2 Product marking

Evaluation tools marked as “ES” or “E” are not yet qualified and are therefore not ready to be used as reference design or in production. Any consequences arising from such usage will not be at STMicroelectronics’ charge. In no event will STMicroelectronics be liable for any customer usage of these engineering sample tools as reference designs or in production.

‘E’ or ‘ES’ marking examples of location:

• on the targeted STM32 that is soldered on the board (for illustration of STM32 marking, refer to the section Package information in the STM32 datasheet at www.st.com).

• next to the evaluation tool ordering part number, that is stuck or silkscreen printed on the board

This board features a specific STM32 device version, which allows the operation of any bundled commercial stack/library available. This STM32 device shows a "U" marking option at the end of the standard part number and is not available for sales.

In order to use the same commercial stack in his application, a developer may need to purchase a part number specific to this stack/library. The price of those part numbers includes the stack/library royalties.

3 System requirements

• Windows® OS (7, 8 and 10), Linux® 64-bit or macOS

• USB Type-A to Micro-B cable

7 Delivery recommendations

Some verifications are needed before using the board for the first time to make sure that nothing has been damaged during the shipment and that no components are unplugged or lost. When the board is extracted from its plastic bag, check that no component remains in the bag. In particularly, make sure that the following jumpers on top side of the board are plugged: CN3, JP3, JP5, and JP6.

The battery CR2032 is not provided.

UM1879 Bootloader limitations

9 Bootloader limitations

Boot from system Flash memory results in executing bootloader code stored in the system Flash memory protected against writing and erasing. This allows in-system programming (ISP), that is, flashing the STM32 user Flash memory. It also allows writing data into RAM. The data come in via one of communication interfaces such as USART, SPI, I or CAN.

Bootloader version can be identified by reading the Bootloader ID at the address 0x1FFF6FFE.

The STM32L476VGT6 part soldered on the 32L476GDISCOVERY main board is marked with a date code corresponding to its date of manufacturing. STM32L476VGT6 parts with the date code prior or equal to week 22 of 2015 are fitted with bootloader V the limitations to be worked around, as described hereunder. Parts with the date code starting from week 23 of 2015 contain bootloader V exist.

To locate the visual date code information on the STM32L476VGT6 package, refer to its datasheet (DS10198) available at www.st.com, section Package Information. Date code related portion of the package marking takes Y year and WW is the week. For example, a part manufactured in week 23 of 2015 bares the date code 5

9.0 affected by

Bootloader ID of the bootloader V 9.0 is 0x90.

The following limitations exist in the bootloader V 9.0:

1. RAM data get corrupted when written via USART/SPI/I2C/USB interface

Description:

Data write operation into RAM space via USART, SPI, I2C bus or USB results in wrong or no data written.

Workaround:

To correct the issue of wrong write into RAM, download the STSW-STM32158 bootloader V V9.0 SRAM patch" to the MCU, following the information in readme.txt file available in the package.

2. User Flash memory data get corrupted when written via CAN interface

Description:

Data write operation into user Flash memory space via CAN interface results in wrong or no data written.

Workaround:

To correct the issue of wrong write into Flash memory, download the STSW-STM32158 bootloader V CAN patch" to the MCU, following the information in readme.txt file available in the package.

• Mass storage interface on USB

• USB power management request for more than 100mA power on USB

These features are no more supported on ST-LINK/V2-1:

• SWIM interface

• Application voltage lower than 3 V

For all general information concerning debugging and programming features common between V2 and V2-1 refer to ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32 User manual (UM1075). There are two different ways to use the embedded ST-LINK/V2-1 depending on the jumper states:

• Program/debug the STM32L476VGT6 on board (Section 10.1.3)

• Program/debug an STM32 in an external application board using a cable connected to

SWD connector CN4 (Section 10.1.4)

Table 3. Jumper states

Jumper state Description

Both CN3 jumpers ON ST-LINK/V2-1 functions enabled for on-board programming (default)

Both CN3 jumpers OFF

10.1.1 Drivers

The ST-LINK/V2-1 requires a dedicated USB driver, which can be found on the www.st.com website.

In case the STM32L476 Discovery board is connected to the PC before the driver is installed, some interfaces may be declared as “Unknown” in the PC device manager. In this case the user must install the driver files, and update the driver of the connected device from the device manager.

ST-LINK/V2-1 functions enabled for external board through external CN4 connector (SWD supported)
