Boot1 pin left floating

Hi,

I am now working on a design with stm32l, the BOOT1 pin was left floating in this design, Is that a valid configuration? Does BOOT1 have a built in pull down/up resistor, or is it an unstable configuration?

Thanks

BOOT0 would be more concerning, that would want a pull-down.

The general rule is to enforce the behaviour you want externally. The Data Manual should indicate the pin behaviour.

Hi levy.udi.001,

I recommend you to have a look to the Getting started hardware application note related to your STM32 product, it gives a hardware implementation overview of the development board features (Boot configuration, Power supplies...)

For example
