STM32F722 clock initialization error

[Roach]

Hi,

I'm working on a project that uses STM32F722RE and I wanted to set the system clock to max value of 216 MHz using 12MHz external crystal as the input for the PLL. The problem is, if I set the SYSCLK and HCLK to 216 MHz, the code fails to initialize, but if I set it below 104 MHz it runs fine. When program enters the SystemClock_Config(void) function in debugger, it ends up in the hard fault handler after a few seconds. Everything is set up using CubeMX and no code is changed prior to compiling and flashing the MCU. I'm using Keil uVision 5 by the way. Does enyone know what is the problem here and how to solve it?

Here is the snippet of the code generated by CubeMX.

System clock set to 96 MHz:

void SystemClock_Config(void)

  RCC_OscInitTypeDef RCC_OscInitStruct = {0};
  RCC_ClkInitTypeDef RCC_ClkInitStruct = {0};
  RCC_PeriphCLKInitTypeDef PeriphClkInitStruct = {0};
 
  /** Configure the main internal regulator output voltage 
  */
  __HAL_RCC_PWR_CLK_ENABLE();
  __HAL_PWR_VOLTAGESCALING_CONFIG(PWR_REGULATOR_VOLTAGE_SCALE3);
  /** Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB busses clocks 
  */
  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 = 8;
  RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLN = 128;
  RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLP = RCC_PLLP_DIV2;
  RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLQ = 2;
  if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK)
  {
    Error_Handler();
  }
  /** Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB busses clocks

Hi @Roach, I have a custom board that has the STM32F765 and running into similar issues as you did (system crashes on boot when configuring the system clock to max value of 216 MHz). I have tried with 8Mhz and 25Mhz crystals as the HSE, also powered by 3.3V and the crystal clock output looks fine on the scope.

Curious to know if you managed to root cause and resolve the issue with your board?

I'm also unable to configure the HSI to get the system running above 96Mhz with STM32F765 . I'm using the system clock config generated by CubeMX.
