    • Power management access point

  • Eight LEDs:

    • USB communication (LD1)
    • 3.3 V power on (LD2)
    • Four user LEDs: orange (LD3), green (LD4), red (LD5), and blue (LD6)
    • 2 USB OTG LEDs for VBUS (LD7) and over-current (LD8)

  • Two push-buttons: USER and RESET

  • USB OTG FS with micro-AB connector

  • LIS302DL or LIS3DSH ST MEMS 3-axis accelerometer

  • MP45DT02 ST-MEMS audio sensor omni-directional digital microphone

  • CS43L22 audio DAC with integrated class D speaker driver

Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

.. note:: CAN feature requires CAN transceiver, such as SK Pang CAN breakout board_. Zephyr default configuration uses CAN_2 exclusively, as simultaneous use of CAN_1 and CAN_2 is not yet supported.

Pin Mapping

STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit has 8 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For more details please refer to STM32F4DISCOVERY board User Manual_.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

.. rst-class:: rst-columns

  • UART_2_TX : PA2
  • UART_2_RX : PA3
  • USER_PB : PA0
  • LD3 : PD13
  • LD4 : PD12
  • LD5 : PD14
  • LD6 : PD15
  • USB DM : PA11
  • USB DP : PA12
  • CAN2_RX : PB5
  • CAN2_TX : PB13
  • I2C1_SDA : PB9
  • I2C1_SCL : PB6
  • I2S3_MCK : PC7
  • I2S3_CK : PC10
  • I2S3_SD : PC12
  • I2S3_WS : PA4

System Clock

STM32F4DISCOVERY 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 168MHz, driven by 8MHz high speed external clock.

Serial Port

STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit has up to 6 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1. Please note that ST-Link Virtual Com Port is not wired to chip serial port. In order to enable console output you should use a serial cable and connect it to UART2 pins (PA2/PA3).

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the stm32f4_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 STM32F4DISCOVERY

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

Run a serial host program to connect with your board:

.. code-block:: console

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Build and flash the application:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky :board: stm32f4_disco :goals: build flash

You should see user led "LD4" blinking.

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: stm32f4_disco :maybe-skip-config: :goals: debug
