Power and boot from Flash

Required

Use a regulated 3.3 V supply and a single ground plane. Feed VBAT from the same rail for this single-supply setup. Fit each bypass capacitor close to its corresponding contacts. Pull BOOT0 low with 10 kΩ.

Bench checks

  • Verify continuity from every supply and ground lead to its intended rail before powering up.
  • Confirm that the digital and analog rails are near 3.3 V and that BOOT0 remains low through reset.

Connection scenarios

Connect a Serial Wire Debug probe

Keep the power circuit in place. Use a probe that senses the target’s I/O voltage on VTref. Enable its SWD mode and connect the probe’s reset output if the probe supports connection under reset.

Bench checks

  • Check that VTref measures approximately 3.3 V with respect to probe ground.
  • Select the exact part in the debugger. Start at a low SWD clock rate and check that the debug port responds before programming Flash.
