RCC_CR_HSEBYP definition removed from CMSIS in STM32CubeWB v1.10.0

[DGeor.4]

In STM32CubeWB v1.10.0, the definitions of RCC_CR_HSEBYP (HSE bypass control) were removed from the CMSIS files for STM32WB5x MCUs. Also parts of the HAL that configure HSE bypass mode were removed. In the release notes it says "Remove RCC_CR_HSEBYP" but there is no further detail about this.

I could not find any mention of HSEBYP in the latest errata for the STM32WB5x.

What is the reason this definition was removed from the CMSIS and HAL, does this HSE bypass feature still work on STM32WB5x parts?

Hello @DGeor.4​ and welcome to the STM32 Community =)

All HSE32 BYPASS description/definition are removed from STM32WBxx reference manuals and HAL, to be replaced by HSE32 clock input mode.

Thank you for the answer.

I see in the latest version of the reference manual (RM0434 rev6), section 8.2.1, that using an external clock (previously called HSE bypass mode) has the same configuration as using a crystal. Is that correct? So all the code needs to do is enable HSEON and the MCU will automatically detect if its a crystal or an external clock?
