Programming and Debugging

The Nucleo F439ZI board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

Flashing

The board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer [4] 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

Flashing an application to the Nucleo F439ZI

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 nucleo_f439zi 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 nucleo_f439zi samples/hello_world
west debug
