This book will serve both as an introduction to the STMicroelectronics line

of STM32 microcontrollers (MCUs) and also as an easy-to-follow Getting
Started Guide for readers interested in developing with a STM MCU. I will be
using one of the very inexpensive STM Nucleo-64 development boards for all of
the book projects, which should make it inviting for most readers to become
involved with the hardware. In fact, doing the book demonstration projects is
really the only way you can really be assured that you have gained a good
comprehension of the material in this book.
I will state from the beginning that it is simply not possible to gain a total
understanding of how a STM MCU functions by only reading this book. The
manufacturer datasheets that describe individual STM MCUs are often over
1,000 pages in length, which describes the enormity of the task of trying to
master the voluminous amount of information that describes these devices.
Instead, the book contents focus on a few of the core components that make up a
STM MCU and how to program those components to accomplish fairly simple
tasks.
Some readers will have trepidation about starting to develop with what are
typically considered professional grade MCUs. I wish to allay that fear and state
that I have found that developing applications with at least one representative
sample STM MCU to be remarkably easy and straightforward. In fact, I will
state that in some aspects it is easier to develop with a STM MCU than with an
Arduino or Raspberry Pi, which many readers will already be quite familiar and
probably have already created projects with those boards.
Often, the single biggest issue with developing with MCUs is setting up a
stable development toolchain. I will describe how to do this in a simple to
follow, step-by-step process, which if you rigorously follow will guarantee that
you will be able to quickly and without much trouble generate working binary
programs. These programs will then be quickly downloaded into the
development board for execution.
 1
Introduction to the
STMicroelectronics Line of
Microcontrollers

This chapter provides you with an introduction to the very comprehensive

STMicroelectronics (STM) line of microcontrollers (MCUs). I will be focusing
only on several specific controllers throughout the book, but that should provide
you with an adequate representation of the functions and capabilities of the full
line of STM MCUs.

Microcomputer vs Microcontroller
I believe at the start of this book that it must make very clear the differences
between a microcomputer and a MCU. The reason for this distinction is very
simple: STM is a company that designs and manufacturers MCUs, not
microcomputers. I think my following definition of a MCU is as good as any
that I have read:

A microcontroller is an integrated system containing a minimum of a

microprocessor, dynamic and non-volatile memory, and a set of peripherals
consistent with all design requirements.

Right away, you can see from the definition that a MCU contains a
microprocessor which is sometimes referred to as a microcomputer. There also
must be both dynamic or volatile memory as well as nonvolatile or static
memory, where the latter holds any programs or scripts necessary to run the
microprocessor. Finally, there are always peripherals added to the design that
allow for the input and output of digital signals. There are often additional
peripherals such as timers, interrupt controllers, serial data ports, and a variety of
others depending upon what requirements the MCU must meet.
I discuss all the principal MCU components below to provide you with a solid
background to understand how a MCU functions. Most of the following
explanations are based on the voluminous amount of information provided by
STM on their microcontrollers. The reason behind STM providing such a large
amount of information is to allow engineers/software developers access to all the
data they need in order to incorporate STM products into original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) designs and products. This approach is fundamentally
different than the approach taken by suppliers of maker style boards and
products, such as the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, and so forth. In the
case of the latter, board documentation is geared toward how to use a board in a
project. The STM data is extremely specific describing items such as the
nanosecond timing pulses between memory chips and processor buses. This is
exactly the reason why some of the STM MCU datasheets are over 1,100 pages
in length. Fortunately, the datasheet for the primary STM MCU I will be using in
this book is only 138 pages. I will provide later in this chapter the website where
you can download the datasheet.

STM Nucleo Boards

MCU manufacturers such as STM have long recognized that they just couldn’t
provide only chips to potential customers as most would have no way to
effectively evaluate them for potential use in their products. This is the reason
why the manufacturers offer relatively low-cost evaluation and demonstration
boards, which have representative MCUs all setup and ready to run. STM offers
a series of such boards that it calls the Nucleo line. I will be using a fairly simple
Nucleo-64 board for the book projects. STM has actually embraced the maker
community by marketing the Nucleo lineup as boards suitable for maker project
use. These boards are very inexpensive, usually about US$10–15, which leads
me to believe that STM is striving to gain a foothold in the maker community by
actually subsidizing the manufacturing costs for the boards. In any case, this is a
boon for makers and hobbyists and one that we should embrace.
Figure 1-1 shows the three basic Nucleo boards available at the time of
writing this book.
Figure 1-1 Three basic Nucleo boards.

The boards are named Nucleo-32, Nucleo-64, and Nucleo-144 from left to
right, respectively, as shown in Figure 1-1. The number in each name represents
the number of pins present in the MCU chip. Nucleo-64 is the principal board
used in this book.

