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.

Board connectors:

Nucleo F030R8 connectors

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_1 TX/RX : PA9/PA10

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

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

  • I2C2 SCL/SDA : PB10/PB11

  • SPI1 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PB6/PA5/PA6/PA7 (Arduino SPI)

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

  • USER_PB : PC13

  • LD1 : PA5

  • ADC : PA0

For more details please refer to STM32 Nucleo-64 board User Manual [4].

Programming and Debugging

Nucleo F030R8 board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the nucleo_f030r8 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, prob-rs 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 prob-rs

Flashing an application to Nucleo F030R8

Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_f030r8 samples/basic/blinky
west flash

You will see the LED blinking every second.

If using the C-01 board, select revision ‘1’ that supports the board.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_f030r8@1 samples/basic/blinky
west flash

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 nucleo_f030r8 samples/basic/blinky
west debug

Again you have to use the adapted command for C-01.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_f030r8@1 samples/basic/blinky
west debug

Board Revisions

Nucleo F030R8 has some version of board variants. STM32 Nucleo-64 board User Manual [4] mentions to Nucleo board variants.

The board version MB1136 C-01 or MB1136 C-02 is mentioned on the sticker, placed on the bottom side of the PCB.
The board marking MB1136 C-01 corresponds to a board, configured as HSE not used.
The board marking MB1136 C-02 (or higher) corresponds to a board, configured to use ST-LINK MCO as the clock input.

Using revision 2 adapted for C-02(or higher) as default when not explicitly selecting revisions. If using the C-01 board, select revision 1. Please see Flashing section.
