Programming and Debugging

Applications for the nucleo_l412rb_p board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

Nucleo L412RB-P board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in the Zephyr SDK since v0.9.2.

Flashing an application to Nucleo L412RB-P

Connect the Nucleo L412RB-P to your host computer using the USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with your Nucleo board.

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Now build and flash an application. Here is an example for Hello World.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_l412rb_p samples/hello_world
west flash

You should see the following message on the console:

$ Hello World! nucleo_l412rb_p

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_l412rb_p samples/hello_world
