if in the stm32cubeide clock configuration the extrenal oscialtors aren't highlighted it means that i dont need extrenal oscialtor on my custom board?

    If pwm is used for example to control motor speed, no need for crystal in that case. No need for crystal for i2c.

    Hello @transistor and welcome to the ST community,

    That depends on your application. For example, if you plan to use FDCAN interface you need a crystal.

    Toggling a LED doesn't need a crystal. You can use HSI as a clock source.

    i want to use i2c, pwm so the HSI should be enough?
