Zephyr board options

The STM32L562e is an SoC with Cortex-M33 architecture. Zephyr provides support for building for both Secure and Non-Secure firmware.

The BOARD options are summarized below:

BOARD

Description

stm32l562e_dk

For building Trust Zone Disabled firmware

stm32l562e_dk/stm32l562xx/ns

For building Non-Secure firmware

Here are the instructions to build Zephyr with a non-secure configuration, using TF-M IPC sample:

$ west build -b stm32l562e_dk/stm32l562xx/ns samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/

Once done, before flashing, you need to first run a generated script that will set platform option bytes config and erase platform (among others, option bit TZEN will be set).

$ ./build/tfm/api_ns/regression.sh
$ west flash

Please note that, after having run a TFM sample on the board, you will need to run ./build/tfm/api_ns/regression.sh once more to clean up the board from secure options and get back the platform back to a “normal” state and be able to run usual, non-TFM, binaries. Also note that, even then, TZEN will remain set, and you will need to use STM32CubeProgrammer to disable it fully, if required.

Connections and IOs

STM32L562E-DK Discovery Board has 8 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For more details please refer to STM32L562E-DK Discovery board User Manual.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • USART_1 TX/RX : PA9/PA10

  • USART_3 TX/RX : PC10/PC11

  • I2C_1 SCL/SDA : PB6/PB7

  • SPI_1 SCK/MISO/MOSI : PG2/PG3/PG4 (BT SPI bus)

  • SPI_3 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PE0/PG9/PB4/PB5 (Arduino SPI)

  • USER_PB : PC13

  • LD10 : PG12

  • PWM_2_CH1 : PA0

  • DAC1 : PA4

  • ADC1 : PC4

System Clock

STM32L562E-DK 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 110MHz, driven by 4MHz medium speed internal oscillator.

Serial Port

STM32L562E-DK Discovery board has 6 U(S)ARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to USART1. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

TFT LCD screen and touch panel

The TFT LCD screen and touch panel are supported for the STM32L562E-DK Discovery board. They can be tested using LVGL basic sample sample:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b stm32l562e_dk samples/subsys/display/lvgl

Programming and Debugging

STM32L562E-DK Discovery board includes an ST-LINK/V3E embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the stm32l562e_dk 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 can also be used to flash the board using the --runner (or -r) option:

$ west flash --runner openocd

Support can also be enabled for pyOCD by adding “pack” support with the following pyOCD commands:

$ pyocd pack --update
$ pyocd pack --install stm32l562qe

Flashing an application to STM32L562E-DK Discovery

Connect the STM32L562E-DK Discovery to your host computer using the USB port. Then build and flash an application. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

Run a serial host program to connect with your Nucleo board:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Then build and flash the application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b stm32l562e_dk samples/hello_world
west flash

You should see the following message on the console:

Hello World! stm32l562e_dk

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 stm32l562e_dk samples/hello_world
west debug
