STM8S Timer1 input capture issue

Hello am working with the timer1 input capture of an STM8S103F3. No input is registered by the input capture module though I fed it with square waves from 10Hz all the way up to 1MHz. The same square wave registers properly in the input capture module of a pic micro. I have seen that the PC6 (TIM1 Channnel1) pin is set to TIM1 channel1 as an alternate function but I have not found anything helpful in the STM8S standard development library. I have pasted my code below in case anyone can help thanks:


#include "stm8s.h"



void main()
{
CLK_DeInit();
CLK_HSICmd(ENABLE);
CLK_LSICmd(DISABLE);
CLK_HSECmd(DISABLE);
CLK_HSIPrescalerConfig(CLK_PRESCALER_HSIDIV1);
CLK_SYSCLKConfig(CLK_PRESCALER_CPUDIV1);


GPIO_Init(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_4, GPIO_MODE_IN_FL_NO_IT);
CLK_CCOConfig(CLK_OUTPUT_CPUDIV32);
CLK_CCOCmd(ENABLE);



GPIO_Init(GPIOC,GPIO_PIN_6,GPIO_MODE_IN_PU_NO_IT);

TIM1_DeInit();
CLK_PeripheralClockConfig(CLK_PERIPHERAL_TIMER1 , ENABLE);

TIM1_ICInit( TIM1_CHANNEL_1, TIM1_ICPOLARITY_RISING,TIM1_ICSELECTION_DIRECTTI,TIM1_ICPSC_DIV1, 0x00);
TIM1_SelectInputTrigger(TIM1_TS_TI1FP1);
TIM1_SelectSlaveMode(TIM1_SLAVEMODE_RESET);

TIM1_ITConfig(TIM1_IT_CC1,ENABLE);
TIM1_GenerateEvent(TIM1_EVENTSOURCE_CC1);
TIM1_ClearFlag(TIM1_FLAG_CC1);
TIM1_UpdateRequestConfig(TIM1_UPDATESOURCE_REGULAR);
TIM1_Cmd(ENABLE);


enableInterrupts();


while (1);


}
