STM32H750B Discovery Kit

Overview

The STM32H750B-DK Discovery kit is a complete demonstration and development platform for Arm® Cortex®-M7 core-based STM32H750XBH6 microcontroller, with 128Kbytes of Flash memory and 1 Mbytes of SRAM.

The STM32H750B-DK Discovery kit is used as a reference design for user application development before porting to the final product, thus simplifying the application development.

The full range of hardware features available on the board helps users to enhance their application development by an evaluation of all the peripherals (such as USB OTG FS, Ethernet, microSD™ card, USART, CAN FD, SAI audio DAC stereo with audio jack input and output, MEMS digital microphone, HyperRAM™, Octo-SPI Flash memory, RGB interface LCD with capacitive touch panel, and others). ARDUINO® Uno V3, Pmod™ and STMod+ connectors provide easy connection to extension shields or daughterboards for specific applications.

STLINK-V3E is integrated into the board, as the embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCU and USB Virtual COM port bridge. STM32H750B-DK board comes with the STM32CubeH7 MCU Package, which provides an STM32 comprehensive software HAL library as well as various software examples.

More information about the board can be found at the STM32H750B-DK website. More information about STM32H750 can be found here:

Pin Mapping

For more details please refer to STM32H750B-DK website.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_3 TX/RX : PB10/PB11 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)

  • LD1 : PJ2

  • LD2 : PI13

  • USART1 TX/RX : PB6/PB7 (Arduino D1/D0)

System Clock

The STM32H750B System Clock can be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as by the main PLL clock. By default, the System clock is driven by the PLL clock at 480MHz. PLL clock is feed by a 25MHz high speed external clock.

Serial Port

The STM32H750B Discovery kit has up to 6 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART3 which connected to the onboard ST-LINK/V3.0. Virtual COM port interface. Default communication settings are 115200 8N1.

Programming and Debugging

STM32H750B Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK-V3E embedded debug tool interface. This probe allows flashing and debugging the board using various tools.

See Building an Application for more information about application builds.

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 STM32H750B_DK

Connect the STM32H750B-DK to your host computer using the ST-LINK USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with the board. For example:

$ minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyACM0

You can then build and flash applications in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b stm32h750b_dk samples/hello_world
west flash

You should see the following message in the serial host program:

$ Hello World! stm32h750b_dk

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 stm32h750b_dk samples/hello_world
west debug
