal clock (it does count as witnessed by nonzero CNT, just not out of the external clock you expect). Also, TIM2_CCER is zero, i.e. TIM2_CH3 is disabled. You may want to check TIMx_CCMR2.OC3M too.
