System Clock
B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as the main PLL clock. By default the System clock is driven by the PLL clock at 80MHz, driven by 16MHz high speed internal oscillator.
Serial Port
B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit has 4 U(S)ARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART1. Default settings are 115200 8N1.
Programming and Debugging
B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.
Flashing
The board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer runner, so its installation is required.
Alternatively, OpenOCD or JLink can also be used to flash the board using
the --runner (or -r) option:
$ west flash --runner openocd
$ west flash --runner jlink
Flashing an application to B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit
Connect the B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with your Discovery board. For example:
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
Then, build and flash in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b b_l4s5i_iot01a samples/hello_world
west flash
You should see the following message on the console:
Hello World! arm
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 b_l4s5i_iot01a samples/hello_world
