STM32373C-EVAL
##############

Overview
********
The STM32373C-EVAL evaluation board is designed as a complete demonstration and development platform for STMicroelectronics ARM Cortex-M4 core-based STM32F373VCT6 microcontroller.

The full range of hardware features on the board can help the user evaluate all peripherals (USB FS, USART, audio DAC, microphone ADC, dot-matrix LCD, IrDA, LDR, MicroSD card, HDMI CEC, ECG, pressure sensor, CAN, IR transmitter and receiver, EEPROM, touch slider, temperature sensor, etc.) and develop their own applications.

Extension headers make it possible to easily connect a daughter board or wrapping board for a specific application.

+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| IWDG      | on-chip    | independent watchdog                |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+

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

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file
:file:`boards/arm/stm32373c_eval/stm32373c_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.

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

Flashing
========

STM32373C-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.

Flashing an application to STM32373C-EVAL
-----------------------------------------

The sample application :ref:`blinky-sample` is being used in this tutorial:

.. code-block:: console

   $<zephyr_root_path>/samples/basic/blinky

To build the Zephyr kernel and application, enter:

.. code-block:: console

   $ cd <zephyr_root_path>
   $ source zephyr-env.sh
   $ cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/basic/blinky
   $ make BOARD=stm32373c_eval

Connect the STM32373C-EVAL to your host computer using the USB port.
Then, enter the following command:

.. code-block:: console

   $ make BOARD=stm32373c_eval flash

Run a serial host program to connect with your STM32373C-EVAL board:

.. code-block:: console

   $ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

You will see the LED blinking every second.

Debugging
=========

Access gdb with the following make command:

.. code-block:: console

   $ make BOARD=stm32373c_eval debug
