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

Flashing
========

Nucleo L476RG board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug tool interface.
This interface is not supported by the openocd version 0.9 included by the Zephyr SDK v0.9.
Until we update the Zephyr SDK, use openocd v0.10.0 from the openocd-stm32 project on GitHub
to get the minimum set of scripts needed to flash and debug STM32 development boards.

.. code-block:: console

   $ git clone  https://github.com/erwango/openocd-stm32.git

Then follow instructions in README.md


Flashing an application to Nucleo L476RG
----------------------------------------

The sample application :ref:'hello_world` is being used in this tutorial:

To build the Zephyr kernel and application, enter:

.. code-block:: console

   $ cd <zephyr_root_path>
   $ source zephyr-env.sh
   $ cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/hello_world/
   $ make BOARD=nucleo_l476rg

Connect the Nucleo L476RG to your host computer using the USB port.
Then, enter the following command:

.. code-block:: console

   $ cd <openocd-stm32_path>
   $ stm32_flsh l4 $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/hello_world/outdir/nucleo_l476rg/zephyr.bin

Run a serial host program to connect with your Nucleo board.

.. code-block:: console

   $ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

You should see the following message:

.. code-block:: console

   $ Hello World! arm


Debugging
=========

Access gdb with the following make command:

.. code-block:: console

   $ cd <openocd-stm32_path>
   $ stm32_dbg l4 $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/hello_world/outdir/nucleo_l476rg/zephyr.elf
