System Clock

Nucleo H533RE 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 240MHz, driven by an 24MHz high-speed external clock.

Serial Port

Nucleo H533RE board has up to 4 USARTs, 2 UARTs, and one LPUART. The Zephyr console output is assigned to USART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

Applications for the nucleo_h533re board can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

Nucleo H533RE board includes an ST-LINK/V3EC embedded debug tool interface. This probe allows to flash the board using various tools.

Board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer runner. Installation of STM32CubeProgrammer is then required to flash the board.

Alternatively, pyocd or jlink via an external probe can also be used to flash and debug the board if west is told to use it as runner, which can be done by passing either or -r pyocd, or -r jlink.

For pyocd additional target information needs to be installed. This can be done by executing the following commands.

$ pyocd pack --update
$ pyocd pack --install stm32h5

Flashing an application to Nucleo H533RE

Connect the Nucleo H533RE to your host computer using the USB port. Then build and flash an application. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

Run a serial host program to connect with your Nucleo board:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Then build and flash the application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_h533re samples/hello_world
west flash

You should see the following message on the console:

Hello World! nucleo_h533re

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_h533re samples/basic/blinky
west debug
