STM32G071B Discovery
Overview
The STM32G071B-DISCO Discovery board is a demonstration and development platform for the STMicroelectronics Arm® Cortex® -M0+ core-based STM32G071RB USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery microcontroller. The STM32G071B-DISCO Discovery board is presented with all necessary interfaces for easy connection and interoperability with other USB Type-C™ devices. The STM32G071B-DISCO Discovery board is intended for discovery and display of USB Type-C™ port characteristics such as data role, power role, VBUS and IBUS monitoring. It offers an advanced user mode when associated with the STM32CubeMonUCPD software GUI and can be used as a USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery analyzer.

Connections and IOs
Each of the GPIO pins can be configured by software as output (push-pull or open-drain), as input (with or without pull-up or pull-down), or as peripheral alternate function. Most of the GPIO pins are shared with digital or analog alternate functions. All GPIOs are high current capable except for analog inputs.

Programming and Debugging
The STM32G071B Discovery board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.
Applications for the stm32g071b_disco 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 [5] runner, so its installation is required.
$ west flash
Flashing an application to the STM32G071B_DISCO
Here is an example for the Blinky application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b stm32g071b_disco samples/basic/blinky
west flash
You will see the LED blinking every second.
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 stm32g071b_disco samples/hello_world
west debug
