System Clock

STM32F072B-DISCO 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 72 MHz, driven by internal 8 MHz oscillator.

Serial Port

STM32F072B-DISCO Discovery kit has up to 4 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART 1. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

STM32F072B-DISCO board includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the stm32f072b_disco 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 STM32F072B-DISCO

First, connect the STM32F072B-DISCO Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port to prepare it for flashing. Then build and flash your application.

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

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: stm32f072b_disco :goals: build flash

Run a serial host program to connect with your board. A TTL(3.3V) serial adapter is required.

.. code-block:: console

$ minicom -D /dev/<tty device>

Replace <tty_device> with the port where the serial adapter can be found. For example, under Linux, /dev/ttyUSB0.

You should see the following message on the console:

.. code-block:: console

Hello World! arm

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: stm32f072b_disco :goals: debug
