Connections and IOs

The Nucleo F303K8 Board has 1 GPIO controller. This controllers is responsible for input/output, pull-up, etc.

Board connectors:

Nucleo F303K8 connectors

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

The Nucleo F303K8 board features an Arduino Zero V3 connector. Board is configured as follows:

  • UART_2 TX/RX : PA2/PA15 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)

  • I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB7/PB6

  • SPI1 CS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PA_4/PA_5/PA_6/PA_7

  • LD2 : PB3

System Clock

The Nucleo F303K8 System Clock can be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as by the main PLL clock. By default the System Clock is driven by the PLL clock at 72 MHz. The input to the PLL is an 8 MHz internal clock supply.

Serial Port

The Nucleo F303K8 board has 2 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

The Nucleo F303K8 board 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, JLink, or pyOCD can also be used to flash the board using the --runner (or -r) option:

$ west flash --runner openocd
$ west flash --runner jlink
$ west flash --runner pyocd
