Pin Mapping
The STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit has 8 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.
For more details please refer to STM32F429I-DISC1 board User Manual.
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
UART_1_TX : PA9
UART_1_RX : PA10
USER_PB : PA0
LD3 : PG13
LD4 : PG12
I2C_1_SCL : PB8
I2C_1_SDA : PB9
I2C_2_SCL : PB10
I2C_2_SDA : PB11
I2C_3_SCL : PA8
I2C_3_SDA : PC9
SPI_5_CS : PF6

OTG_HS_ID : PB12
OTG_HS_DM : PB14
OTG_HS_DP : PB15
System Clock
The STM32F429I-DISC1 System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as by the main PLL clock. By default the system clock is driven by the PLL clock at 168MHz, driven by an 8MHz high speed external clock.
Serial Port
The STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit has up to 8 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART1. The default communication settings are 115200 8N1.
USB Port
The STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit has a USB FS capable Micro-B port. It is connected to the on-chip OTG_HS peripheral, but operates in FS mode only since no HS PHY is present. The board supports device and host OTG operation, but only device mode has been tested with Zephyr at this time.
Programming and Debugging
The STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit includes a ST-LINK/V2-B embedded debug tool interface.
Applications for the stm32f429i_disc1 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, JLink, or pyOCD can also be used to flash the board using
the --runner (or -r) option:
$ west flash --runner openocd
$ west flash --runner jlink
$ west flash --runner pyocd
First, connect the STM32F429I-DISC1 Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port to prepare it for flashing. Then build and flash your application.
Here is an example for the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b stm32f429i_disc1 samples/hello_world
west flash
Run a serial host program to connect with your board:
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
Then, press the RESET button (The black one), you should see the following message:
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 stm32f429i_disc1 samples/hello_world
west debug
