Note

CAN feature requires CAN transceiver. Zephyr default configuration uses CAN_2 exclusively, as simultaneous use of CAN_1 and CAN_2 is not yet supported.

Pin Mapping

BLACK_F407ZG_PRO has 7 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_1_TX : PB6

  • UART_1_RX : PB7

  • UART_2_TX : PA2

  • UART_2_RX : PA3

  • USER_PB : PA0

  • LD3 : PD13

  • LD4 : PD12

  • LD5 : PD14

  • LD6 : PD15

  • USB DM : PA11

  • USB DP : PA12

  • CAN1_RX : PD0

  • CAN1_TX : PD1

  • CAN2_RX : PB12

  • CAN2_TX : PB13

  • SPI2 MISO : PC2

  • SPI2 MOSI : PC3

  • SPI2 SCK : PB10

System Clock

BLACK_F407ZG_PRO 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 168MHz, driven by 8MHz high speed external clock.

Serial Port

BLACK_F407ZG_PRO has up to 6 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1. Please note that ST-Link Virtual Com Port is not wired to chip serial port. In order to enable console output you should use a serial cable and connect it to UART2 pins (PA2/PA3).

Programming and Debugging

Applications for the black_f407zg_pro board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

BLACK_F407ZG_PRO board includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.

Flashing an application to BLACK_F407ZG_PRO

Here is an example for the Blinky application.

Run a serial host program to connect with your board:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Build and flash the application:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b black_f407zg_pro samples/basic/blinky
west flash

You should see user led “LD1” blinking.

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 black_f407zg_pro samples/hello_world
west debug
