FLASH is 0xFF but cannot be written if there's ECC and granule has been already written
In lower-end 'F0xx, GPIOC/GPIOD don't have AFR[2] registers
VDDA is pulled high when ADC is enabled if VDDA<2.4V and booster not enabled
STLink-V3 8MHz MCO output is not derived from crystal partial workaround available
After being cleared in NVIC outside an ISR, interrupt reappears if pending flag in NVIC is cleared too soon after removing the interrupt source
USB packet buffer memory in 'F042 is not bytewise writable
Clicked ETH/USB in CubeIDE/CubeMX, and it does not work
Bit-banding cannot be used with DMA
No atomic access through bit-banding to GPIO registers' bits except in 'F1
Toggling GPIO in 'H7 is slow due to complex bus structure
PF0/PF1/PC14/PC15 don't work GPIO overriden by oscillator enabled in RCC
Using interrupt or DMA, only first few data are transmitted correctly due to local variable as buffer - not ST-specific
Some interrupts invoke incorrect ISR if VTOR is not properly aligned
After setting GPIOA things stop to work due to overwriting SWD pins settings
Used this Cube/SPL function and it works weird uninitialized struct as parameter
Some TIM register fields are not continuous in newer STM32 families
Incorrect values from internal temperature sensor due to errorneous values in 'G4 datasheet
RTC loses half a second per powerup/reset Cube bug, fixed
On the RTC readout lock mechanism and its deficiencies
Cannot access BKPSRAM in CubeProgrammer unless register values are manipulated
GPIO pin does not output enough current if set to low GPIO_OSPEEDR setting
Not all GPIO pins are created equal e.g. PA10/PB12 pullup/down in 'F2/'F4/'F7 is only 10kΩ
'G0/'G4 USB-C Dead Battery conundrum pin influenced by other pin, unexpected pulldowns
UART Tx is not driven immediately after enabling UART and UART_BRR has to be set properly
The Y2k38 bug not STM32-specific
How to set TRGO in TIM16/TIM17? Also, TIM channel needs output enabled if controls another module, e.g. ADC.
Some time after peripheral (TIM, SPI, etc.) function finished, pin state changes resulting in unwanted clock/transition
Some interrupts cannot be disabled, and attempts to do so may lead to HardFault e.g. SysTick
Peripheral connected to other than a single pin in GPIO AF matrix #GPIO_is_poorly_documented
Timers don't support DIR/STEP encoders except in 'G4 - but a trick may exist
'G4 lifetime may be surprisingly short at elevated working temperatures
How to achieve consistent RTC readout?
TCM don't support highest clock frequencies in 'H723/725
