STM32 Unexpected reset when a GPIO pin gets HIGH

Question

I am using the STM32f030C8T6 MCU on a custom PCB. I have 2 inputs on pins PB2 and PB0, wierldy enough, when these pins become high the MCU resets.

I had 2 assumption:

1: this somehow causes the reset pin to go low i.e. hardware problem but I hooked the pin to my scope and it stays HIGH (reset is active low)

2: there is something wrong with the GPIOB register, but i set another pin from GPIOB as an input and it works fine and doesn't suddenly restrart.

I use the HAL library and cubemx to define the state of the pins. the code i put in is as simple as follows:

while(1){
    check = HAL_GPIO_ReadPin (GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_0);
          if(check){
          for(i=0;i<3;i++){
                  HAL_GPIO_WritePin (GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_6, GPIO_PIN_SET);
                  HAL_Delay(1000);
                  HAL_GPIO_WritePin (GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_6, GPIO_PIN_RESET);
                  HAL_Delay(1000);
              }
          }
}

It's just to indicate what happens since there is an LED connected to pin 6. I ran the same code just with a different pin from port B (GPIOB) and it worked fine, I am trying to understand the cause of this unwanted restart. I tried it on both pins PB0 and PB2 and both result in a reset.

Below is the picture of the schematic used:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

STM32 require all Power supplies (digital and analogue + VBat) to be connected and having the decoupling capacitors. If you did noy connect it the chip will not work correctly.

PCB has left the VDDA floating howvere, would that have anything to do with this since PB0 is an ADC channels?

Do not make such a assumptions - read the uC documentation.
