[SOLVED] designing ISP header for STM32F030F4P6

[pcsandhya82]

Hello,

I am designing a board using STM32F030F4P6. I have to use STM32F0 Discovery board STLINK for ISP. Checking the schematics of Discovery board, I found out that the ISP connector (SWD) is connected as follows:

1.3.3V
2.SWCLK
3.GND
4.SWIO
5.NRST
6.PB3 of the STM32 controller on board.

Now, I have trouble understanding the 6th connection. the signal name is given as T_SWO and it is connected to PB3. what is this signal? In TSSOP 20 package of STM32F030F4P6, this pin(PB3) is not there. so where should I connect 6th pin of ISP header? or can i leave it open?

Got reply from STMicro forum.

"PB3 SWO is typically used in support of the SWV (Serial Wire Viewer), as far as I'm aware the Cortex-M0 does not support this functionality (Debug/Trace), or JTAG, so the pin can be left unconnected.

If may be connected in the schematic due to the way ST shares a common footprint over several processor families, allowing migration up and down the feature/power/cost line.

I, personally, would opt to use the standard 10-pin 0.05" pitch ARM programming header over the ST ISP one."
