Connections and IOs

B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit has 9 GPIO controllers (from A to I). These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For more details please refer to B L47S5I IOT01A board User Manual.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_1 TX/RX : PB6/PB7 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)

  • UART_4 TX/RX : PA0/PA1 (Arduino Serial)

  • I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB8/PB9 (Arduino I2C)

  • I2C2 SCL/SDA : PB10/PB11 (Sensor I2C bus)

  • SPI1 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PA2/PA5/PA6/PA7 (Arduino SPI)

  • SPI3 SCK/MISO/MOSI : PC10/PC11/PC12 (BT SPI bus)

  • PWM_2_CH1 : PA15

  • LD1 : PA5

  • LD2 : PB14

  • user button : PC13

System Clock

B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery 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 80MHz, driven by 16MHz high speed internal oscillator.

Serial Port

B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit has 4 U(S)ARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART1. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

The b_l4s5i_iot01a board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

flash debug attach rtt debugserver
jlink
openocd ✅ (default)
stm32cubeprogrammer ✅ (default)

B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

Flashing

The board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer runner, so its installation is required.

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

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

Flashing an application to B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit

Connect the B_L4S5I_IOT01A Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with your Discovery board. For example:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Then, build and flash in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b b_l4s5i_iot01a samples/hello_world
west flash

You should see the following message on the console:

Hello World! arm

Debugging

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b b_l4s5i_iot01a samples/hello_world
west debug
