Using SWD and USB DFU to flash code

Split to a new thread as this is a new question.

Thank you for the solution. However, I have another doubt here. While referring to: STM32H5 MCU hardware development. i came across- 

 

Here it says for DFU (device firmware upgrade) for STM32H503 series is supported by PA11/ PA12. So does this mean that both SWDIO, SWCLK and the port PA11/PA12 can be used for the firmware update?

Please mark the solution in the other thread.

Yes - and all the other options.

But only SWD provides debug.

And you will have to provide additional hardware for USB ...

But I have configured all other pins in my design and only left alone with SWDIO and SWCLK. So should it be a problem if I want update the firmware using these two pins?

You marked the wrong post in the other thread - you need to mark which ever one you think actually provided the solution to your problem!

Obviously, if you want to use them for USB then you can't use them for anything else!

Thank you for the explanation. However, while referring to STM32H5 MCU hardware development: i came across- 

The table says that DFU (device firmware update) can be done using PA11/ PA12 for STMH503 series, so does this indicate that both SWDIO, SWCLK and PA11/PA12 can be used for software update?
