Ensure that the jumpers JP2 and CN3 are set to "on" (Discovery mode). Connect the STM32F411 Discovery board to a PC using a USB cable type A/mini-B through the USB ST-LINK connector CN1, to power the board. The LED LD2 (PWR) will light up and the four LEDs between the buttons B1 and B2 start blinking.
STM32F411VET6 microcontroller featuring 512 KB of Flash memory, 128 KB of RAM in an LQFP100 package On-board ST-LINK/V2 with selection mode switch to use the kit as a standalone ST- LINK/V2 (with SWD connector for programming and debugging) ...
UM1842 Hardware layout Hardware layout The STM32F411 Discovery board has been designed around the STM32F411VET6 microcontroller in a 100-pin LQFP package. illustrates the connections between the STM32F411VET6 and its peripherals (ST- Figure 2 LINK/V2, pushbutton, LED, Audio DAC, USB, ST MEMS gyroscope, ST MEMS accelerometer + magnetometer, ST MEMS microphone, and connectors).
Hardware layout UM1842 Embedded ST-LINK/V2 The ST-LINK/V2 programming and debugging tool is integrated on the STM32F411 Discovery board. The embedded ST-LINK/V2 can be used in 2 different ways according to the jumper states (see Table Program/debug the MCU on board, ...
Using ST-LINK/V2 to program/debug the STM32F411 on board To program the STM32F411 on board, simply plug in the two jumpers on CN3, as shown in in red, but do not use the CN2 connector as that could disturb communication with Figure 6 the STM32F411VET6 of the STM32F411 Discovery board.
4.1.2 Using ST-LINK/V2 to program/debug an external STM32 application It is very easy to use the ST-LINK/V2 to program the STM32 on an external application. Simply remove the 2 jumpers from CN3 as shown in 7, and connect your application...
5 V can also be used as input power supplies, e.g. when the USB connector is not connected to the PC. In this case, the STM32F411 Discovery board must be powered by a power supply unit or by an auxiliary equipment complying with standard EN-60950-1: 2006+A11/2009, and must be Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) with limited power capability.
CS43L22 USB OTG supported The STM32F411 is used to drive only USB OTG full speed on this board. The USB micro- AB connector (CN5) allows the user to connect a host or device component, such as a USB key, mouse, and so on.
If PH0 and PH1 are only used as GPIOs instead of as a clock, then SB14 and SB16 are closed and R24, R25 and R66 are removed. MCO from ST-LINK (from MCO of the STM32F103) This frequency cannot be changed, it is fixed at 8 MHz and connected to PH0-OSC_IN of the STM32F411VET6.
SWO signal of the CN2 connector is connected to PB3 SB15 (SWO) SWO signal is not connected Reserved, do not modify SB10,11 (RX,TX) Reserved, do not modify No incidence on STM32F103C8T6 (ST-LINK/V2) NRST signal SB12 (STM_RST) STM32F103C8T6 (ST-LINK/V2) NRST signal is connected to GND 18/35 DocID027213 Rev 1...
4.13 Extension connectors The male headers P1 and P2 can connect the STM32F411 Discovery board to a standard prototyping/wrapping board. STM32F411VET6 GPI/Os are available on these connectors. P1 and P2 can also be probed by an oscilloscope, logical analyzer or voltmeter.
