Introduction
The STM32 Nucleo board is a low-cost and easy-to-use development platform used to
quickly evaluate and start a development with an STM32 in 32-pin package, 64-pin package
and 144-pin package.
This document provides guidelines to beginners on how to build and run a sample
application and allows them to build and debug their application. It has the following
structure:
• The first chapter presents software and hardware requirements (some toolchains
supporting the STM32 families, ST-LINK/V2-1 installation and firmware package
presentation).
• The second chapter provides step by step guideline on how to build and debug an
application using some toolchains:
– IAR Embedded Workbench
– Microcontroller Development Kit for ARM
– TrueSTUDIO
– System Workbench for STM32 (SW4STM32) by AC6
This manual does not cover all the topics relevant to software development environments,
but it demonstrates the first basic steps necessary to get started with the
compilers/debuggers and offers links to the documents needed to fully understand every
single step.
All boards belonging to the STM32 MCU Nucleo line are supported.
