Clock

This interface enables microcontroller clock configuration and management, offering two view modes:

  • Graphic view: Provides a schematic overview of the clock paths, clock sources, dividers, and multipliers(see Clock tree).

    • Drop-down menus and buttons allow modification of clock element values.

    • A zoom feature is available to enhance visibility.

  • Table view: Displays all clock sources in a tabular format (see Clock table).

In both views, users can:

  • Switch view (1): Switch between clock tree or table view.

  • Search (2): Search for specific clock components.

  • Resolve clock issues (3): Address any existing clock issues.

    • Conflicts are highlighted with red borders.

  • Reset clock (4): Reset the clock configuration to default settings.

  • Lock/unlock (5): Lock an element to prevent changes. It is possible to lock any type of clock element (for example, multiplexers, dividers, etc.)

  • Toggle detail view (6): Display or hide the detail view panel.

The following functionalities are only available in the clock tree:

  • Configure RCC (7): Navigate to the RCC configuration tab.

  • Highlight clock path (8): Visually emphasize the selected clock path.

    • Highlight all paths: Highlight all related paths.

    • Highlight occurrences: Highlight every occurrence of the selected element.

    • Highlight to origin: Highlight the path tracing back to its origin source.

The following functionalities are only available in the graphic view:

  • Navigation and zoom controls (9): The bottom toolbar provides tools for zooming (see Clock tree toolbar).

  • Keyboard shortcuts (10): Access a list of available shortcuts to speed up operations within the graphic view (see Clock tree shortcuts).

The following functionalities are only available in the table view:

  • Columns table settings (11): Customize visible table columns.

  • Pagination controls (12): Navigate through the table pages.

Note

When no issues are detected in the clock view, the Resolve clock issues button changes to No clock issues .

Clock tree toolbar

To toggle between the hand cursor (move mode) and the selection cursor (edit mode), user can press the Esc key , which makes it easier to pan the graph and then quickly return to selecting and editing graph elements.

Note

  • If you enter an invalid frequency for the selected clock sources, a message indicates that the current clock configuration does not provide a valid solution. You can change the clock source or keep the current configuration.
