Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

Pin Mapping

STM32F072-EVAL Discovery kit has 6 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For more details please refer to STM32F072-EVAL board User Manual.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

UART_2_TX : PD5
UART_2_RX : PD6
TAMPER_PB : PC13
JOYSTICK_RIGHT_PB : PE3
JOYSTICK_LEFT_PB : PF2
JOYSTICK_UP_PB : PF9
JOYSTICK_DOWN_PB : PF10
JOYSTICK_SEL_PB : PA0

System Clock

STM32F072-EVAL 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 48MHz, driven by an 8MHz high speed internal clock.

Serial Port

STM32F072-EVAL Discovery kit has up to 4 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

STM32F072-EVAL Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the stm32f072_eval 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 STM32F072-EVAL

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

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky :board: stm32f072_eval :goals: build 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 :zephyr:code-sample:blinky application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky :board: stm32f072_eval :maybe-skip-config: :goals: debug
