Evaluation board with STM32L4R9AI MCU

The STM32L4R9I-EVAL board is designed as a complete demonstration and development platform for the STMicroelectronics Arm microcontroller with four I²C buses, three SPI and six USART ports, CAN port, two SAI ports, 12-bit ADC, 12-bit DAC, internal 640-Kbyte SRAM and 2-Mbyte Flash memory, two Octo-SPI memory interfaces, touch-sensing capability, USB OTG FS port, LCD-TFT controller, MIPI interface and JTAG debugging support.

The STM32L4R9I-EVAL, shown in Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5, is used as a reference design for user application development before porting to the final product.

The full range of hardware features on the board helps the user to evaluate all the peripherals (USB, USART, digital microphones, ADC and DAC, TFT LCD, MIPI DSI display, LDR, SRAM, NOR Flash memory device, Octo-SPI Flash memory device, microSD™ card, sigma-delta modulators, CAN transceiver, EEPROM) and develop applications. Extension headers allow easy connection of a daughterboard or wrapping board for a specific application.

An ST-LINK/V2-1 is integrated on the board, as the embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCU and the USB virtual COM port bridge.

Compared to the ST-LINK/V2 stand-alone tool available from STMicroelectronics, STLINK/V2-1 offers new features and drops some others.

New features:

• USB software re-enumeration

• Virtual COM port interface on USB

• Mass storage interface on USB

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

Features dropped:

• SWIM interface

The CN21 USB connector can be used to power STM32L4R9I-EVAL regardless of the ST-LINK/V2-1 facility use for debugging or for flashing STM32L4R9AII6. This holds also when the ST-LINK/V2 stand-alone tool is connected to CN12, CN17, CN11, or CN15 connector and used for debugging or flashing STM32L4R9AII6. Section 6.5 provides more details on powering STM32L4R9I-EVAL. For full detail on both versions of the debug and flashing tool, the stand-alone ST-LINK/V2 and the embedded ST-LINK/V2-1, refer to www.st.com.

6.3.1 Drivers

Before connecting STM32L4R9I-EVAL to a Windows (XP, 7, 8 10) PC via USB, a driver for ST-LINK/V2-1 must be installed. It is available from www.st.com.

In case the STM32L4R9I-EVAL board is connected to the PC before installing the driver, the Windows device manager may report some USB devices found on STM32L4R9I-EVAL as “Unknown”. To recover from this situation, after installing the dedicated driver downloaded from www.st.com, the association of “Unknown” USB devices found on STM32L4R9I-EVAL to this dedicated driver must be updated in the device manager manually. It is recommended to proceed using the USB Composite Device line, as shown in

Figure 8.

Figure 8. USB composite device

6.3.2 ST-LINK/V2-1 firmware upgrade

For its operation, ST-LINK/V2-1 employs a dedicated MCU with Flash memory. Its firmware determines ST-LINK/V2-1 functionality and performance. The firmware may evolve during the life span of STM32L4R9I-EVAL to include new functionality, fix bugs, or support new target microcontroller families. It is therefore recommended to keep ST-LINK/V2-1 firmware up to date. The latest version is available from www.st.com.

6.4 ETM trace

The CN12 connector is available to output trace signals used for debugging. By default, the Evaluation board is configured such that, STM32L4R9AII6 signals PE2, PE5, and PE6 are not connected to trace outputs Trace_CK, Trace_D2, and Trace_D3 of CN12. They are used for other functions.

Warning: Enabling the CN12 trace outputs through hardware modifications described in

Tabl e 3 results in reducing the memory address bus width to 20 address lines and so the

addressable space to 1 Mword of 16 bits. As a consequence, the onboard SRAM and NOR Flash memory usable capacity is reduced to 16 Mbits.

6.5 Power Supply

The STM32L4R9I-EVAL board is designed to be powered from 5 V DC power source. It incorporates a precise polymer Zener diode (Poly-Zen) protecting the board from damage due to the wrong power supply. One of the following four 5 an appropriate board configuration:

• Power jack CN18 marked PSU_DC5V on the board. A jumper must be placed in E5V location of JP11. The positive pole is on the center pin as illustrated in Figure 20.

• Micro-B USB receptacle CN21 of ST-LINK/V2-1 provides up to 500mA to the board. Offering enumeration feature described in Section 6.5.1.

• Micro-AB USB receptacle CN3 of USB OTG interface marked USB OTG_FS on the board, supplies up to 500mA to the board.

• Pin 39 of CN5 and Pin 39 of CN6 extension connectors for a custom daughterboard, marked D5V on the board.

6.5.1 Supplying the board through ST-LINK/V2-1 USB port

To power STM32L4R9I-EVAL in this way, the USB host (a PC) gets connected with the STM32L4R9I-EVAL board’s Micro-B USB receptacle, via a USB cable. This event is the beginning of the USB enumeration procedure. In its initial phase, the host’s USB port current supply capability is limited to 100 mA. It is enough because only the ST-LINK/V2-1 part of STM32L4R9I-EVAL draws power at that time. If the SB33 solder bridge is open, the U22 ST890 power switch is set in the OFF position, which isolates the remainder of STM32L4R9I-EVAL from the power source. In the next phase of the enumeration procedure, the host PC informs the ST-LINK/V2-1 facility of its capability to supply up to 300 mA of current. If the answer is positive, the ST-LINK/V2-1 sets the U22 ST890 switch to ON position to supply power to the remainder of the STM32L4R9I-EVAL board. If the PC USB port is not capable of supplying up to 300 mA of current, the CN18 power jack is available to supply the board.

If a short-circuit occurs on the board, the ST890 power switch protects the USB port of the host PC against a current exceeding 600 mA. In such an event, the LD8 LED lights on.

The STM32L4R9I-EVAL board is also supply-able from a USB power source not supporting enumeration, such as a USB charger, as shown in power switch ON regardless of the enumeration procedure result and passes the power unconditionally to the board.

The LD7 red LED turns on whenever the whole board is powered.

Table 4. ST-LINK/V2-1 turns the ST890

6.5.2 Using ST-LINK/2-1 along with powering through the CN18 power jack

If the board requires more than 300 mA of supply current, this cannot be provided by the host PC connected to the ST-LINK/2-1 USB port, used for debugging or flashing STM32L4R9AII6. In such a case, the board is supplied through CN18 (marked PSU_DC5V on the board).

To do this, it is important to power the board before connecting it with the host PC, which requires the following sequence to be respected:

1. Set the jumper in JP11 header in E5V position,

2. Connect the external 5 V power source to CN18,

3. Check the red LED LD7 is turned on,

4. Connect the host PC to the CN12 USB connector.

In case the board requires more than 300 mA and the host PC is connected via USB before the board is powered from CN18, there is a risk of the following events to occur, in the order of severity:

1. The host PC is capable of supplying 300 mA (the enumeration succeeds) but it does not incorporate any over-current protection on its USB port. It is damaged due to overcurrent.

2. The host PC is capable of supplying 300 mA (the enumeration succeeds) and it has built-in over-current protection on its USB port, limiting or shutting down the power out of its USB port when the excessive current requirement from STM32L4R9I-EVAL is detected. This causes an operating failure to STM32L4R9I-EVAL.

3. The host PC is not capable of supplying 300 mA (the enumeration fails) so ST-LINK/V21 does not supply the remainder of STM32L4R9I-EVAL from its USB port V
