ST Nucleo G070RB
Overview
The Nucleo G070RB board features an ARM Cortex-M0+ based STM32G070RB MCU with a wide range of connectivity support and configurations. Here are some highlights of the Nucleo G070RB board:
STM32 microcontroller in QFP64 package
Two types of extension resources:
Arduino Uno V3 connectivity
ST morpho extension pin headers for full access to all STM32 I/Os
On-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer with SWD connector
Flexible board power supply:
USB VBUS or external source(3.3V, 5V, 7 - 12V)
Power management access point
Three LEDs: USB communication (LD1), user LED (LD4), power LED (LD3)
Two push-buttons: USER and RESET
More information about the board can be found at the Nucleo G070RB website [1].

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file: boards/st/nucleo_g070rb/nucleo_g070rb_defconfig
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. All GPIOs are high current capable except for analog inputs.

Programming and Debugging
Applications for the nucleo_g070rb board configuration can be built and
flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and
Run an Application for more details).
Flashing
Nucleo G070RB board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.
Flashing an application to Nucleo G070RB
Here is an example for the Blinky application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_g070rb 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 Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_g070rb samples/hello_world
west debug
