Nucleo STM32F411RE PWM support


Florian Hester
 

Hello,

I have experimented a bit more, and have opened a bug report:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/30014

Thanks for the help so far :)

 I don't see a particular reason why some channels would not work.
For pins, there's alway a possibility of pin conflicts (as I can see that pa8 is also used on i2c2).
So please take care to this.

Otherwise, don't hesitate to raise a bug if things don't work as expected.

             pwm {

                 pinctrl-0 = <&tim1_ch1_pwm_pa8>;
             };
  };

This did not work (no output pulse, no error logged either).

However, the PA5 pin (configured like above for PWM of timers2) did
work, and now i have a nice 100 microsecond period pulse on that pin.

I've tried the second channel (tim1_ch2_pwm_pa9) of the first
timer, but
that one (like the first channel) also does not work (no output
pulse).

Im going try more of the PWM channels, to see what is working and
what
is not, but it seems like the first pwm device (PWM_1, as part of
timers1) is not working, any reason why not?

Hello,

I've added the pin PA8 to PWM of timers1:

timers1: timers@40010000 {
            status = "okay";

            pwm {
                status = "okay";
                pinctrl-0 = <&tim1_ch1_pwm_pa8>;
            };
 };

This did not work (no output pulse, no error logged either).

However, the PA5 pin (configured like above for PWM of timers2) did work, and now i have a nice 100 microsecond period pulse on that pin.

I've tried the second channel (tim1_ch2_pwm_pa9) of the first timer, but that one (like the first channel) also does not work (no output pulse).

Im going try more of the PWM channels, to see what is working and what is not, but it seems like the first pwm device (PWM_1, as part of timers1) is not working, any reason why not?

Hi Florian, 

You also need to configure a pin, something like:
&timers2 {
           status = "okay";

           pwm2: pwm {
           status = "okay";
+           pinctrl-0 = <&tim2_ch1_pwm_pa5>;
           };
};

Please let us know if this was helpful.

Hello,

I have used the following overlay:

/ {
    soc {
        timers1: timers@40010000 {
            status = "okay";

            pwm {
                status = "okay";
            };
        };

        timers2: timers@40000000 {
            status = "okay";

            pwm {
                status = "okay";
            };
        };

        timers3: timers@40000400 {
            status = "okay";

            pwm {
                status = "okay";
            };
        };

        timers4: timers@40000800 {
            status = "okay";

            pwm {
                status = "okay";
            };
        };
    };
};

The prj.conf file contains the following regarding PWM:

CONFIG_PWM=y
CONFIG_PWM_STM32=y

I used the following code to test:

    auto dev_pwm = device_get_binding("PWM_1");

    if (dev_pwm != nullptr)
    {
        LOG_INF("Have PWM device.");

        int ret = pwm_pin_set_usec(dev_pwm, 1, 100, 50, 0);

        if (ret != 0)
        {
            LOG_ERR("Could not set PWM.");
        }
        else
        {
            LOG_INF("PWM set.");
        }
    }

The output:

[00:00:00.006,000] <inf> main: Have PWM device.
[00:00:00.006,000] <inf> main: PWM set.

I am measuring pin D7 on the board (PA8 for the chip), and no pulse.

Hi Florian,

have you set /status/ of the appropriate Timer & PWM device to "okay"? Have you activated the PWM driver in Zephyr Menu Config? Have you successfully got device binding in the source code?

Cheers,
Adam

Hello,

When i look at the documentation of the Nucleo F411RE board at:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/arm/nucleo_f411re/doc/index.html
<https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/arm/nucleo_f411re/doc/index.html>

I can see PWM as a supported feature. However,  the board YAML file
(boards/arm/nucleo_f411re.yml) does not list PWM as supported and the
board DTS (boards/arm/nucleo_f411re/nucleo_f411re.dts) does not
enable
any PWM device present on the hardware.

I've tried using an overlay to enable it anyway (the timers and the
pwms), this compiles successfully and flashes (via JLink)
successfully,
but using the PWM API (or the shell pwm commands) does not appear to
have any effect (no output pulse).

I have tried the PWM functionality in ARM mbed, where it works.

Why does Zephyr not have support for PWM on this board?
