READ_BIT(RCC->CR, RCC_CR_HSERDY) fails with a HAL_TIMEOUT when running blinky in debug.

[lwatcdr]

While in debug I get and error in this line of code. I do not get an error when running code not in debug.

/* Wait till HSE is ready */
while (READ_BIT(RCC->CR, RCC_CR_HSERDY) == 0U)
{
if ((HAL_GetTick() - tickstart) > HSE_TIMEOUT_VALUE)
{
return HAL_TIMEOUT;
}
}

It takes too long, or the HSE is not present / connected.

Check board level jumper or solder-bridges (SB)

Clock typically derived from MCU providing ST-LINK, the frequency and presence of this can be changed/disabled

Check the HSE is populated, or wired to another source.

Check Systick isn't clocking faster than anticipated.

I left out on detail it works fine when I run it but fails when I am trying to debug it

Humans run more slowly..

Are you single-stepping this?

Check DBGMCU settings/options, if it is allowing interrupts to continue whilst stopped? How is HAL_Delay() / HAL_GetTicks() implemented in your build?

[lwatcdr]

No that would take forever. I have used break points to find where the error is set. I increased the HSE time out to 10000 so it should be plenty of time.
Start in debug. Hit continue. It runs and then hits a breakpoint on the return a time_out. 
No single stepping was used in the creation of this issue.

I am encountering the same mentioned problem. Could you please share the solution or any guidance on how to resolve it?

[Hneel]

Facing the same problem here. 

I've tried setting the input frequency to 16 as suggested, but that didn't help.

Any other solutions?

 

PS: I've downloaded and installed the latest versions of STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeMX today.

Here are some detail pictures of my board. I think these are the correct default settings. (I got the board from a customer. I don't think they changed anything to the jumpers.)

[Hneel]

Never mind. Found the fix. 

The setting for HSE must be set to 'Crystel/Ceramic Resonator', just like with the LSE. 

Now I can debug my project.
