Pin Mapping

STM32F469I-DISCO Discovery kit has 9 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For more details please refer to 32F469IDISCOVERY board User Manual.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_3 TX/RX : PB10/PB11 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)

  • UART_6 TX/RX : PG14/PG9 (Arduino Serial)

  • I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB8/PB9 (Arduino I2C)

  • SPI2 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PH6/PD3/PB14/PB15 (Arduino SPI)

  • SDIO D0/D1/D2/D3/CLK/Detect : PC8/PC9/PC10/PC11/PC12/PG2

  • USB DM : PA11

  • USB DP : PA12

  • USER_PB : PA0

  • LD1 : PG6

  • LD2 : PD4

  • LD3 : PD5

  • LD4 : PK3

System Clock

STM32F469I-DISCO 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 180MHz, driven by 8MHz high speed external clock.

Serial Port

The STM32F469 Discovery kit has up to 8 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART3. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

Applications for the stm32f469i_disco board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

STM32F469I-DISCO Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.

Flashing an application to STM32F469I-DISCO

First, connect the STM32F469I-DISCO 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 stm32f469i_disco samples/hello_world
west flash

Run a serial host program to connect with your board:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

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 stm32f469i_disco samples/hello_world
west debug
