ST Nucleo F042K6
Overview
The STM32 Nucleo-32 development board with STM32F042K6 MCU, supports Arduino nano connectivity.
The STM32 Nucleo board provides an affordable, and flexible way for users to try out new concepts, and build prototypes with the STM32 microcontroller, choosing from the various combinations of performance, power consumption and features.
The STM32 Nucleo board integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger and programmer.
The STM32 Nucleo board comes with the STM32 comprehensive software HAL library together with various packaged software examples.
More information about the board can be found at the Nucleo F042K6 website [1].

Connections and IOs
Each of the GPIO pins can be configured by software as output (push-pull or open-drain), as input (with or without pull-up or pull-down), or as peripheral alternate function. Most of the GPIO pins are shared with digital or analog alternate functions.
Board connectors:
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
UART_1 TX/RX : PA2/PA15 (ST-Link Virtual COM Port)
I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB6/PB7 (Arduino I2C)

Programming and Debugging
Applications for the nucleo_f042k6 board configuration can be built and
flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and
Run an Application for more details).
Flashing
Nucleo F042K6 board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in the Zephyr SDK.
Flashing an application to Nucleo F042K6
Here is an example for the Blinky application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_f042k6 samples/basic/blinky
west 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.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_f042k6 samples/basic/blinky
west debug
