SWO also on CS of a SPI EEPROM is safe/state of the art?

i got schematics for a board that i should work on. it's stm32 L0 based.

they did put SWO also on CS of a SPI EEPROM. I'm not a hardware designer / debug protocol specialist but i could imagine debug scenarios where toggling the chip select of an EEPROM while debugging leads to unexpected results.

Would you say that putting SWO also on CS of a SPI EEPROM is safe / state of the art?

    Which STM32L0 do you have that has a SWO output?

    that's a good question.

    they did label pb3 at the stm32l072 as SWO, as well as the pin 6 at tag connect, and then they have pb3 also labelled as cs_ee at another sheet.

    after your question i looked into the l072 manual and found that it has no SWO -> the labeling is wrong.

    well, I'm not a hardware designer and try to work based on the info i get
