PLL1.Q not configured

Error message

PLL1.Q not configured

What it means

In the STM32WBA rcc `init`, when SAI1 is muxed to `Pll1Q` (`sai1sel: Sai1sel::Pll1Q`) the code does `pll1.q.expect("PLL1.Q not configured")`, panicking if PLL1's Q (and Q-div) output was never configured. The library needs a concrete audioclk frequency to program the SAI clock tree and cannot synthesize one.

Solutions

  1. Configure PLL1's Q output in the rcc config: `pll1: { q: Some(PllConfig { div: ..., freq: ... }) }`
  2. Or choose a different SAI1 clock source that is actually configured (e.g. Hsi)
  3. Verify the resulting audioclk frequency meets your audio sample-rate requirements

Example fix

// before
let config = rcc::Config { mux: rcc::mux::Sai1sel::Pll1Q, pll1: Pll1 { p: Some(..), q: None, .. } };
// after
let config = rcc::Config {
    mux: rcc::mux::Sai1sel::Pll1Q,
    pll1: Pll1 { p: Some(..), q: Some(PllConfig { div: 4, freq: Hertz(49_152_000) }), .. },
    ..
};
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

if config.mux.sai1sel == rcc::mux::Sai1sel::Pll1Q && config.pll1.q.is_none() {
    panic!("sai1sel=Pll1Q requires config.pll1.q to be configured");
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Setting `config.mux.sai1sel = Sai1sel::Pll1Q` in rcc config while `config.pll1.q` (Pll1QDiv and frequency fields) is `None`.

Common situations: Selecting a PLL1 Q audio clock without defining PLL1's Q output; copying an SAI audio config where the other board used PLL1P or HSI; incomplete pll1 setup (only P configured).
