Timer with external clock mode for ADZS-21569

Hi,

I currently work with timer module (adi_tmr_2156x.c) with for 21569 EZKit project.

The goal is have a ISR be triggered under certain period. I used the timer in "external clock mode" so I can feed the system clock into timer and triggered the interrupt when it count certain value.

But it's weird that I never get into the ISR with external clock mode, the configuration seems correct, when I check the register value through "Register Browser", I can see Timer->TCOUNT is counting, but TIMER0->TIMER0_TMR0_CNT never changed.

And the problem was fixed when I set to "continuous pwm output mode", I known this could have the same functionality as external clock mode by giving 0 delay and width (please correct me if I am wrong), but I'd like to know why external clock mode is not working? The code is referenced from CCES sample code "timer_PWM_21569", but I can't find any example for using external clock mode.

The config table provided below:

ConfigParams.Mode= ADI_TMR_MODE_EXTCLK; // I can only make it work by setting to ADI_TMR_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PWMOUT
ConfigParams.IRQMode= ADI_TMR_IRQMODE_PERIOD; // Trigger IRQ once counter reach certain value
ConfigParams.PulsePolarity= false; // Set active edge polarity as low-high
ConfigParams.ClkInSource= ADI_TMR_CLKIN_SYSCLK; // Use system clock
ConfigParams.InputAuxIn= false;
ConfigParams.Period= timerPeriodTicks; // Set timer period in ticks
ConfigParams.Width= 0; // Same as timer period for external clock mode
ConfigParams.Delay= 0; // Same as timer period for external clock mode
ConfigParams.EnableGracefulStop= false; // No use for external clock mode
Result = adi_tmr_Config(phTMR, &ConfigParams);
