On many of the cheaper STM32 Development Boards there is a LED attached to PC13. This is perfectly ok if you want to switch it on or off, but PC13 is not attached to any of the timer channels, so it will not be possible to control the brightness using PWM.

Fortunately, while not ideal, it is possible.
