EDIT* for those seeking a solution, JW in the replies below pointed out that the DIER register for TIM1 never enabled the interrupt bit for the commutation event and the mistake was that I used
HAL_TIMEx_ConfigCommutEvent(&htim1, TIM_TS_NONE, TIM_COMMUTATION_SOFTWARE);Instead of
HAL_TIMEx_ConfigCommutEvent_IT(&htim1, TIM_TS_NONE, TIM_COMMUTATION_SOFTWARE);---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear whomever may read this,
I've been working with PWM on TIM1 with the NUCLEO-F429ZI, I have three channels and their complementary channels active. This is an iterative test project, where I am bring function to life one step at a time. The following is the configuration for TIM1 (Note channel 2, 2N and 3, 3N have the same configuration as 1 and 1N).
After being happy with the PWM timer, I enabled the commutation interrupt
In the beginning I also had the update interrupt and that was working and firing. Then in my loop I was simply trying to fire a commutation generation event about once every second (just rough test). The if statement runs but the "void TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQHandler(void)" routine never runs for some reason.
I then took the event generation out of the loop and did it once in the beginning made a test to see if the commutation flag is being set (it is), but it's never serviced and then cleared. So the LED kept toggling. It can be manually reset.
Here is the current version of my main, in the middle of trying out some tests. The code is temporary test code after trying to debug. But from all I can see I have configured the timer to accept the software events, I thought "void TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQHandler(void)" would handle that. Perhaps I am wrong there.
int main(void)
{
HAL_Init();
/* Initialize all configured peripherals */
MX_GPIO_Init();
MX_TIM1_Init();
MX_ADC1_Init();
MX_USART3_UART_Init();
/* Initialize interrupts */
MX_NVIC_Init();
HAL_TIM_Base_MspInit(&htim1);
HAL_TIMEx_ConfigCommutEvent(&htim1, TIM_TS_NONE, TIM_COMMUTATION_SOFTWARE);
// TODO: This is needed for the update event
HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT(&htim1);
HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1);
HAL_TIMEx_PWMN_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1);
HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_2);
HAL_TIMEx_PWMN_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_2);
HAL_TIM_PWM_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_3);
HAL_TIMEx_PWMN_Start(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_3);
HAL_ADC_Start(&hadc1);
uint16_t adc_val = 0;
float duty_cycle = 0.5f;
uint16_t period_pwm = __HAL_TIM_GET_AUTORELOAD(&htim1);
uint32_t last_event = HAL_GetTick();
const uint32_t tick_between = 1000;
HAL_TIM_GenerateEvent(&htim1, TIM_EVENTSOURCE_COM);
while (1)
{
HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&hadc1, 1000);
adc_val = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc1);
duty_cycle = adc_val / 4095.0f;
__HAL_TIM_SET_COMPARE(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1, duty_cycle * period_pwm);
__HAL_TIM_SET_COMPARE(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_2, 0.5 * duty_cycle * period_pwm);
__HAL_TIM_SET_COMPARE(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_3, 0.25 * duty_cycle * period_pwm);
if ((HAL_GetTick() - last_event) > tick_between)
{
if (__HAL_TIM_GET_FLAG(&htim1, TIM_FLAG_COM))
{
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(LD2_GPIO_Port, LD2_Pin);
__HAL_TIM_CLEAR_FLAG(&htim1, TIM_FLAG_COM);
}
last_event = HAL_GetTick();
}
}
HAL_ADC_Stop(&hadc1);
}
I can send further information and answer question if anyone has any idea what is happening, I'm no HAL expert and this is a step in my learning journey. I'd appreciate the help.

Dear JW,
Thanks for the reply, I had tried some debugging yesterday. But I'm relatively new to HAL and interrupts especially, I've been trying to get a better hang of it and thought I understood the process more clearly.
I will detail here my debugging process, I would appreciate if someone more knowledgeable could point me to mistakes and next steps if any are available.
First thing I did was to also enable the update event for TIM1 to see if I could get any interrupt going and found for that that I needed the following line in the start. (Before I had only started the PWM channels).
HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT(&htim1);This managed to fire the following interrupt.
void TIM1_UP_TIM10_IRQHandler(void)
I've also checked the TIM1->SR and the COMIF bits, before and after event generation.
Satisfied that the COM interrupt flag is set and I can manually clear it I changed the main loop back to
HAL_TIM_GenerateEvent(&htim1, TIM_EVENTSOURCE_COM);
while (1)
{
HAL_ADC_PollForConversion(&hadc1, 1000);
adc_val = HAL_ADC_GetValue(&hadc1);
duty_cycle = adc_val / 4095.0f;
// Much better way to reconfigure the pulse duration
__HAL_TIM_SET_COMPARE(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_1, duty_cycle * period_pwm);
__HAL_TIM_SET_COMPARE(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_2, 0.5 * duty_cycle * period_pwm);
__HAL_TIM_SET_COMPARE(&htim1, TIM_CHANNEL_3, 0.25 * duty_cycle * period_pwm);
if ((HAL_GetTick() - last_event) > tick_between)
{
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(LD2_GPIO_Port, LD2_Pin);
last_event = HAL_GetTick();
}
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
}So I generate the event and then go into the loop, the u
void TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQHandler(void)pdate event fires but never the
void TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQHandler(void)Perhaps then I'm configuring that interrupt wrong. In main before the look, AFTER MX_TIM1_Init(); I have
/* Initialize interrupts */
MX_NVIC_Init();
/* USER CODE BEGIN 2 */
HAL_TIMEx_ConfigCommutEvent(&htim1, TIM_TS_NONE, TIM_COMMUTATION_SOFTWARE);Where MX_NVIC_Init() is as follows
static void MX_NVIC_Init(void)
{
/* TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQn interrupt configuration */
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQn, 0, 0);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQn);
}
As I have said I'm not expert on HAL and I can have troubles, from what I know I think I'm doing things right. But I'd be very happy to learn what I'm doing wrong 🙂
p.s. I put a break point on the interrupt hander for TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQHandler, it never runs.
I'd like to add the contents of the NVIC registers, I've been trying to read through RM0090 to find the ISRx registers but have not been able to locate that. Thus I have a hard time knowing whether the interrupt enable lines are actually configuring things correctly. I attach here a picture of the registers, If anyone knows what page in RM0090 it is or in some other document I'd appreciate that.
I also attach here the vector table in the start up, line 50 below has the interrupt in question.

I've looked even deeper into it, turns out this IRQn is 26, defined in IRQn_Type enum.
TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQn = 26, /*!< TIM1 Trigger and Commutation Interrupt and TIM11 global interrupt */
The HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ, calls NVIC_EnableIRQ with that number, which is a macro for
__STATIC_INLINE void __NVIC_EnableIRQ(IRQn_Type IRQn)
{
if ((int32_t)(IRQn) >= 0)
{
__COMPILER_BARRIER();
NVIC->ISER[(((uint32_t)IRQn) >> 5UL)] = (uint32_t)(1UL << (((uint32_t)IRQn) & 0x1FUL));
__COMPILER_BARRIER();
}
}Then here if I am not mistaking, we divide the number by 2^5 = 32, to find which ISERx register 32 bit words this number belongs to 26/32 = 0 so ISER0. Then we extract the lower 5 bits of 26 which is 26. And put one into bit 27 (if counting from bit 0).
That then corresponds to the following highlighted bit
I don't know how to see if there is some mismatch in the NVIC controller or something for why this is not firing. I hope I have provided enough information for anyone that would be able to help me 🙂
