Mikroe MINI-M4 for STM32
Overview
MINI-M4 for STM32 is a small ARM® Cortex™-M4 development board containing an STM32F415RG microcontroller. It is pin compatible with PIC16F887 and PIC18(L)F45K20 microcontrollers and it perfectly fits into a standard DIP40 socket. The board is equipped with a 16MHz SMD crystal oscillator, and a 32.768KHz crystal which can be used for the internal RTCC module. It has a reset button and three signal LEDs. It operates on a 3.3V power supply. An on-board voltage regulator allows the board to be powered directly from a USB cable.
Pin Mapping
This port is a starting point for your own customizations and not a complete port for a specific board. Most of the GPIOs on the STM32 SoC have been exposed in the external header with silk screen labels that match the SoC’s pin names.
For more information on Pin Mapping, please refer to MINI-M4 for STM32 User Manual.

The default configuration can be found in boards/mikroe/mini_m4_for_stm32/mikroe_mini_m4_for_stm32_defconfig
Serial Port
The Zephyr console output is assigned to USART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.
Programming and Debugging
Applications for the mikroe_mini_m4_for_stm32
board configuration can
be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and
Run an Application for more details).
Flashing
The initial state of the board is set to lock. When you flash, it will fail with the message:
Error: stm32x device protected
Unlocking with openocd makes it possible to flash.
$ openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/stlink-v2.cfg \
-f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/stm32f4x.cfg -c init\
-c "reset halt" -c "stm32f4x unlock 0" -c "reset run" -c shutdown
Here is an example for the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b mikroe_mini_m4_for_stm32 samples/hello_world
west flash
You should see the following message on the console:
Hello World! mikroe_mini_m4_for_stm32
Debugging
You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b mikroe_mini_m4_for_stm32 samples/hello_world
west debug
