Supported Features¶
The Zephyr stm32f4_disco board configuration supports the following hardware features:
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
|---|---|---|
| NVIC | on-chip | nested vector interrupt controller |
| UART | on-chip | serial port-polling; serial port-interrupt |
| PINMUX | on-chip | pinmux |
| GPIO | on-chip | gpio |
| PWM | on-chip | pwm |
Other hardware features are not yet supported on Zephyr porting.
The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
boards/arm/stm32f4_disco/stm32f4_disco_defconfig
Pin Mapping¶
STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovry kit has 8 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.
For mode details please refer to STM32F4DISCOVERY board User Manual.
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:¶
- UART_1_TX : PB6
- UART_1_RX : PB7
- UART_2_TX : PA2
- UART_2_RX : PA3
- USER_PB : PA0
- LD3 : PD13
- LD4 : PD12
- LD5 : PD14
- LD6 : PD15
System Clock¶
STM32F4DISCOVERY System Clock could be driven by internal or external oscillator, as well as main PLL clock. By default System clock is driven by PLL clock at 168MHz, driven by 8MHz high speed external clock.
Serial Port¶
STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit has up to 6 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.
Programming and Debugging¶
Flashing¶
STM32F4DISCOVERY 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 STM32F4DISCOVERY¶
The sample application Hello World is being used in this tutorial:
$<zephyr_root_path>/samples/hello_world
To build the Zephyr kernel and application, enter:
$ cd <zephyr_root_path>
$ source zephyr-env.sh
$ cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/hello_world/
$ make BOARD=stm32f4_disco
Connect the STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port. Then, enter the following command:
$ make BOARD=stm32f4_disco flash
Run a serial host program to connect with your board:
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
You should see the following message:
Hello World! arm
