The default configuration per core can be found in the defconfig files:
``boards/arm/fk7b0m1-vbt6/fk7b0m1_vbt6_defconfig``

Connections and IOs
===================

Available pins:
---------------

Nucleo FK7B0M1-VBT6 board has 6 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing,
input/output, pull-up, etc.

LED
---

- User LED (blue) = PC1

Push buttons
-------------------------

- BOOT = SW1 = BOOT0
- RESET = SW2 = NRST
- User button = SW3 = PC13

UART
-----

- TX device = USART1 PA9
- RX device = USART1 PA10

USB
---

- USB D- = PA11
- USB D+ = PA12

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

The FK7B0M1-VBT6 System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator,
as well as by the main PLL clock. By default the system clock is driven by the PLL clock at 280MHz,
driven by an 25MHz external crystal oscillator.

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

The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART1. The default communication settings are 115200 8N1.

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

The FK7B0M1-VBT6 board does not include an on-board debugger. As a result, it requires
an external debugger, such as ST-Link, for programming and debugging purposes.

The board provides header pins for the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface.

Flashing
========

To begin, connect the ST-Link Debug Programmer to the FK7B0M1-VBT6 board using the SWD
interface. Next, connect the ST-Link to your host computer via a USB port.
Once this setup is complete, you can proceed to build and flash your application to the board

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

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: fk7b0m1_vbt6
   :goals: build flash

Run a serial host program to connect with your board:

.. code-block:: console

   $ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200

Then, press the RESET button, you should see the following message:

.. code-block:: console

   Hello World! fk7b0m1_vbt6

Debugging
=========

This current Zephyr port does not support debugging.
