ST Nucleo F091RC
Overview
The STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with STM32F091RC MCU, supports Arduino and ST morpho connectivity.
The STM32 Nucleo board provides an affordable, and flexible way for users to try out new concepts, and build prototypes with the STM32 microcontroller, choosing from the various combinations of performance, power consumption, and features.
The Arduino* Uno V3 connectivity support and the ST morpho headers allow easy functionality expansion of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields.
The STM32 Nucleo board integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger and programmer.
The STM32 Nucleo board comes with the STM32 comprehensive software HAL library together with various packaged software examples.
More information about the board can be found at the Nucleo F091RC website 1.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
boards/arm/nucleo_f091rc/nucleo_f091rc_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.
Board connectors:
Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
UART_1 TX/RX : PB6/PB7
UART_2 TX/RX : PA2/PA3 (ST-Link Virtual COM Port)
I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB8/PB9 (Arduino I2C)
I2C2 SCL/SDA : PA11/PA12
SPI1 SCK/MISO/MOSI : PA5/PA6/PA7 (Arduino SPI)
SPI2 SCK/MISO/MOSI : PB13/PB14/PB15
USER_PB : PC13
LD2 : PA5
DAC_OUT1 : PA4
PWM_2_CH1 : PA5 (might conflict with SPI1)
For mode details please refer to STM32 Nucleo-64 board User Manual 3.
Programming and Debugging
Applications for the nucleo_f091rc board configuration can be built and
flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and
Run an Application for more details).
Flashing
Nucleo F091RC board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface. This interface is supported by the openocd version included in the Zephyr SDK.
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_f091rc samples/hello_world
