STM3210C Evaluation

Overview

The STM3210C-EVAL evaluation board is a complete development platform for STMicroelectronic’s ARM Cortex-M3 core-based STM32F107VCT microcontroller.

The range of hardware features on the board help you to evaluate all peripherals (USB-OTG FS, ethernet, motor control, CAN, microSD CardTM, smartcard, USART, audio DAC, MEMS, EEPROM and more) and develop your own applications.

Extension headers make it easy to connect a daughterboard or wrapping board for your specific application.

More information about the board can be found at the STM3210C-EVAL website [1].

Supported Features

The Zephyr stm3210c_eval board configuration supports the following hardware features:

Interface

Controller

Driver/Component

NVIC

on-chip

nested vector interrupt controller

UART

on-chip

serial port-polling; serial port-interrupt

PINMUX

on-chip

pinmux

GPIO

on-chip

gpio

CLOCK

Other hardware features are not yet supported in this Zephyr port.

The default configuration can be found in boards/st/stm3210c_eval/stm3210c_eval_defconfig.

Connections and IOs

Each of the GPIO pins can be configured by software as output (push-pull or open-drain), as input (with or without pull-up or pull-down), or as peripheral alternate function. Most of the GPIO pins are shared with digital or analog alternate functions. All GPIOs are high current capable except for analog inputs.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_2_TX : PD5

  • UART_2_RX : PD6

  • USER_PB : PB9

  • LED2 : PD13

Programming and Debugging

Flashing

STM3210C-EVAL board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface. At power-on, the board is in firmware-upgrade mode (also called DFU for “Device Firmware Upgrade”), allowing the firmware to be updated through the USB. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.

Applications for the stm3210c_eval board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing an application to STM3210C-EVAL

Connect the STM3210C-EVAL to your host computer using the USB port, then build and flash an application in the usual way.

Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b stm3210c_eval samples/basic/blinky
west flash

You will see the LED blinking every second.

Debugging

You can run a serial host program to connect with your STM3210C-EVAL board. For example, on Linux:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

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 stm3210c_eval samples/hello_world
west debug
