Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

• UART_1 TX/RX : PA9/PA10
• I2C2 SCL/SDA : PB10/PB3
• PWM_2_CH1 : PA0
• LD1 : PB5
• LD2 : PB4

System Clock

The steval_fcu001v1 system clock can 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 84MHz, driven by a 16MHz high-speed external clock.

Serial Port

The steval_fcu001v1 board has one UART. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART1. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

I2C

The steval_fcu001v1 board has one I2C. The default I2C mapping for Zephyr is:

• I2C2_SCL : PB10
• I2C2_SDA : PB3

Programming and Debugging

---

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Applications for the steval_fcu001v1 board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details).

Flashing

Flashing Zephyr onto the steval_fcu001v1 board requires an external ST-LINK/V2-1 programmer. The programmer is attached to the P8 programming header with ARM-JTAG-20-10-Plug-in Adapter.

Flashing an application to STEVAL_FCU001V1

Connect the FT232-to-USB port to host system, and RX, TX, Gnd pins to the P7 header of the steval_fcu001v1 board. Then run a serial host program to connect with your steval_fcu001v1 via the FT232 board:

.. code-block:: console

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0

Now build and flash an application. Here is an example for :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: steval_fcu001v1 :goals: build flash

You should see the following message on the console:

.. code-block:: console

Hello World! steval_fcu001v1

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: steval_fcu001v1 :maybe-skip-config: :goals: debug
