Hi,
I am trying to use PWM with Wince library (the latest 2.5) to manage screen backlight and I am facing issue.
With the latest library version, pwm_Demo don’t work, PWM isn’t modulated [Toradex Documents - Toradex Ce Libraries].
With demo code available in [https://docs.toradex.com/104917-pwmdemo-vs2015.zip], PWM is correctly modulated.
So, I guess there are an issue on latest WinCe library.
My configuration is
Colibri IMX6DL V1.1A
OS WEC2013 V1.6
Thanks for your help,
Could you please provide console output from pwmdemo example when it compiled with v2.5 library?
Hello,
I don’t have any specific output on debug console

The pwmdemo.c has debug prints like
wprintf(L"Error in Pwm_Init()\r\n");
I’d like to see them. They should be printed in the window where you run pwmdemo.exe.
I don’t have any error message, see below the output
Toradex PWM demo
Press enter to exit
All pwm_ functions call are executed correctly but I have nothing on pin.
If I use exactly the same hardware but with PWM demo available in “How to use PWM Library” pin is correctly driven.
So I guess a regression in WinCe Toradex library.
Hi @mblac7,
I tested the pwm_demo inside the latest lib package (2.5) and it runs fine as I see see the pwm on my logic analyzer.
Can you please re-test it to be sure!.
Any changes you made in the demo ?
Hi @sahil.tx,
I re-tested and I confirm that Pwm_Demo_VS2015.sln without any changes (only deployed IP address) isn’t working on my setup.
This setup is:
The same setup is working with pwmdemo_v1.0.sln (without any code changes) available in “How to use PWM Library” page.
If you use PWM_demo without any changes - it uses “PWM2” which is SODIM pin 28 by default.
If you wish to use pin 67 please find and replace
pwm = Pwm_Init(L"PWM2");
by
pwm = Pwm_Init(L"PWM4");
Hi @alex.tx
Your comment is a bit confusing for me, if I refer to Colibiri iMX6 Datasheet PWM2 is on SODIM 67
Anyway, if I use pin 28 has you mention, it is working with PWM2, so is it a specification issue ?
