when you enable SWD in CubeMX2 it automatically blocks the SWO pin as well (tested using C531FBP6), but I only need SWCLK / SWDIO to debug. please add a way to disable the use of SWO.

    You can right click and reset the pin state so it's no longer SWO.

    Must be a bug on your selected part. I was able to do it on the C562RE

    It looks like if I select as a Board project with the C562RE, i am able to reset the SWD pins.

    If i create as an MCU project with C562RE, I can't reset the pins.

      yes, when you open the C652 NUCLEO board, the 3 SWD pins are reserved and can be reset, but once debug is configured, you cannot reset any of them...

        @av500 @Oussama_TROUDI 

        I see now, I didn't Activate the SWD. Because it was highlighted and labeled when the project was opened, I assumed it was enabled. I didn't look at the legend.

        I meet the same issue, so the SWO pin is necessary for SWD debug mode?
