Nucleo L432KC Board has 6 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.
Available pins:
For more details please refer to STM32 Nucleo-32 board User Manual.
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
UART_1_TX : PA9
UART_1_RX : PA10
UART_2_TX : PA2
UART_2_RX : PA3
I2C_1_SCL : PB6
I2C_1_SDA : PB7
PWM_2_CH1 : PA0

System Clock
Nucleo L432KC 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 80MHz, driven by 16MHz high speed internal oscillator.
Serial Port
Nucleo L432KC board has 3 U(S)ARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.
Programming and Debugging
Nucleo L432KC board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.
Applications for the nucleo_l432kc 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 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 Nucleo L432KC
Connect the Nucleo L432KC to your host computer using the USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with your Nucleo board.
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
Now build and flash an application. Here is an example for Hello World.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_l432kc samples/hello_world
west flash
You should see the following message on the console:
$ Hello World! arm
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_l432kc samples/hello_world
west debug
