Overview
********

The STM32 Nucleo-144 boards offer combinations of performance and power that
provide an affordable and flexible way for users to build prototypes and try
out new concepts. For compatible boards, the SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply)
significantly reduces power consumption in Run mode.

The Arduino-compatible ST Zio connector expands functionality of the Nucleo
open development platform, with a wide choice of specialized Arduino* Uno V3
shields.

The STM32 Nucleo-144 board does not require any separate probe as it integrates
the ST-LINK/V3E debugger/programmer.

The STM32 Nucleo-144 board comes with the STM32 comprehensive free software
libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube MCU Package.

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

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
:zephyr_file:`boards/st/nucleo_h7a3zi_q/nucleo_h7a3zi_q_defconfig`

For more details please refer to `STM32 Nucleo-144 board User Manual`_.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
----------------------------------

The Nucleo H7A3ZI-Q board features a ST Zio connector (extended Arduino Uno V3)
and a ST morpho connector. Board is configured as follows:

- USART3 TX/RX : PD8/PD9 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)
- USER_PB : PC13
