Other hardware features are not yet supported on Zephyr porting.
The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
boards/arm/stm32f429i_disc1/stm32f429i_disc1_defconfig
Pin Mapping¶
The STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit has 8 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.
For mode details please refer to STM32F429I-DISC1 board User Manual.
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:¶
- UART_1_TX : PA9
- UART_1_RX : PA10
- UART_2_TX : PA2
- UART_2_RX : PA3
- USER_PB : PA0
- LD3 : PG13

System Clock¶
The STM32F429I-DISC1 System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as by the main PLL clock. By default the system clock is driven by the PLL clock at 168MHz, driven by an 8MHz high speed external clock.
Serial Port¶
The STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit has up to 8 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART1. The default communication settings are 115200 8N1.
Programming and Debugging¶
Flashing¶
The STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit includes a ST-LINK/V2-B embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.
Flashing an application to STM32F429I-DISC1¶
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=stm32f429i_disc1
Connect the STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port. Then, enter the following command:
$ make BOARD=stm32f429i_disc1 flash
Run a serial host program to connect with your board:
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
Then, press the RESET button (The black one), you should see the following message:
Hello World! arm
