STM32WL33x default SWD pins

Hello all :)

I am designing a board using the STM32WL33CCV6TR, and want to program/debug using the SWD interface. However, there are multiple pins the SWDIO and SWCLK can be mapped to using alternate functions. Usually with STM products, I have seen a footnote saying which pins the SWD interface is mapped to on boot. However, I cannot see this on the STM32WL33xx datasheet.

 

My question is which pins should I use as SWDIO and SWCLK so that I can program the chip out of the box (without having to mess around with the bootloader). And could I have found this information, as I am sure it is somewhere but cannot find it. I am guessing the PA2 and PA3 pins, but not really for any good reason...

 

Many thanks in advance!

Hello @angus123 

As Said @TDK , this information should be available on the RM0511 specially on the paragraph 7.3.1: 

During and just after reset, the alternate functions are not active and most of the 1/0 ports are configured in GPIO input pull-up mode except the SWD debug pins.

The debug pins are in AFO pull-up/pull-down after reset:

  • PA2: SWDIO in pull-up
  • PA3: SWDCLK in pull-down

Look at the default GPIO register settings in the Reference Manual.
