ST Nucleo L152RE
Overview
The STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with STM32L152RE 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 L152RE website 1.
Hardware
Nucleo L152RE provides the following hardware components:
STM32 microcontroller in QFP64 package
Two types of extension resources:

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
boards/arm/nucleo_l152re/nucleo_l152re_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_2 TX/RX : PA2/PA3 (ST-Link Virtual COM Port)
I2C1 SCL/SDA : PB8/PB9 (Arduino I2C)
B1 (USER/blue) : PC13
LD1 : PA5
DAC : PA4
PWM_3_CH1 : PA6
For mode details please refer to STM32 Nucleo-64 board User Manual 4.
Programming and Debugging
Applications for the nucleo_l152re board configuration can be built and
flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application and
Run an Application for more details).
Flashing
Nucleo L152RE 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_l152re samples/hello_world
west debug
