Greetings. I am a beginner and an electronic student and I am currently getting my hands on STM32H523. I have created a mcu board in Altium Designer just to control LEDs by GPIO, hopefully to understand more about STM32. I have the PCB fabricated, and the connection for ST Link v2 is SWDIO---SWDIO, SWCLK---SWCLK, GND---GND. I have also connected a wire at the VCC and GND to the 3.3v power supply to power up the MCU. For Boot0, I set it to HIGH since I see people saying that to program the MCU, I need to set it to HIGH.
I have soldered everything and connect the board to st link, and I cannot debug. I was hoping if anyone can give me some guide, and here I will attach my schematic so you may spot out any design errors... Thank you very much, understanding the STM32 means a lot to me as I intend to use them in my future advanced projects.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello.
I have realised that when I set boot0 to low. VCAP is 1.001 V. But when I set VCAP to high, VCAP is 1.2V. I have replaced every capacitors on the PCB to ensure they are not faulty. Can anyone tell me what is wrong here ? Thanks...

Doesnt seem like anything is wrong. Different run modes will have different VCAP values.

I see... Indeed , it was measured to be 1.0V and I could still program the mcu. Thank you for your help!
