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.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_1 TX/RX : PC4/PC5

  • UART_2 TX/RX : PA2/PA3 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)

  • I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB8/PB9 (Arduino I2C)

  • I2C2 SCL/SDA : PA11/PA12

  • SPI1 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PB0/PA5/PA6/PA7 (Arduino SPI)

  • SPI2 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PB12/PB13/PB14/PB15

  • USER_PB : PC13

  • LD4 : PA5

  • PWM : PA6

  • ADC1 IN0 : PA0

  • ADC1 IN1 : PA1

  • DAC1_OUT1 : PA4

For more details please refer to STM32 Nucleo-64 board User Manual [3].

Programming and Debugging

Nucleo G071RB board includes an ST-LINK/V3 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the nucleo_g071rb board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

The board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer [5] 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

Flashing an application to Nucleo G071RB

Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_g071rb 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_g071rb samples/hello_world
west debug
