Peter Drescher / ST_401_84MHZ

Lib to switch the clock speed of the ST Nucleo to 84MHz. The internal RC oscillator is multiplied with the PLL.

Not needed with actual mbed lib

You don't need this lib to speed up the cpu clock. The actual mbed lib is using 84 MHz cpu speed out of the box.

The ST Nucleo board is running on 16 MHz out of the box. To speed up the cpu to the maximum speed we have to change the clock setting. Simply add 

          #include "ST_F401_84MHZ.h" 
          F401_init84 myinit(0);

in front of your program. This should be the first line in main to ensure the frequency is changed before other objects are initialised.

This frequency is generated out of the internal RC oscillator. The frequency is not so stable like a crystal ! My board is fluctuate +- 40KHz at 84MHz at room temperature.

If you need a more precise timing source, you have to add a external crystal. /media/uploads/dreschpe/oszillator.jpg

You need : X3 8MHz crystal , C33 and C34 18pF 0603 , R35 and R37 0R 0603 or you can simply use wire to short this two resistor pads. A call of SystemClock_Config_84MHz_external(); will config the pll to generate 84MHz out of the 8MHz crystal oscillator.

Add 

          #include "ST_F401_84MHZ.h" 
          F401_init84 myinit(1);

in front of your code to use the external 8MHz crystal.

If you want to use a different crystal or frequency : the STM32CubeMX tool is your friend :-)

external crystal value

The mbed lib is using HSE_VALUE defined in the file stm32f4xx_hal_config.h to calculate SystemCoreClock, which is used for all timings : baudrate or wait() ... This value is the frequency of the external crystal. It is defined to 25MHz at the moment I have asked to change it to 8MHz default. You can set the variable SystemCoreClock to 84000000 to patch this . If you use the internal oscillator the calculated value is ok The value was changed to 8 MHz.
