5 Quick start
The STM32 Nucleo-32 board is a low-cost and easy-to-use development kit used to quickly
evaluate and start a development with an STM32 microcontroller in LQFP32 or UFQFPN32
package.
Before installing and using the product, accept the Evaluation Product License Agreement
that can be found at www.st.com/epla.
For more information on the STM32 Nucleo-32 board and to access the demonstration
software, visit the www.st.com/stm32nucleo webpage.
5.1 Getting started
Follow the sequence below, to configure the STM32 Nucleo-32 board and launch the
demonstration software:
• Check solder bridge position on the board, SB1 OFF, SB14 ON (internal regulator), JP1
ON (IDD) selected.
• For a correct identification of all device interfaces from the host PC and before
connecting the board, install the Nucleo USB driver, available at
www.st.com/stm32nucleo.
• Connect the Nucleo-32 board to a PC with a USB cable ‘type A to Micro-B’ through
USB connector CN1 to power the board. The red LED LD2 (PWR) and LD1 (COM) light
up and green LED LD3 blinks.
• Remove the jumper placed between D2 (CN3 pin 5) and GND (CN3 pin 4).
• Observe how the blinking frequency of the green LED LD3 changes, when the jumper
is in place or when it is removed.
• The demonstration software and several software examples on how to use the Nucleo-
32 board features, are available at www.st.com/stm32nucleo webpage.
• Develop your own application using available examples.
5.2 System requirements
• Windows (XP, 7, 8)
• USB type A to Micro-B USB cable
