Getting started

Follow the sequence below, to configure the STM32 Nucleo-32 board and launch the
demonstration software:
•
Check solder bridge position on the board, SB1 OFF, SB14 ON (internal regulator), JP1
ON (IDD) selected.
•
For a correct identification of all device interfaces from the host PC and before
connecting the board, install the Nucleo USB driver, available at
www.st.com/stm32nucleo.
•
Connect the Nucleo-32 board to a PC with a USB cable 'type A to Micro-B' through
USB connector CN1 to power the board. The red LED LD2 (PWR) and LD1 (COM) light
up and green LED LD3 blinks.
•
Remove the jumper placed between D2 (CN3 pin 5) and GND (CN3 pin 4).
•
Observe how the blinking frequency of the green LED LD3 changes, when the jumper
is in place or when it is removed.
•
The demonstration software and several software examples on how to use the Nucleo-
32 board features, are available at www.st.com/stm32nucleo webpage.
•
Develop your own application using available examples.
