+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+

Other hardware features are not yet supported on Zephyr porting.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:

	``boards/arm/stm32f4_disco/stm32f4_disco_defconfig``


Pin Mapping
===========

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

For mode details please refer to `STM32F4DISCOVERY board User Manual`_.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
----------------------------------
- UART_1_TX : PB6
- UART_1_RX : PB7
- UART_2_TX : PA2
- UART_2_RX : PA3
- USER_PB : PA0
- LD3 : PD13
- LD4 : PD12
- LD5 : PD14
- LD6 : PD15

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.


Programming and Debugging
*************************

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
========

STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool interface.
This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.

Flashing an application to STM32F4DISCOVERY
-------------------------------------------

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` 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/hello_world
   :board: stm32f4_disco
   :goals: build flash

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
:ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: stm32f4_disco
   :maybe-skip-config:
   :goals: debug
