Quick start
This section describes how to start development quickly using the STM32 Discovery board.
Before installing and using the product, accept the Evaluation Product License Agreement from the
webpage.
The Discovery board is a low-cost and easy-to-use development kit to quickly evaluate and start development
with an STM32 microcontroller in QFP64 package. To start using this board, follow the steps below:
1.
For correct identification of all device interfaces from the host PC, install the Discovery USB driver available
on the
webpage, prior to connecting the board.
2.
Check that jumpers JP4 and JP7 are ON, JP5 is set on STLK, JP6 is OFF, SW1 octal switch is set to ALL
ON (Low physical position), and JP1 is set on VIN - USBPD pins.
3.
Connect a Type-A to Micro-B USB cable (not included) from the STM32G474 Discovery board (CN3) to a
PC to power the board. The LEDs LD6 (3V3), LD7 (5V), and LD9 (COM) light up.
4.
User LEDs LD2, LD3, LD4, and LD5 scroll, indicating the demonstration application software startup.
5.
The demo application software and its user manual, as well as other software examples for exploring
STM32G4 features are available at
.
6.
Develop an application using the available examples.
STLINK-V3E firmware upgrade
The STLINK-V3E embeds a firmware upgrade mechanism for an in-situ upgrade through the USB port. As the
firmware may evolve during the lifetime of the STLINK-V3E product, with new functionalities, bug fixes, support
for new microcontroller families, it is recommended to visit the
website, before starting to use the B-
G474E-DPOW1 Discovery kit and periodically, to stay up-to-date with the latest firmware version.
