Error setting up timer HAL PeriodElapsed Callback STM32F334R8T

Question

I'm trying to create a microsecond delay function using the STMs regular timer. I wanted to set a timer to fire an interrupt every microsecond and then increment a variable in the call back function which gets called at the end of the interrupt and if that variable has reached the desired value stop the counter with HAL_TIM_BASE_STOP_IT().

Normally when using the HAL library for STM32 at the end of an the interrupt, the interrupt handler calls a callback function. The callback functions are already declared but are left blank. The driver makes use of a nonstandard keyword weak which allows you to overload the callback function, by simply writing your own definition. I've successfully done this with the callback functions for the interrupts for I2C, UART, and SPI communication, but for the timer I get the following 3 errors.

Error[Pe079]: expected a type specifier C:\projects\automated_testing\voltage measurement node\Src\main.c 610 

Error[Pe147]: declaration is incompatible with "__interwork __softfp void HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback(TIM_HandleTypeDef *)" (declared at line 1558 of "C:\projects\automated_testing\voltage measurement node\Drivers\ C:\projects\automated_testing\voltage measurement node\Src\main.c 610 

Error[Pe141]: unnamed prototyped parameters not allowed when body is present C:\projects\automated_testing\voltage measurement node\Src\main.c 610 

My function at the moment is literally just toggling a pin to see if it works. If I comment it out, it compiles fine.

void HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback(&htim3)
{
  HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(N_CS_GPIO_Port, N_CS_Pin);
}

Here's the configuration code for my timer created by STMCube to be in "Output Compare No Output" mode. I'm using HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT(&htim3) to start the timer and does call the interrupt routine and get to the correct blank callback function when I don't create my own definition of the function.

* TIM3 init function */
static void MX_TIM3_Init(void)
{

  TIM_ClockConfigTypeDef sClockSourceConfig;
  TIM_MasterConfigTypeDef sMasterConfig;
  TIM_OC_InitTypeDef sConfigOC;

  htim3.Instance = TIM3;
  htim3.Init.Prescaler = 0;
  htim3.Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_UP;
  htim3.Init.Period = 72;
  htim3.Init.ClockDivision = TIM_CLOCKDIVISION_DIV1;
  htim3.Init.AutoReloadPreload = TIM_AUTORELOAD_PRELOAD_ENABLE;
  if (HAL_TIM_Base_Init(&htim3) != HAL_OK)
  {
    _Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);
  }

  sClockSourceConfig.ClockSource = TIM_CLOCKSOURCE_INTERNAL;
  if (HAL_TIM_ConfigClockSource(&htim3, &sClockSourceConfig) != HAL_OK)
  {
    _Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);
  }

  if (HAL_TIM_OC_Init(&htim3) != HAL_OK)
  {
    _Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);
  }

  sMasterConfig.MasterOutputTrigger = TIM_TRGO_RESET;
  sMasterConfig.MasterSlaveMode = TIM_MASTERSLAVEMODE_DISABLE;
  if (HAL_TIMEx_MasterConfigSynchronization(&htim3, &sMasterConfig) != HAL_OK)
  {
    _Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);
  }

  sConfigOC.OCMode = TIM_OCMODE_TIMING;
  sConfigOC.Pulse = 0;
  sConfigOC.OCPolarity = TIM_OCPOLARITY_HIGH;
  sConfigOC.OCFastMode = TIM_OCFAST_DISABLE;
  if (HAL_TIM_OC_ConfigChannel(&htim3, &sConfigOC, TIM_CHANNEL_1) != HAL_OK)
  {
    _Error_Handler(__FILE__, __LINE__);
  }

}

Any ideas as to what I've done wrong would be very helpful.

Answer 1

You should add the type of htim in the function declaration which is missing in:

void HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback(&htim3)
{
  HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(N_CS_GPIO_Port, N_CS_Pin);
}

By adding it you will get:

void HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim)
{
  HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(N_CS_GPIO_Port, N_CS_Pin);
}

To check if the function is called for timer 3, check for the correct timer:

void HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim)
{
   if (htim == &htim3)
   {
      HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(N_CS_GPIO_Port, N_CS_Pin);
   }
}

(I do not have a compiler at hand, so I cannot check the code).
