+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| GPIO      | on-chip    | gpio                                |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+

Other hardware features are not yet supported on Zephyr porting.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file
:zephyr_file:`boards/arm/stm32f411e_disco/stm32f411e_disco_defconfig`


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

STM32F411E-DISCO Discovery kit has 5 GPIO controllers. These controllers are
responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For mode details please refer to `32F411EDISCOVERY board User Manual`_.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
----------------------------------
- UART_2_TX : PA2
- UART_2_RX : PA3
- LD3 : PD13
- LD4 : PD12
- LD5 : PD14
- LD6 : PD15

System Clock
============

STM32F411E-DISCO System Clock could be driven by an internal or external
oscillator, as well as the main PLL clock. By default, the System clock is
driven by the PLL clock at 100MHz, driven by the internal oscillator.

Serial Port
===========

The STM32F411G Discovery kit has up to 3 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is
assigned to UART2. Default settings are 115200 8N1.


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

Applications for the ``stm32f411e_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
========

STM32F411E-DISCO 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 STM32F411E-DISCO
-------------------------------------------

Connect the STM32F411E-DISCO Discovery kit to your host computer using the
USB port. Then build and flash an application.

Here is an example for the :ref:`blinky-sample` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
   :board: stm32f411e_disco
   :goals: build flash

You should see the orange led (LD3) blinking every second.

Debugging
=========

You can debug applications in the usual way. Here is an example for
the :ref:`blinky-sample` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
   :board: stm32f411e_disco
   :maybe-skip-config:
   :goals: debug
