Hi Ivan,
It may also be a good idea to have a look at the old runtime and the
corresponding code there:
https://github.com/Ell-i/Arduino/blob/ell-i/hardware/ell-i/stm32/variants/ellduino_stm32f051/stm32f051_init.c
It is known to work there. Hence, everything that are direct copies are unlike
to have bugs. The bugs are more likely to be either in the changed surrounding
initialisation code, which was completely rewritten, or in the pin definitions.
It may also be a good idea to start with a simpler timer, like TIM3 or TIM15.
