The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file: boards/st/nucleo_g0b1re/nucleo_g0b1re_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.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_1 TX/RX : PC4/PC5

  • UART_2 TX/RX : PA2/PA3 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)

  • I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB8/PB9 (Arduino I2C)

  • I2C2 SCL/SDA : PA11/PA12

  • SPI1 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PB0/PA5/PA6/PA7 (Arduino SPI)

  • SPI2 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PB12/PB13/PB14/PB15

  • USER_PB : PC13

  • LD4 : PA5

  • PWM : PA6

  • ADC1 IN0 : PA0

  • ADC1 IN1 : PA1

  • DAC1_OUT1 : PA4

  • FDCAN1 RX/TX: PA11/PA12

  • FDCAN2 RX/TX: PB0/PB1

For more details please refer to STM32 Nucleo-64 board User Manual [3].

Programming and Debugging

Nucleo G0B1RE board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.

Applications for the nucleo_g0b1re board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Flashing

The board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer [5] runner, so its installation is required.

Alternatively, OpenOCD, JLink, or pyOCD can also be used to flash the board using the --runner (or -r) option:

$ west flash --runner openocd
$ west flash --runner jlink
$ west flash --runner pyocd

For STM32G0 support pyocd needs additional target information, which can be installed by adding “pack” support with the following pyocd command:

$ pyocd pack --update
$ pyocd pack --install stm32g0

Flashing an application to Nucleo G0B1RE

Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nucleo_g0b1re 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_g0b1re samples/hello_world
west debug
