&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is somewhat a personal preference and it is hard for us to say what you feel you need for your product and your use. I would urge you to make up your minds yourselves about this. You strictly only need P8 for power supply and programming/debugging (1.8V, GND, SWDIO, SWDCLK), all other test points on these lines are more for convenience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also remember that for debugging you can make use of solder pads of components to solder on wires on nets that do not have test points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Andreas&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
