STM32 Nucleo Boards

Overview

• The STM32 platform brings Eclipse OpenBSW to STMicroelectronics Nucleo development boards: low-cost, widely available hardware with an on-board ST-LINK debugger/programmer, so no external debug probe is needed.

• Eclipse OpenBSW provides a reference application for these boards which can be built out-of-the-box and flashed onto the board, providing an immediate starting point for further development and learning.

Supported boards

STM32 boards

Board	MCU	Core	Flash / RAM	CAN peripheral	Form factor
NUCLEO-G474RE	STM32G474RE	Cortex-M4F, 170 MHz	512 KB / 128 KB	FDCAN	Nucleo-64
NUCLEO-F413ZH	STM32F413ZH	Cortex-M4F, 100 MHz	1.5 MB / 320 KB	bxCAN	Nucleo-144

Scope

The reference application on the STM32 boards provides:

• lifecycle management and the serial console over the ST-LINK virtual COM port,

• CAN communication (FDCAN on the STM32G474RE, bxCAN on the STM32F413ZH),

• DoCAN transport and UDS diagnostics (see Diagnostics (DoCAN / UDS)),

• a choice of RTOS: FreeRTOS (default) or ThreadX, selected via the BUILD_TARGET_RTOS CMake option.

The platform options enabled per board are defined in executables/referenceApp/platforms/<board_name>/Options.cmake.
