+### PWM
+
+Targeting STM32 boards where WS2812 support is offloaded to an PWM timer and DMA stream. The advantage is that the use of DMA offloads processing of the WS2812 protocol from the MCU. To configure it, add this to your rules.mk:
+
+```make
+WS2812_DRIVER = pwm
+```
+
+Configure the hardware via your config.h:
+```c
+#define WS2812_PWM_DRIVER PWMD2 // default: PWMD2
+#define WS2812_PWM_CHANNEL 2 // default: 2
+#define WS2812_PWM_PAL_MODE 2 // Pin "alternate function", see the respective datasheet for the appropriate values for your MCU. default: 2
+#define WS2812_DMA_STREAM STM32_DMA1_STREAM2 // DMA Stream for TIMx_UP, see the respective reference manual for the appropriate values for your MCU.
+#define WS2812_DMA_CHANNEL 2 // DMA Channel for TIMx_UP, see the respective reference manual for the appropriate values for your MCU.
+```
+
+You must also turn on the PWM feature in your halconf.h and mcuconf.h
