external clock supply for STM32L0 discovery

Hello everyone.

I want to supply an external clock (which frequency is 24MHz) to a STM32L0 Discovery board. I read the user manual (UM1775, ''OSC clock supply'', P22-23). First, I made SB21 closed and SB20 open, and checked these conditions with a digital multimeter. Next, I supplied the external clock to the board from the GPIO pin of PH0. However, I don't know whether my work has gone well, and I have some questions. 1. I can still use an internal clock, is it OK? After removing a connector between my clock source and PH0, the board still works. I assumed that removing the connector meant my board had no clock supply and didn't work, but my idea was wrong? I confirmed that the external clock was correctly supplied by checking a monitor line (pin) that I had added onto SB 2. How should I change a program? I referred to official samples (stm32cubel0 and stm32snippetsl0), but there was no sample that used PH0 for an external clock supply. I still use a clock configuration function from official samples (SystemClock_Config(), following function). I know it should be modified, but I don't know how to change it. Would you help me?

/**

int SystemClock_Config(void)
{
uint32_t tickstart;
/* (1) Enable power interface clock */
/* (2) Select voltage scale 1 (1.65V - 1.95V)

/* (3) Enable HSI divided by 4 in RCC-> CR */
/* (4) Wait for HSI ready flag and HSIDIV flag */
/* (5) Set PLL on HSI, multiply by 8 and divided by 2 */
/* (6) Enable the PLL in RCC_CR register */
/* (7) Wait for PLL ready flag */

tickstart = Tick;
while ((RCC->CR & (RCC_CR_HSIRDY |RCC_CR_HSIDIVF)) != (RCC_CR_HSIRDY |RCC_CR_HSIDIVF)) /* (4) */
{
if ((Tick - tickstart ) > HSI_TIMEOUT_VALUE)
{
return(-1);
}
}

{
if ((Tick - tickstart ) > CLOCKSWITCH_TIMEOUT_VALUE)
{
return(-1);
}
}
return(0); // Success
}

So you'll need to review the Reference Manual and the RCC registers, to enable the HSE, and select it as a clock source to the PLL, or use it directly as the clock source for the processors clock. Review the ''Clock Tree'' diagram to see the paths you need to enable/configure.

Thank you for your kind reply, clive1.

Your advice was so valuable, and my work is going well now.

memo:

  I read the Refference Manual (RM0367, ''External source (HSE bypass)'', p176) and the snippet code that you showed.

  Then I set up RCC registers in accordance with the Manual and the example code.

  Moreover, I set a value of baudrate based on my external clock in Usart1->BRR to use Usart.
