4.2 Embedded ST-LINK/V2
The ST-LINK/V2 programming and debugging tool is integrated on the
STM32F0DISCOVERY. The embedded ST-LINK/V2 can be used in 2 different ways
according to the jumper states (see Tabl e 3):
●Program/debug the MCU on board,
●Program/debug an MCU in an external application board using a cable connected to
SWD connector CN3.
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.

4.2.1 Using ST-LINK/V2 to program/debug the STM32 F0 on board
To program the STM32 F0 on board, simply plug in the two jumpers on CN2, as shown in
Figure 8 in red, but do not use the CN3 connector as that could disturb communication with
the STM32F051R8T6 of the STM32F0DISCOVERY.

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 CN2 as shown in Figure 9, and connect your application
to the CN3 debug connector according to Tabl e 4.
Note: SB19 and SB22 must be OFF if you use CN3 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
5V power supply.
The D1 and D2 diodes protect the 5V and 3V pins from external power supplies:
●5V and 3V can be used as output power supplies when another application board is
connected to pins P1 and P2.
In this case, the 5V and 3V pins deliver a 5V or 3V power supply and power
consumption must be lower than 100 mA.
●5V can also be used as input power supplies e.g. when the USB connector is not
connected to the PC.
In this case, the STM32F0DISCOVERY board must be powered by a power supply unit
or by 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 PWR: Red LED indicates that the board is powered.
●LD2 COM: Tricolor LED (COM) advises on the communication status as follows:
– Slow blinking Red LED/Off: At power on before USB initialization
– Fast blinking Red LED/Off: After the first correct communication between PC and
STLINK/V2 (enumeration)
– Red LED On: When initialization between PC and ST-LINK/V2 is successfully
finished
– Green LED On: After successful target communication initialization
– Blinking Red/Green LED: During communication with target
– Red LED On: Communication finished and OK
– Orange LED On: Communication failure
●User LD3: Green user LED connected to the I/O PC9 of the STM32F051R8T6.
●User LD4: Blue user LED connected to the I/O PC8 of the STM32F051R8T6.
4.5 Push buttons
●B1 USER: User push button connected to the I/O PA0 of the STM32F051R8T6.
●B2 RESET: Push button used to RESET the STM32F051R8T6.
4.6 JP2 (Idd)
Jumper JP2, labeled Idd, allows the consumption of STM32F051R8T6 to be measured by
removing the jumper and connecting an ammeter.
●Jumper on: STM32F051R8T6 is powered (default).
●Jumper off: an ammeter must be connected to measure the STM32F051R8T6 current,
(if there is no ammeter, the STM32F051R8T6 is not powered).

4.7 OSC clock
4.7.1 OSC clock supply
PF0 and PF1 can be used as GPIO or as HSE oscillator. By default these I/Os are
configured as GPIO, so SB16 and SB17 are closed, SB18 is open and R22, R23, C13 and
C14 are not populated.
An external HSE clock can be provided to the MCU in three ways:
●MCO from ST-LINK. From MCO of the STM32F103. This frequency cannot be
changed, it is fixed at 8 MHz and connected to PF0-OSC_IN of the STM32F051R8T6.
Configuration needed:
– SB16, SB18 CLOSED
–R22,R23removed
– SB17 OPEN
●Oscillator onboard. From X2 crystal (not provided). For typical frequencies and its
capacitors and resistors, please refer to the STM32F051R8T6 Datasheet.
Configuration needed:
– SB16, SB17 SB18 OPEN
– R22, R23, C13, C14 soldered
●Oscillator from external PF0. From external oscillator through pin 7 of the P1
connector. Configuration needed:
– SB16, SB17 CLOSED
– SB18 OPEN
– R22 and R23 removed
4.7.2 OSC 32 KHz clock supply
PC14 and PC15 can be used as GPIO or as LSE oscillator. By default these I/Os are
configured as GPIO, so SB20 & SB21 are closed and X3, R24, R25 are not populated.
An external LSE clock can be provided to the MCU in two ways:
●Oscillator onboard. From X3 crystal (not provided). Configuration needed:
– SB20, SB21 OPEN
– C15, C16, R24 and R25 soldered.
●Oscillator from external PC14. From external oscillator trough the pin 5 of P1
connector. Configuration needed:
– SB20, SB21 CLOSED
– R24 and R25 removed
