Generic L4 variants disable SWD debugging without any notice · Issue #2047 · stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32 · GitHub

I have a custom STM32L486-based board and wanted to debug via SWD using ST-Link V3.
So I'm using release 2.5.0 and selected Generic STM32L4 series with board PN Generic STM32L486RGTx and the following options:

So the code uploads okay, but the debugging session would not start. After hours of battling with openocd configs and trying multiple different options I discovered it can only connect after chip was previously erased. This made me wonder if SWD pins might be disabled.

I checked variant's PeriperalPins.c

//*** USB *** #if defined(HAL_PCD_MODULE_ENABLED) || defined(HAL_HCD_MODULE_ENABLED) WEAK const PinMap PinMap_USB_OTG_FS[] = { {PA_8, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_AF_PP, GPIO_PULLUP, GPIO_AF10_OTG_FS)}, // USB_OTG_FS_SOF {PA_9, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_INPUT, GPIO_NOPULL, GPIO_AF_NONE)}, // USB_OTG_FS_VBUS {PA_10, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_AF_OD, GPIO_PULLUP, GPIO_AF10_OTG_FS)}, // USB_OTG_FS_ID {PA_11, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_AF_PP, GPIO_PULLUP, GPIO_AF10_OTG_FS)}, // USB_OTG_FS_DM {PA_12, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_AF_PP, GPIO_PULLUP, GPIO_AF10_OTG_FS)}, // USB_OTG_FS_DP {PA_13, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_AF_PP, GPIO_PULLUP, GPIO_AF10_OTG_FS)}, // USB_OTG_FS_NOE {PC_9, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_AF_PP, GPIO_PULLUP, GPIO_AF10_OTG_FS)}, // USB_OTG_FS_NOE {NC, NP, 0} }; #endif

PA_13 is initialized there, which kills the debugging ability.
As soon as I redefined this PinMap as a strong in my sketch with that line definitions commented out

//   {PA_13, USB_OTG_FS, STM_PIN_DATA(STM_MODE_AF_PP, GPIO_PULLUP, GPIO_AF10_OTG_FS)}, // USB_OTG_FS_NOE

debugging started working like a charm!

Would it be better to define those pins overridden if needed explicitly? Like, wrap it in an ifdef for example when debug symbols are enabled, or smth similar. Also please advise on the best solution in my case. I can keep the redefined PinMap_USB_OTG_FS[], or even create my own board variant, but the fact that this isn't mentioned anywhere and I had to kill like a day for finding this, is certainly discouraging.
Thanks
