Hi all!

I have a problem with STM32 BOOT (I used a STM32F207). If the microcontroller restarts (after power-off), the firmware is blocked during the CLK initialization (and RTC initialization).

I changed capacitor of the RTC (20pF instead of 22pF), and the initialization has been right. But i don't understand why. If you any idea or suggestion ?

Best Regards

You should avoid long/infinite loops in the reset paths of the firmware.

The LSE can take 10's of seconds to start if the circuit/layout is wrong.

The F2 is very sensitive to component choices and layout.

You must be using a 6-7pF crystal, not the more common 9-12pF ones.

There is an App Note for computing capacitor values, don't just copy other circuits unless your BOM is identical.

Hello,

You can refer to the application note
