STM32 Board Bring-up Checklist ============================== 1. Verify all power rails and reset timing. 2. Confirm SWD connectivity before enabling option-byte changes. 3. Validate HSE/HSI clock selection and PLL configuration. 4. Start with a low-speed GPIO heartbeat. 5. Enable peripherals individually and capture fault registers on failure. 6. Record firmware, board revision, and toolchain version for every test.
