STM32F030X8 alternate function unclear

In the STM32F030X8 datasheet the PortB pin 15 alternate function AF0 is both SPI1_MOSI and SPI2_MOSI

(see table 13 on page 35 of en.DM00088500.pdf). The pin 15 is just an example - there are more of such.

How can this be resolved? Is there some other register that specifies the SPI module to connect to the pin?

Look at the alternate function register. Look at table 12 to 16 in the datasheet

Seems like a bond-out specific either/or, should be notes indicating which part provides what. Similar thing goes on with the USART

No, these are simply completely different chips.

Btw. do you remember how did the 'F030 happen, that it was clearly said to be only a less-tested 'F051? The 'F030x8 is identical to 'F051.

I was trying to be charitable, as there really shouldn't have been a need to do stupid stuff like this, there are enough empty AF slots for this to have been achieved in a coherent way across die and package combinations.

Perhaps after a long lunch, and high CO2 levels in the conference room?

I would have use some of the empty AF slots on other designs to switch USART RX/TX pairing
