Overview

The Nucleo F207ZG board features an ARM Cortex-M3 based STM32F207ZG MCU with a wide range of connectivity support and configurations. Here are some highlights of the Nucleo F207ZG board:

• STM32 microcontroller in LQFP144 package

• Ethernet compliant with IEEE-802.3-2002

• Two types of extension resources:

  • ST Zio connector including: support for Arduino* Uno V3 connectivity (A0 to A5, D0 to D15) and additional signals exposing a wide range of peripherals

  • ST morpho extension pin headers for full access to all STM32 I/Os

• On-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer with SWD connector

• Flexible board power supply:

  • 5 V from ST-LINK/V2-1 USB VBUS

  • External power sources: 3.3 V and 7 - 12 V on ST Zio or ST morpho connectors, 5 V on ST morpho connector

• Three user LEDs

• Two push-buttons: USER and RESET

System Clock

Nucleo F207ZG System Clock could be driven by internal or external oscillator, as well as main PLL clock. By default System clock is driven by PLL clock at 120MHz, driven by 8MHz high speed external clock.

Serial Port

Nucleo F207ZG board has 4 UARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART3. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Network interface

Ethernet configured as the default network interface

USB

Nucleo F207ZG board has a USB OTG dual-role device (DRD) controller that supports both device and host functions through its micro USB connector (USB USER). Only USB device function is supported in Zephyr at the moment.

Backup SRAM

In order to test backup SRAM you may want to disconnect VBAT from VDD. You can do it by removing SB156 jumper on the back side of the board.

Programming and Debugging

Nucleo F207ZG board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in Zephyr SDK.
