I have two STM32N657X0H3Q microcontroller chips on hand but have no idea how to get started. I have successfully compiled, flashed and run the target program on an official development board equipped with this MCU and achieved the expected functions. However, I get stuck when working with the bare standalone chips.
My initial plan was to power on the chip and directly flash the firmware via STM32 Programmer. Yet after checking the datasheet, I learned that OTP configuration and additional setup steps are required to switch the microcontroller into external Flash operating mode.
Therefore, I am not sure if I can power up the soldered chip directly for program flashing and execution. I am looking for relevant tutorials or sample projects to guide my development with this MCU.
What I need is guidance covering the entire workflow for brand-new, factory-fresh standalone MCUs after they are soldered onto custom PCBs, rather than operation guides for pre-configured off-the-shelf development boards.
