Nucleo F334R8

Overview

STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with STM32F334R8 MCU, supports Arduino and ST morpho connectivity.

The STM32 Nucleo board provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts, and build prototypes with the STM32 microcontroller, choosing from the various combinations of performance, power consumption and features.

The Arduino* Uno V3 connectivity support and the ST morpho headers allow easy functionality expansion of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields.

The STM32 Nucleo board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger and programmer.

The STM32 Nucleo board comes with the STM32 comprehensive software HAL library together with various packaged software examples.

More information about the board can be found at the Nucleo F334R8 website [1].

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.

Programming and Debugging

Nucleo F334R8 board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the nucleo_f334r8 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 [4] 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 F334R8

Connect the Nucleo F334R8 to your host computer using the USB port, then build and flash an application. Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_f334r8 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 Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_f334r8 samples/basic/blinky
west debug
