Question
PLL configuration with HSE bypass bit
Posted on February 13, 2014 at 21:41
I have the STM32F303 on a custom board with an external clock. For testing firmware development, I'm using the STM32F3 Discovery board, also with an external clock.
We need to run at 72MHz, so we use the PLL with the external clock (HSE)./**

In the SetSycClock_PLL function, we first enable the HSE using the RCC clock control register. The mystery is in this step: on the discovery board, we do NOT need to set the HSE bypass bit(
RCC_CR_HSEBYP)
. This seems to be necessary on the custom board, otherwise HSE fails to stabilize and the system falls back to the 8MHz HSI clock.
Is there any insight to this behavior based on the software configuration? #stm32f3-pll-hse-clock
