5 Quick start
Before installing and using the product, accept the evaluation product license agreement from the www.st.com/
epla webpage.
Follow the sequence below to configure the STM32U5G9J-DK2 Discovery board and launch the demonstration
application (refer to Figure 5 for component location):
1. For the correct identification of all the device interfaces from the host PC and before connecting the board,
install the STLINK-V3EC USB driver available on the www.st.com website.
2. Check that the JP1 jumper (5V power source selection) is set on [1-2] selecting 5V from STLINK-V3EC
(STLK) and JP4 (VDD_MCU current measurement) is ON powering the microcontroller. Refer to Table 4.
3. Connect the STM32U5G9J-DK2 Discovery board to a PC with a USB cable (USB Type-A or USB Type-C® to
USB Type-C®) through the STLINK-V3EC USB connector (CN8) to power the board.
4. Then, the 5V_PWR green LED (LD1) lights up and the COM LED (LD7) blinks.
5. The LCD module displays a menu with icons, indicating the demonstration application software startup.
6. The demonstration application software and its user manual, as well as other software examples for exploring
STM32U5G9J-DK features are available on the STM32CubeU5 webpage.
7. Develop your application using the available examples.

6.4.1 Description
There are two different ways to program and debug the onboard STM32 MCU:
• Using the embedded STLINK-V3EC
• Using an external debug tool connected to the MIPI10 connector (CN11) or the Tag‑Connect™ footprint
(CN10) with a TC2050-IDC-NL cable
Features supported in STLINK-V3EC:
• 5 V/500 mA power supplied by the USB Type-C® connector (CN1)
• USB 2.0 USB high-speed‑compatible interface
• JTAG and Serial Wire Debug (SWD) with Serial Wire Viewer (SWV)
• Virtual COM port (VCP)
• COM status LED (LD7), which blinks during communication with the PC
• Power status LED (LD6), which gives information about STLINK-V3EC target power
• USB-C® overvoltage protection (U16) with current limitation
