Nucleo L433RC-P board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.
Applications for the nucleo_l433rc_p 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 L433RC-P
Connect the Nucleo L433RC-P to your host computer using the USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with your Nucleo board.
$ picocom /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200
Now build and flash an application. Here is an example for Hello World.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_l433rc_p samples/hello_world
west flash
You should see the following message on the console:
$ Hello World! nucleo_l433rc_p
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
