Solder Bridge, basically a link option using solder instead of a push on pin arrangement.

Use SB17 as a search term in the User Manual / Schematic so you get the details / description.​

No it just connects and existing signal. Some people don't want to waste a pin on a clock due to the low pin count already.​

STLink outputs 8MHz on MCO, this can be used as external clock input to target mcu.

Have you connected SB17 and set HSEBYP and HSEON in RCC_CR?

Read the Nucleo-32 User Manual, and the RCC chapter in Reference Manual for 'L43x.

hi, thanks for the reply. i am quite new to stm32. can you please explain what is meant by connecting SB17.

I would also like to know if taking clock from stlink would affect its debugging capabilities?
