Hello, i have to solve the task: Configure the MCU to operate with a system clock frequency of 72MHz. Make sure that the clock signal is derived from the external oscillator (HSE). Find a way to show the system clock frequency (SYSCLK) at an output pin.

[DKunz.1]

This is my code so far.

I solved the clock frequency of 72MHz with an excel sheet and imported the file which got created, so that is working. My HSE Speed is 8 Mhz.

Now i dont get how to mirror the System Clock onto the MCO output pin.

This is what i tried...

Can you guys help me?

I am really new to MCU Programming.

We are working with a STM32F407VG

Thanks in advance!

 GPIO.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;

 GPIO.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_NOPULL;

 GPIO.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_9;

 GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO);

 //GPIO_SetBits(GPIOC, GPIO_Pin_9);

 while (1)

 {

   i++;

 }

}

You should be able to select this configuration within CubeMX and have it generate the code. MCO output can be selected within System Core -> RCC.

Thanks for you answer.

I didnt know this software exists.

Sadly we are not allowed to work with it...

But still i managed to get the code out of it

thanks

Yeah it sounds like a homework problem. Up to you what you want to use and how much you want to understand things. If you’re really interested, it’s probably worth looking at the reference manual to understand how it works.

Okay thanks to you all it works 🙂
