UM1669 Quick start

2 Quick start

The STM32F401 Discovery is a low-cost and easy-to-use development kit to quickly

evaluate and start a development with an STM32F4 entry level microcontroller.
Before installing and using the product, please accept the Evaluation Product License
Agreement from www.st.com/stm32f4-discovery.
For more information on the STM32F401 Discovery board and for demonstration software,
visit www.st.com/stm32f4-discovery.

2.1 Getting started

Follow the sequence below to configure the STM32F401 Discovery board and launch the
DISCOVER application:
1. Ensure that the jumpers JP2 and CN3 are set to "on" (Discovery mode).
2. Connect the STM32F401 Discovery board to a PC using a USB cable type A/mini-B
through the USB ST-LINK connector CN1, to power the board. The LED LD2 (PWR)
will light up and the four LEDs between the buttons B1 and B2 start blinking.

4.2 Embedded ST-LINK/V2

The ST-LINK/V2 programming and debugging tool is integrated on the STM32F401
Discovery board. The embedded ST-LINK/V2 can be used in 2 different ways according to
the jumper states (see Table 3):
• Program/debug the MCU on board,
• Program/debug an MCU in an external application board using a cable connected to
SWD connector CN2.
The embedded ST-LINK/V2 supports only SWD for STM32 devices. For information about
debugging and programming features, refer to user manual UM1075 (ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit
debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32) which describes in detail all the ST-LINK/V2
features.

Hardware requirements:
- USB cable type A to mini-B
- Computer with Windows XP, Vista or 7

4.2.1 Using ST-LINK/V2 to program/debug the STM32F401 on board

To program the STM32F401 on board, simply plug in the two jumpers on CN3, as shown in
Figure 7 in red, but do not use the CN2 connector as that could disturb communication with
the STM32F401VCT6 of the STM32F401 Discovery board.

4.2.2 Using ST-LINK/V2 to program/debug an external STM32 application

It is very easy to use the ST-LINK/V2 to program the STM32 on an external application.
Simply remove the 2 jumpers from CN3 as shown in Figure 8, and connect your application
to the CN2 debug connector according to Table 4.
Note: SB13 must be OFF if you use CN2 pin 5 in your external application.

4.3 Power supply and power selection

The power supply is provided either by the host PC through the USB cable, or by an
external 5 V power supply.
The D1 and D2 diodes protect the 5 V and 3 V pins from external power supplies:
• 5 V and 3 V can be used as output power supplies when another application board is
connected to pins P1 and P2.
In this case, the 5 V and 3 V pins deliver a 5 V or 3 V power supply and the power
consumption must be lower than 100 mA.
• 5 V can also be used as input power supplies, e.g. when the USB connector is not
connected to the PC.
In this case, the STM32F401 Discovery board must be powered by a power supply unit
or by an auxiliary equipment complying with standard EN-60950-1: 2006+A11/2009,
and must be Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) with limited power capability.

4.4 LEDs
• LD1 COM:
LD1 default status is red. LD1 turns to green to indicate that communications are in
progress between the PC and the ST-LINK/V2.
• LD2 PWR:
The red LED indicates that the board is powered.
• User LD3:
The orange LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PD13 of the STM32F401VCT6.
• User LD4:

4.6 On board audio capability

The STM32F401 uses an audio DAC (CS43L22) to output sounds through the audio mini
jack connector.
The STM32F401 controls the audio DAC through the I2C interface and processes digital
signals through an I2S connection or analog input signal.
• The sound can come independently from different inputs:
– ST MEMS microphone (MP45DT02): digital using PDM protocol or analog when
using the low pass filter.
– USB connector: from external mass storage such as a USB key, USB HDD, and
so on.
– Internal memory of the STM32F401.
• The sound can be output in different ways through audio DAC:
– Using the I2S protocol
– Using the microphone output directly via a low pass filter to analog input AIN4x of
the CS43L22

4.7 USB OTG supported

The STM32F401 is used to drive only USB OTG full speed on this board. The USB micro-
AB connector (CN5) allows the user to connect a host or device component, such as a USB
key, mouse, and so on.
Two LEDs are dedicated to this module:
• LD7 (green LED) indicates when VBUS is active
• LD8 (red LED) indicates an overcurrent from a connected device.

4.8 E-compass MEMS (ST MEMS LSM303DLHC)

The LSM303DLHC is an ultra-compact low-power system-in-package featuring a 3D digital
linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. It includes a sensing element
and an IC interface able to provide the measured acceleration to the external world through
an I2C serial interface.
The LSM303DLHC has dynamically user-selectable full scales of ± 2g/± 8g and is capable
of measuring the acceleration, and a magnetic field full scale from ±1.3 g to 8.1 g with an
output data rate of 100 Hz or 400 Hz.
The STM32F401VCT6 MCU controls this motion sensor through the I2C interface.

4.9 Gyroscope MEMS (ST MEMS L3GD20)

The L3GD20 is an ultra-compact, low-power, three-axis angular rate sensor. It includes a
sensing element and an IC interface able to provide the measured angular rate to the
external world through the I2C/SPI serial interface.
The L3GD20 has dynamically user-selectable full scales of ± 250 dps/500 dps/±2000 dps
and is capable of measuring rates.

The STM32F401VCT6 MCU controls this motion sensor through the SPI interface.

4.10 JP2 (Idd)

Jumper JP2, labeled Idd, allows the consumption of STM32F401VCT6 to be measured by
removing the jumper and connecting an ammeter.
• Jumper on: STM32F401VCT6 is powered (default).
• Jumper off: an ammeter must be connected to measure the STM32F401VCT6 current,
(if there is no ammeter, the STM32F401VCT6 is not powered).

4.11 OSC clock
