python script to explore clock configs
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2020 8:03 am
note that ST has some pretty cool tools STM32 CUBE that'd aid the process
https://www.st.com/en/development-tools ... 32091.html
https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Plus/ ... _tree.html
http://www.emcu.it/STM32clk/STM32clk.html
one of them requires MS Excel which i did not managed to make it work in linux libreoffice
hence i hacked up a script to try to get some clock settings
in this script you need to edit it to specify FHSE the main crystal frequency and the search range fmin and fmax
apparently the script works in some 'online python' shell/ide as well
https://www.python.org/shell/
https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_python_compiler
https://repl.it/languages/python3
note that the above script is based on those stm32 mcu that use the formula:
FCPU (system clock) = FHSE * N / ( M * P )
FUSB (usb clock - has to be 48mhz) = FHSE * N / ( M * Q )
i'm not sure if this is applicable across the board
it would generate entries like such
this may help somewhat if you started with a board that do not have an existing variant
https://github.com/stm32duino/wiki/wiki ... figuration
e.g.
https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_C ... t.cpp#L196
for steve's libmaple (for F4) it seem there are some 'standard' selections
https://github.com/stevstrong/Arduino_S ... cF4.c#L246
STM32F103 is different (simplier perhaps) which limits and reduce the permutations
for roger's libmaple (for F1) it seemed pre-defined for a few selections
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... up.cpp#L50
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... _f1.c#L126
messing with the prescalers m, n, p, q the system clock and usb clock = 48mhz, it may help if one starts with a variant for a different board, e.g. to get a blinky to run. but there will still be things to do like setting up the pin mappings and the clocks for other buses and peripherals (e.g. systick, adc etc)
of course, the more adventurous purpose of playing with these clocks is to overclock (or under clock) your stm32

and ( fcpu >= fmin and fcpu <= fmax):
