its mini USB connector (USB USER).

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

Flashing
========

STM32F3DISCOVERY Discovery kit includes a ST-LINK/V2 or ST-LINK/V2-B embedded
debug tool interface.

Applications for the ``stm32f3_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 an application to STM32F3DISCOVERY
-------------------------------------------

First, connect the STM32F3DISCOVERY Discovery kit to your host computer using
the USB port to prepare it for flashing. Then build and flash your application.

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: stm32f3_disco
   :goals: build flash

Run a serial host program to connect with your board. For PCB version A or B a
TTL(3.3V) serial adapter is required. For PCB version C and newer a Virtual Com
Port (VCP) is available on the  USB ST-LINK port.

.. code-block:: console

   $ minicom -D /dev/<tty device>

Replace <tty_device> with the port where the STM32F3DISCOVERY board can be
found. For example, under Linux, /dev/ttyUSB0.

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: stm32f3_disco
   :goals: debug
