I have been having trouble running the STM32F4 timers test on the STM3240G-Eval
board:
ecos/packages/hal/cortexm/stm32/var/current/tests/timers.c
The test would SIGTRAP in GDB when executing:
cyg_thread_delay( 5*100 );
in the while loop in "timers_test()" in timers.c.
The issue seems to be that the clocks for the timers are not enabled in the
RCC_APB1ENR and
RCC_APB2ENR registers, so when the timers are attempted to be initialized, the
initialization is not successful and the timers don't run.
I am not exactly sure why this would relate to the SIGTRAP, but when I resolved
the timer initialization, the SIGTRAP went away. If anyone could explain this,
I would be interested in better understanding.
I enabled these clocks (now the test seems to run reliably) by adding code
shown below at the end of "hal_variant_init()" in stm32_misc.c to initialize
the TIMer clocks.
I suspect this is not the correct place for this change, but wasn't sure where
to make it. There probably also needs to be some conditional compilation to
take care of the various variants of the processor.

This seems to resolve the issue and now the timer test runs reliably and
displays reasonable looking results, whereas before the results were always 0.
Advice on how this initialization would be more correctly done would be
appreciated.
