STM32F4 external oscillator

Hello,

I have connected external clock source of 25 MHz from local oscillator to the

OSC_IN pin of STM32F4. The problem is, that sometimes happens, that

CPU does not start from external HSE and bit RCC_CR_HSERDY is never set.

I checked clock with oscilloscope and it looks fine. I also put CPU in reset and

wait until oscillator stable, but even this does not guarantee valid start-up. 

In manual I did not found any detailed explanation about HSERDY bit when

CPU is clocked by the external clock source.

Is there any limitation when connection external oscillator instead of crystal?

What do you mean by ''I have connected external clock source of 25 MHz from local oscillator''

What exactly is this clock source?

Yes, you need to use BYPASS mode.
