ST Nucleo F334R8
################

Overview
********
STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with STM32F334R8 MCU, supports Arduino and ST morpho connectivity.

The STM32 Nucleo board provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts,
and build prototypes with the STM32 microcontroller, choosing from the various
combinations of performance, power consumption and features. 

The Arduino* Uno V3 connectivity support and the ST morpho headers allow easy functionality
expansion of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of 
specialized shields. 

The STM32 Nucleo board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1
debugger and programmer. 

The STM32 Nucleo board comes with the STM32 comprehensive software HAL library together 
with various packaged software examples.

| 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:
``boards/arm/nucleo_f334r8/nucleo_f334r8_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
========

Nucleo F334R8 board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.
This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.

Flashing an application to Nucleo F334R8
----------------------------------------

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=nucleo_f334r8

Connect the Nucleo F334R8 to your host computer using the USB port.
Then, enter the following command:

.. code-block:: console

   $ make BOARD=nucleo_f334r8 flash

Run a serial host program to connect with your Nucleo 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=nucleo_f334r8 debug
