Regarding standalone usage of CW UFO Boaed

Hi,
I am trying to use the CW L2 starter kit with an oscilloscope. I have a couple of questions:

  1. While soldering the crystal, so I need to solder any capacitor (with the crystal)?
  2. My target is stm32f3/f4 boards. Should I use their internal clocks? Or it is recommended to use the crystal?

Thanks

  1. No capacitor needed, and no solder either: CW308 UFO — ChipWhisperer Documentation

  2. That’s up to you.

Thanks a lot. I have a follow-up question: I am going to program the board using STM32CubeIde. If I am using the crystal provided with the CW kit (and not the internal clock of the STM32). How should I set my clock generator from CUBEIDE?

I’m sure it’s possible to use that IDE but we don’t provide support for these.
I recommend you start by building firmware using the build process that we teach in our tutorials.
Once you have that working, then move onto using STM32CubeIDE.
