Overview

The STM32 Nucleo-144 boards offer combinations of performance and power that provide an affordable and flexible way for users to build prototypes and try out new concepts. For compatible boards, the SMPS significantly reduces power consumption in Run mode.

The Arduino-compatible ST Zio connector expands functionality of the Nucleo open development platform, with a wide choice of specialized Arduino* Uno V3 shields.

The STM32 Nucleo-144 board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer.

The STM32 Nucleo-144 board comes with the STM32 comprehensive free software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube MCU Package.

Key Features

  • STM32 microcontroller in LQFP144 package

  • 3 user LEDs

  • 2 user and reset push-buttons

  • 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator

  • Board connectors:

    • USB with Micro-AB
    • SWD
    • Ethernet RJ45 (depending on STM32 support)
    • ST Zio connector including Arduino* Uno V3

  • Flexible power-supply options: ST-LINK USB VBUS or external sources.

  • On-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer with USB re-enumeration capability: mass storage, virtual COM port and debug port.

  • Comprehensive free software libraries and examples available with the

  • STM32Cube MCU package.

  • Arm* Mbed Enabled* compliant (only for some Nucleo part numbers)

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

The Nucleo F756ZG board features a ST Zio connector (extended Arduino Uno V3) and a ST morpho connector. Board is configured as follows:

  • UART_2 TX/RX/RTS/CTS : PD5/PD6/PD4/PD3
  • UART_3 TX/RX : PD8/PD9 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)
  • UART_6 TX/RX : PG14/PG9 (Arduino UART)
  • USER_PB : PC13
  • LD1 : PB0
  • LD2 : PB7
  • LD3 : PB14
  • ETH : PA1, PA2, PA7, PB13, PC1, PC4, PC5, PG11, PG13
  • USB DM : PA11
  • USB DP : PA12
  • I2C : PB8, PB9
  • PWM : PE13
  • SPI : PD14, PA5, PA6, PA7

Note. The Arduino Uno v3 specified SPI device conflicts with the on-board ETH device on pin PA7.

System Clock

Nucleo F756ZG System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as the main PLL clock. By default, the System clock is driven by the PLL clock at 72MHz, driven by an 8MHz high-speed external clock.

Serial Port

Nucleo F756ZG board has 4 UARTs and 4 USARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART3. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Nucleo F756ZG board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the nucleo_f756zg board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details).

Flashing

The board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer_ runner, so its :ref:installation <stm32cubeprog-flash-host-tools> is required.

Alternatively, OpenOCD or JLink can also be used to flash the board using the --runner (or -r) option:

.. code-block:: console

$ west flash --runner openocd $ west flash --runner jlink

Flashing an application to Nucleo F756ZG

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

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

.. code-block:: console

$ minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyACM0

Build and flash the application:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: nucleo_f756zg :goals: build flash

You should see the following message on the console:

.. code-block:: console

$ Hello World! nucleo_f756zg

Debugging

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: nucleo_f756zg :maybe-skip-config: :goals: debug
