ST Nucleo H723ZG¶
Overview¶
The STM32 Nucleo-144 board provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes by choosing from the various combinations of performance and power consumption features, provided by the STM32 microcontroller. For the compatible boards, the internal or external SMPS significantly reduces power consumption in Run mode.
The ST Zio connector, which extends the ARDUINO® Uno V3 connectivity, and the ST morpho headers provide an easy means of expanding the functionality of the Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields. The STM32 Nucleo-144 board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK V3 debugger/programmer.
The STM32 Nucleo-144 board comes with the STM32 comprehensive free software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube MCU Package.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:¶
The Nucleo H723ZG board features a ST Zio connector (extended Arduino Uno V3) and a ST morpho connector. Board is configured as follows:
UART_3 TX/RX : PD8/PD9 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)
USER_PB : PC13
LD1 : PB0
LD2 : PB7
LD3 : PB14
I2C : PB8, PB9
System Clock¶
Nucleo H723ZG System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as the main PLL clock. By default, the System clock is driven by the PLL clock at 550MHz, driven by an 8MHz high-speed external clock.
Serial Port¶
Nucleo H723ZG board has 4 UARTs and 4 USARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART3. Default settings are 115200 8N1.
Programming and Debugging¶
Currently the nucleo_h723zg
board supports stm32cubeprogrammer (default), OpenOCD and J-Link debuggers.
Note
Official OpenOCD support for this board was added on October ‘20. Make sure your openocd version is older than that. Following links may be helpful: OpenOCD installing Debug Version and OpenOCD installing with ST-LINK V3 support
Note
Check if your ST-LINK V3 has newest FW version. It can be done with STM32CubeIDE
Flashing¶
Nucleo H723ZG board includes an ST-LINK/V3 embedded debug tool interface.
First, connect the NUCLEO-H723ZG to your host computer using the USB port to prepare it for flashing. Then build and flash your application.
Here is an example for the Hello World application.
Run a serial host program to connect with your NUCLEO-H723ZG board.
$ minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyACM0
or use screen:
$ screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
Build and flash the application:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_h723zg samples/hello_world
west flash
You should see the following message on the console:
$ Hello World! nucleo_h723zg
Blinky example can also be used:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_h723zg samples/basic/blinky
west flash
Debugging¶
You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_h723zg samples/hello_world
west debug
