ChibiOS Free Embedded RTOS

Greetings,

I must be brain dead... I can not seem to get PWM working on either the 303RE or 303K8 nucleo boards.
In both cases I copied the demo project, confirmed that the tests worked and then copied what I believe is the minimal amount of code from the PWM testhal projects.

Here is the two areas of code I copied,

static PWMConfig pwmcfg = {
  100000,                           /* 10kHz PWM clock frequency.   */
  5000,                             /* Initial PWM period ??.       */
  NULL,
  {
   {PWM_OUTPUT_DISABLED, NULL},
   {PWM_OUTPUT_DISABLED, NULL},
   {PWM_OUTPUT_ACTIVE_HIGH, NULL},
   {PWM_OUTPUT_DISABLED, NULL}
  },
  0,
  0
};

and

palSetPadMode(GPIOB, 0, PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(2));
   pwmStart(&PWMD3, &pwmcfg);
   pwmEnableChannel(&PWMD3, 3, PWM_PERCENTAGE_TO_WIDTH(&PWMD3, 1000));

I've verified that I am using the proper pins for the timer/channel. I've changed freq, period, duty cycle, timer and channel.
I just get nothing out.

What am I forgetting?

Thanks

The channel number:

Not seeing the problem...

pwmEnableChannel(&PWMD3,  3, PWM_PERCENTAGE_TO_WIDTH(&PWMD3, 5000));
                             This is the channel number, right?

I've tried turning on all channels in the config, and again, nothing.

Thank you, got it working. Now I can't get it to go past about 800Khz. I would really like 4 or 6Mhz.

Hi,

You need to select a frequency in the configuration structure that can be obtained using an integer division from the timer input clock and it should work.

Consider that the timer has a 16 bits prescaler, you need to select parameters compatible with the underlying HW and clock settings.

Make sure to enable assertions in chconf.h, those should catch invalid settings.
