ST STM32L1 Discovery
####################

Overview
********

The two generations of the STM32L1 Discovery development boards come with
an integrated ST-LINK/V2 debugger and programmer.  The boards have a
24-segment LCD and a touch slider, along with two user LEDs and a user button.
Support circuitry for measuring power consumption is also available.
It also comes with a comprehensive STM32 software HAL library and various
packaged software examples.

There
are two variants of the board:

- STM32LDISCOVERY targets STM32L152RBT6, with 128K flash, 16K RAM, 4K EEPROM
- STM32L152CDISCOVERY targets STM32L152RCT6, with 256K flash, 32K RAM, 8K EEPROM

The STM32LDISCOVERY is no longer sold, but was widely available.
stm32l1_disco configuration enables support for STM32LDISCOVERY board and
stm32l152c_disco configuration enables support for STM32L152CDISCOVERY board.

Hardware
********

The STM32 Discovery board features:

- On-board ST-LINK/V2 with selection mode switch to use the kit as a standalone
  ST-LINK/V2 (with SWD connector for programming and debugging)
- Board power supply: through USB bus or from an external 5 V supply voltage
- External application power supply: 3 V and 5 V
- Four LEDs:

    - LD1 (red) for 3.3 V power on
    - LD2 (red/green) for USB communication
    - LD3 (green) for PC9 output
    - LD4 (blue) for PC8 output
- Two push buttons (user and reset)
- Extension header for all LQFP64 I/Os for quick connection to prototyping board
  and easy probing

More information about STM32L151x can be found in the `STM32L1x reference manual`_.

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

The configuration of stm32l1_disco can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/st/stm32l1_disco/stm32l1_disco_defconfig`

Configuration of stm32l152c_disco can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/st/stm32l1_disco/stm32l152c_disco_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.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Applications for the ``stm32l1_disco`` board configuration can be built and
flashed in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Flashing
========

STM32L1DISCOVERY and STM32L152CDISCOVERY boards include an ST-LINK/V2 embedded
debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version
included in the Zephyr SDK.

Flashing an application
-----------------------

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
   :board: stm32l1_disco
   :goals: build 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
:zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
   :board: stm32l1_disco
   :maybe-skip-config:
   :goals: debug
