STM32 HAL timer interrupt isn't triggered - timer

Question

I'm trying to periodically send and Serial string from my STM32F746ZG device, using an interrupt. Most of the code is auto generated by stm32cubemx. I have hardware breakpoints (jlink) set at each interrupt but I only enter the period elapse function once, at initialization. When I randomly pause the debugger I see the counter values between 0 and 1000 as expected. So I know the counter resets every second. The internal clock runs at 16MHz.
My experience with embedded devices is limited to BBB, Raspberry and Arduino's. I tried different examples and tutorials, but at the moment I just don't know anymore. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.
my main function:
int main(void) {
HAL_Init();
SystemClock_Config();
MX_GPIO_Init();
MX_RTC_Init();
MX_TIM1_Init();
if (HAL_TIM_Base_Start(&htim1) != HAL_OK) {
Error_Handler();
}
if (HAL_TIM_Base_Start_IT(&htim1) != HAL_OK) {
Error_Handler();
}
while (1) {
cnt = __HAL_TIM_GetCounter(&htim1);
}
}
TIM1 init:
static void MX_TIM1_Init(void) {
TIM_ClockConfigTypeDef sClockSourceConfig;
TIM_MasterConfigTypeDef sMasterConfig;
htim1.Instance = TIM1;
htim1.Init.Prescaler = 16000;
htim1.Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_UP;
htim1.Init.Period = 1000;
htim1.Init.ClockDivision = TIM_CLOCKDIVISION_DIV1;
htim1.Init.RepetitionCounter = 0x0;
if (HAL_TIM_Base_Init(&htim1) != HAL_OK) {
Error_Handler();
}
sClockSourceConfig.ClockSource = TIM_CLOCKSOURCE_INTERNAL;
if (HAL_TIM_ConfigClockSource(&htim1, &sClockSourceConfig) != HAL_OK) {
Error_Handler();
}
sMasterConfig.MasterOutputTrigger = TIM_TRGO_RESET;
sMasterConfig.MasterOutputTrigger2 = TIM_TRGO2_RESET;
sMasterConfig.MasterSlaveMode = TIM_MASTERSLAVEMODE_DISABLE;
if (HAL_TIMEx_MasterConfigSynchronization(&htim1, &sMasterConfig)
!= HAL_OK) {
Error_Handler();
}
}
My Base_MspInit function:
void HAL_TIM_Base_MspInit(TIM_HandleTypeDef* htim_base)
{
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStruct;
if(htim_base->Instance==TIM1)
{
/* Peripheral clock enable */
__HAL_RCC_TIM1_CLK_ENABLE();
/* Peripheral interrupt init */
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(TIM1_BRK_TIM9_IRQn, 0, 0);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIM1_BRK_TIM9_IRQn);
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(TIM1_UP_TIM10_IRQn, 0, 0);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIM1_UP_TIM10_IRQn);
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQn, 0, 0);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIM1_TRG_COM_TIM11_IRQn);
HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(TIM1_CC_IRQn, 0, 0);
HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIM1_CC_IRQn);
}
}
My TIM IRQ handler function:
void TIM1_UP_TIM10_IRQHandler(void)
{
HAL_TIM_IRQHandler(&htim1);
}
HAL IRQ Handler which calls the HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback:
void HAL_TIM_IRQHandler(TIM_HandleTypeDef *htim)

}
}

Answer 1

The code above was correct. The break points were "temporary hardware" breakpoints, when I changed them to "hardware" breakpoints they where hit when there was a counter overflow indicating that the period was reached.
Typical case of staring at the same code for far too long ;-)
