Why is CubeMX trying to enable Overclocking in my project?

[MStra.3]

I created a new project for an STM32F407VE and when the code is generated CubeMX puts this in SystemClock_Config:

 /** Activate the Over-Drive mode

 */

 if (HAL_PWREx_EnableOverDrive() != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

When you try to compile it, it gets an error because HAL_PWREx_EnableOverDrive() is not defined!

The whole SystemClock_Config is here:

void SystemClock_Config(void)

{

 RCC_OscInitTypeDef RCC_OscInitStruct = {0};

 RCC_ClkInitTypeDef RCC_ClkInitStruct = {0};

 /** Configure the main internal regulator output voltage

 */

 __HAL_RCC_PWR_CLK_ENABLE();

 __HAL_PWR_VOLTAGESCALING_CONFIG(PWR_REGULATOR_VOLTAGE_SCALE1);

 /** Initializes the RCC Oscillators according to the specified parameters

 * in the RCC_OscInitTypeDef structure.

 */

 RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_HSE;

 RCC_OscInitStruct.HSEState = RCC_HSE_ON;

 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_ON;

 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLSource = RCC_PLLSOURCE_HSE;

 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLM = 25;

 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLN = 336;

 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLP = RCC_PLLP_DIV2;

 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLQ = 4;

 if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

 /** Activate the Over-Drive mode

 */

 if (HAL_PWREx_EnableOverDrive() != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

 /** Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB buses clocks

 */

 RCC_ClkInitStruct.ClockType = RCC_CLOCKTYPE_HCLK|RCC_CLOCKTYPE_SYSCLK

               |RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK1|RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK2;

 RCC_ClkInitStruct.SYSCLKSource = RCC_SYSCLKSOURCE_PLLCLK;

 RCC_ClkInitStruct.AHBCLKDivider = RCC_SYSCLK_DIV1;

 RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB1CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV4;

 RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB2CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV2;

 if (HAL_RCC_ClockConfig(&RCC_ClkInitStruct, FLASH_LATENCY_5) != HAL_OK)

 {

  Error_Handler();

 }

}

Overdrive mode is required for speeds above 168 MHz. It's not overclocking. In any case, it's not available on the F407 so generated code shouldn't have it.

I couldn't reproduce this on a new project. Attach your IOC if you can.

Here's what CubeMX spat out for me:

/**
 * @brief System Clock Configuration
 * @retval None
 */
void SystemClock_Config(void)
{
 RCC_OscInitTypeDef RCC_OscInitStruct = {0};
 RCC_ClkInitTypeDef RCC_ClkInitStruct = {0};
 
 /** Configure the main internal regulator output voltage
 */
 __HAL_RCC_PWR_CLK_ENABLE();
 __HAL_PWR_VOLTAGESCALING_CONFIG(PWR_REGULATOR_VOLTAGE_SCALE1);
 /** Initializes the RCC Oscillators according to the specified parameters
 * in the RCC_OscInitTypeDef structure.
 */
 RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_HSE;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.HSEState = RCC_HSE_ON;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_ON;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLSource = RCC_PLLSOURCE_HSE;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLM = 25;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLN = 336;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLP = RCC_PLLP_DIV2;
 RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLQ = 4;
 if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 /** Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB buses clocks
 */
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.ClockType = RCC_CLOCKTYPE_HCLK|RCC_CLOCKTYPE_SYSCLK
 |RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK1|RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK2;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.SYSCLKSource = RCC_SYSCLKSOURCE_PLLCLK;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.AHBCLKDivider = RCC_SYSCLK_DIV1;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB1CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV4;
 RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB2CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV2;
 
 if (HAL_RCC_ClockConfig(&RCC_ClkInitStruct, FLASH_LATENCY_5) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
}
