Other hardware features are not yet supported in this Zephyr port.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file: boards/arm/nucleo_g070rb/nucleo_g070rb_defconfig

Connections and IOs

Each of the GPIO pins can be configured by software as output (push-pull or open-drain), as input (with or without pull-up or pull-down), or as peripheral alternate function. Most of the GPIO pins are shared with digital or analog alternate functions. All GPIOs are high current capable except for analog inputs.

Programming and Debugging

Applications for the nucleo_g070rb board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

Nucleo G070RB board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

Flashing an application to Nucleo G070RB

Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_g070rb samples/basic/blinky
west flash

You will see the LED blinking every second.

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_g070rb samples/hello_world
west debug
