Pin Mapping

STM32F072-EVAL Discovery kit has 6 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For mode details please refer to STM32F072-EVAL board User Manual.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_2_TX : PD5
  • UART_2_RX : PD6
  • TAMPER_PB : PC13
  • JOYSTICK_RIGHT_PB : PE3
  • JOYSTICK_LEFT_PB : PF2
  • JOYSTICK_UP_PB : PF9

System Clock

STM32F072-EVAL System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as the main PLL clock. By default the System clock is driven by the PLL clock at 48MHz, driven by an 8MHz high speed internal clock.

Serial Port

STM32F072-EVAL Discovery kit has up to 4 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

Applications for the stm32f072_eval board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Build an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

STM32F072-EVAL Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.

Flashing an application to STM32F072-EVAL

Here is an example for the Blinky Application application.

# On Linux/macOS
cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/basic/blinky
mkdir build && cd build

# On Windows
cd %ZEPHYR_BASE%\samples\basic\blinky
mkdir build & cd build

# Use cmake to configure a Ninja-based build system:
cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=stm32f072_eval ..

# Now run ninja on the generated build system:
ninja
ninja flash

You will see the LED blinking every second.

Debugging

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Blinky Application application.

# On Linux/macOS
cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/basic/blinky
# If you already made a build directory (build) and ran cmake, just 'cd build' instead.
mkdir build && cd build

# On Windows
cd %ZEPHYR_BASE%\samples\basic\blinky
# If you already made a build directory (build) and ran cmake, just 'cd build' instead.
mkdir build & cd build

# Use cmake to configure a Ninja-based build system:
cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=stm32f072_eval ..

# Now run ninja on the generated build system:
ninja debug
