[SOLVED] STM32 - HSE OSC 16 MHz fails to start

[Bianconero]

Hi, I have a problem with proper main clock configuration in STM32F030K6T6.
I've connected an external crystal 16 MHz with 2x15 pF caps, but the HSE is not starting.
Variable HSEStatus remains 0, so the PLL config doesn't execute.
And yes, I've set the HSE_VALUE to ((uint32_t)16000000 in header file.

Here's my startup code:

void SystemInit (void)
{    
  /* Set HSION bit */
  RCC->CR |= (uint32_t)0x00000001;

#if defined (STM32F0XX_MD) || defined (STM32F030X8)
  /* Reset SW[1:0], HPRE[3:0], PPRE[2:0], ADCPRE and MCOSEL[2:0] bits */
  RCC->CFGR &= (uint32_t)0xF8FFB80C;
#else
  /* Reset SW[1:0], HPRE[3:0], PPRE[2:0], ADCPRE, MCOSEL[2:0], MCOPRE[2:0] and PLLNODIV bits */
  RCC->CFGR &= (uint32_t)0x08FFB80C;
#endif /* STM32F0XX_MD or STM32F030X8 */
  
  /* Reset HSEON, CSSON and PLLON bits */
  RCC->CR &= (uint32_t)0xFEF6FFFF;

  /* Reset HSEBYP bit */
  RCC->CR &= (uint32_t)0xFFFBFFFF;

  /* Reset PLLSRC, PLLXTPRE and PLLMUL[3:0] bits */
  RCC->CFGR &= (uint32_t)0xFFC0FFFF;

  /* Reset PREDIV1[3:0] bits */
  RCC->CFGR2 &= (uint32_t)0xFFFFFFF0;

  /* Reset USARTSW[1:0], I2CSW, CECSW and ADCSW bits */
  RCC->CFGR3 &= (uint32_t)0xFFFFFEAC;

  /* Reset HSI14 bit */
  RCC->CR2 &= (uint32_t)0xFFFFFFFE;

  /* Disable all interrupts */
  RCC->CIR = 0x00000000;

  /* Configure the System clock frequency, AHB/APBx prescalers and Flash settings */
  SetSysClock();
}

static void SetSysClock(void)
{
  __IO uint32_t StartUpCounter = 0, HSEStatus = 0;
  
  /* SYSCLK, HCLK, PCLK configuration ----------------------------------------*/
  /* Enable HSE */    
  RCC->CR |= ((uint32_t)RCC_CR_HSEON);
 
  /* Wait till HSE is ready and if Time out is reached exit */
  do
  {
    HSEStatus = RCC->CR & RCC_CR_HSERDY;
    StartUpCounter++;  
  } while((HSEStatus == 0) && (StartUpCounter != HSE_STARTUP_TIMEOUT));

  if ((RCC->CR & RCC_CR_HSERDY) != RESET)
  {
    HSEStatus = (uint32_t)0x01;
  }
  else
  {
    HSEStatus = (uint32_t)0x00;
  }  

  if (HSEStatus == (uint32_t)0x01)
  {
    /* Enable Prefetch Buffer and set Flash Latency */
    FLASH->ACR = FLASH_ACR_PRFTBE | FLASH_ACR_LATENCY;
 
    /* HCLK = SYSCLK */
    RCC->CFGR |= (uint32_t)RCC_CFGR_HPRE_DIV1;
      
    /* PCLK = HCLK */
    RCC->CFGR |= (uint32_t)RCC_CFGR_PPRE_DIV1;

    /* PLL configuration = HSE * 3 = 48 MHz */
    RCC->CFGR &= (uint32_t)((uint32_t)~(RCC_CFGR_PLLSRC | RCC_CFGR_PLLXTPRE | RCC_CFGR_PLLMULL));
    RCC->CFGR |= (uint32_t)(RCC_CFGR_PLLSRC_PREDIV1 | RCC_CFGR_PLLXTPRE_PREDIV1 | RCC_CFGR_PLLMULL3);
            
    /* Enable PLL */
    RCC->CR |= RCC_CR_PLLON;

    /* Wait till PLL is ready */
    while((RCC->CR & RCC_CR_PLLRDY) == 0)
    {
    }

    /* Select PLL as system clock source */
    RCC->CFGR &= (uint32_t)((uint32_t)~(RCC_CFGR_SW));
    RCC->CFGR |= (uint32_t)RCC_CFGR_SW_PLL;    

    /* Wait till PLL is used as system clock source */
    while ((RCC->CFGR & (uint32_t)RCC_CFGR_SWS) != (uint32_t)RCC_CFGR_SWS_PLL)
    {
    }
  }
  else
  { /* If HSE fails to start-up, the application will have wrong clock 
         configuration. User can add here some code to deal with this error */

//I turn on here my debug LED
				 
  }

I replaced the crystal to 8 MHz, replaced the caps and now it works.
