Pin Mapping
STM32F412G-DISCO Discovery kit has 8 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.
For more details please refer to 32F412GDISCOVERY board User Manual.
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
UART_2_TX : PA2
UART_2_RX : PA3
LD1 : PE0
LD2 : PE1
LD3 : PE2
LD4 : PE3
System Clock
STM32F412G-DISCO System Clock could be driven by internal or external oscillator, as well as main PLL clock. By default System clock is driven by PLL clock at 100MHz, driven internal oscillator.
Serial Port
The STM32F412G Discovery kit has up to 4 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.
Programming and Debugging
STM32F412G-DISCO Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface.
Applications for the stm32f412g_disco 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 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 STM32F412G-DISCO
Connect the STM32F412G-DISCO Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with your board:
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
Then build and flash an application. Here is an example for the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b stm32f412g_disco 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 stm32f412g_disco samples/hello_world
west debug
