Question

PTP clock source is SYSCLK or HCLK?

The reference manual for STM32F407 shows (RM0090) that the PTP clock is running from the SYSCLK directly, however, the PTP chapter says that it is controlled by the HCLK. I'm confused now, and experiments show that it is running from HCLK actually. So either the clock diagram in the chapter 7 is wrong (and also CubeMX) or I misunderstand something. Can I drive PTP clock from SYSCLK?

    The PTP clock source is the HCLK.

    I reported Internally.

    STM32CubeMX issue tracked in internal ticket 141633.

    As always, I remind that obviously the same issue must be checked and updated for all F1, F2, F4, F7 series MCUs with ETH peripheral in reference manuals and CubeMX.
