Programming and Debugging
The olimex_lora_stm32wl_devkit board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.
| flash | debug | attach | rtt | debugserver | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| jlink | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| pyocd | ✅ (default) | ✅ (default) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Applications for the olimex_lora_stm32wl_devkit board configuration can be built the
usual way (see Building an Application).
The board contains an on-board debug probe which implements the CMSIS-DAP interface.
It can also be debugged and flashed with an external debug probe connected to the SWD pins.
The built-in debug probe works with pyOCD, but requires installing an additional pack to support the STM32WL:
$ pyocd pack --update
$ pyocd pack --install stm32wl
Flashing an application
Connect the board to your host computer and build and flash an application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b olimex_lora_stm32wl_devkit samples/hello_world
west flash
If you’re using devkit revision C or higher, you’ll need to specify the appropriate revision letter to enable the VDDIO supply to the UEXT1 connector and CON1 pin header.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b olimex_lora_stm32wl_devkit@D samples/hello_world
west flash
Run a serial terminal to connect with your board. By default, usart1 is
accessible via the built-in USB to UART converter.
$ picocom --baud 115200 /dev/ttyACM0
Debugging
You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Blinky application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b olimex_lora_stm32wl_devkit samples/basic/blinky
west debug
On board revisions C or newer:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b olimex_lora_stm32wl_devkit@D samples/basic/blinky
west debug
