6.5 Debug & Programming
The HST-300 supports the two pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface and offers flexible and powerful
mechanism for non-intrusive debugging of program code. Breakpoints, single stepping, and instruction trace
capture of code execution flow are part of this support.
6.6 Clocks
The HST-300 Series requires two clocks, a high frequency clock and a low frequency clock.
The high frequency clock is provided on-module by a high-accuracy 32-MHz crystal as required by the
nRF52832 for radio operation.
The low frequency clock can be provided internally by an RC oscillator or synthesized from the fast clock; or
externally by a 32.768 kHz crystal. An external crystal provides the lowest power consumption and greatest
accuracy. Using the internal RC oscillator with calibration provides acceptable performance for BLE
applications at a reduced cost and slight increase in power consumption. Note: the ANT protocol requires the
use of an external crystal.