Principal MCU Components

The first component to consider is the processor or microcomputer.

Processor
The processor used in Nucleo-32 and Nucleo-64 boards is the ARM Cortex M-4
32-bit processor. It too has a lengthy 278-page user guide available from
infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0553a/DUI0553A_cortex_m4_dgug.pdf
The actual processor circuitry is part of the STM MCU because STM has
purchased intellectual property (IP) rights from the ARM Corporation in order to
integrate it into its chips. However, for all practical purposes, the ARM
processor is programmed using the tools and techniques promulgated by the
ARM Corporation to support its processor IP. This distinction is of no
consequence in our case because the software tools to be used for the book
projects have all been carefully crafted and tested to work seamlessly together by
STM. Any license issues have already been resolved without bothering the end
user.
The following list contains some of the important specifications for the
Cortex M-4 processor for interested readers:
• Full-featured ARMv7-M instruction set, optimized for embedded
applications
• Floating point unit (FPU)
• Low-power 32-bit processor
• Memory protection unit (MPU)
• Nested vector interrupt controller (NVIC)
• Trace, breakpoint, and JTAG capabilities
• Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA)
• Advanced High-Performance Bus (AHB5, AHB-Lite)

There are many more features to the Cortex M-4 processor as the 278-page
user guide would suggest. I would also recommend Joseph Yiu’s book, The
Definitive Guide to ARM® Cortex®-M3 and Cortex®-M4 Processors, Third
Edition, to readers who really want to delve into this processor to a great depth.
Figure 1-2 is a block diagram of the Cortex M-4 processor showing all of the
listed items and more.
Figure 1-2 ARM Cortex M-4 block diagram.

STM is responsible for the design and implementation of all components

outside of the box shown in Figure 1-2. Of course, the STM design must be
compliant with the ARM processor specifications. One item missing in the
figure is a clock input. The reason for it being missing is that the block diagram
is from the ARM Cortex M-4 user guide, while the clock circuitry is the
responsibility of STM, the MCU designer. STM has set the base processor clock
frequency at 72 MHz, which appears to be very low in today’s world of multi-
gigahertz clock rates for most PCs. In fact, the latest Raspberry Pi model 3 has a
1.2-GHz clock rate. But first appearances are deceiving in this case. The Cortex
M-4 processor uses an extremely efficient instruction set, with three-stage
pipelining, which maximizes the performance of the underlying reduced
instruction set computing (RISC) that the processor employs. In addition, many
common microcontroller tasks, which I discuss below, have been implemented
in a combination of hardware and firmware, further improving the overall
performance, while keeping the power consumption as low as possible. Power
consumption and performance are two key microcontroller attributes that system
designers always keep in mind. Keeping the clock rate as low as possible will
always minimize the power consumed as well as increase the longevity of the
chip.

Memory
The Cortex M-4 processor uses a Harvard architecture. This means that program
instructions are stored and retrieved from a memory separate and distinct from
the memory that holds data. The other common computer architecture is named
von Neumann in which instructions and data share a common memory. MCUs
have very limited memory and take advantage of the speed-up available by using
concurrent instruction and data access. Additionally, having separate memories
means that the processor is no longer constrained to the same sized data widths.
This means instructions can be fetched and executed in 4-byte chunks or 32 bits,
while data can be simultaneously handled with 1-byte or 8-bit chunks, thus
speeding up the overall throughput to and from the processor and memory.
Another advantage the Harvard architecture has over the von Neumann form is
that instruction prefetches can now be done in parallel with regular instruction
executions, thus further speeding up the overall system performance. Finally,
concurrent instruction and data access eliminates the need for data caches, which
are typically used in von Neumann machines. This further reduces system
complexity and power consumption.
The Nucleo-64 board used in this book is the STM MCU, model number
STM32F302R8. This chip has a 64-KB flash memory and a 16-KB static
random access memory (SRAM). Yes, those are kilobytes, not mega- or
gigabytes. You cannot expect to create any graphical programs that run in this
limited memory space. Microcontroller programs are truly a throwback to the
earliest days of computing where memory was very limited and developers had
to use every available byte to store and execute programs. Having mentioned the
scarce memory resources, you will be able to use a variety of modern-day
graphic-based programs to develop the MCU program, but they will run on a
PC. The compiled and optimized binary code will be downloaded into the MCU
from the PC.
It turns out that 64 KB is plenty of space to run fairly large programs because
the C/C++ cross-compiler used for this book’s projects produces optimize code,
eliminating all but the essential instructions needed for the program. The 16-KB
SRAM size is more than adequate for the dynamic memory requirements to
support a maximum 64-KB sized program. The actual memory is integrated onto
