robotics-university.com | Hello my friends, on this article, I will give an overview about one STM32 microcontroller minimum systems/development kit/evaluation board which manufactured by ST Microelectronics (STM). The product I mean is STM32 F4 Discovery development kit, please see figure 1 to know the visualization and figure 2 to know the top-view layout.
According to the data brief and user manual document of this minimum systems [2][3], the STM32 F4 Discovery is the STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit allows users to easily develop applications with the STM32F407VG high performance microcontroller with the ARM® Cortex®-M4 32-bit core. It includes everything required either for beginners or for experienced users to get quickly started.
Based on STM32F407VG, it includes an ST-LINK/V2 or ST-LINK/V2-A embedded debug tool, two ST-MEMS digital accelerometers, a digital microphone, one audio DAC with integrated class D speaker driver, LEDs, push buttons and a USB OTG micro-AB connector. The STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit comes with the STM32 comprehensive free software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube package, as well as a direct access to the ARM® mbed Enabled™ on-line resources at http://mbed.org

STM32 F4 Discovery Kit Getting Started
Follow the sequence below to configure the STM32F4DISCOVERY board and launch the
DISCOVER application:
- Check jumper position on the board, JP1 on, CN3 on (DISCOVERY selected).
- Connect the STM32F4DISCOVERY board to a PC with a USB cable ‘type A to mini-B’ through USB connector CN1 to power the board. Red LED LD2 (PWR) then lights up.
- Four LEDs between B1 and B2 buttons are blinking.
- Press user button B1 to enable the ST MEMS sensor, move the board and observe the four LEDs blinking according to the motion direction and speed. (If a second USB cable ‘type A to micro-B’ is connected between PC and CN5 connector, then the board is recognized as standard mouse and its motion will also control the PC cursor).
- To study or modify the DISCOVER project related to this demonstration, visit the https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/stm32-discovery-kits.html webpage and follow the tutorial.
- Discover the STM32F407VG features, download and execute programs proposed in the list of projects.
- Develop the application using available examples.
