Board Setup
First, download the ST Board Support Package (BSP) for the appropriate target. These
BSPs are provided on the DSP Concepts website at:
https://www.dspconcepts.com/downloads. After running the installer and accepting the
licensing agreement, the BSP will be installed to a directory in C:\DSP Concepts.
After the BSP is installed on your computer, connect the ST Discovery board to your
computer. The STM32F746 board has three USB connections:
● Mini-USB – for power and programming
● Micro-USB – USB FS for audio and control
● Micro-USB – USB HS (currently unused)
NOTE: Charge-only USB cables will not work. If you are having trouble flashing or
connecting to the board, make sure that your USB cables support data transfer. A
common symptom of a bad cable is an error message while attempting to connect that
reads "Unable to create USB port - is this port in use by another program?".
Connect the mini-USB connector and the middle micro-USB connector to your PC. This
will power on the board and several LEDs will light.
Next, install the STM32 ST-LINK Utility (STSW-LINK004) programming utility
provided by STMicroelectronics on their website (www.st.com).
