System Clock

Nucleo F412ZG 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 96MHz, driven by 8MHz high speed external clock.

Serial Port

Nucleo F412ZG board has 4 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART3. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Network interface

Ethernet over USB is configured as the default network interface

Programming and Debugging

Nucleo F412ZG board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

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
