STM32H7 Nucleo-144 boards (MB1363)
Introduction
The STM32H7 Nucleo-144 boards based on the MB1363 reference board (NUCLEO-
H745ZI-Q, NUCLEO-H755ZI-Q, NUCLEO-H7A3ZI-Q) provide an affordable and flexible
way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes, by choosing from the various
combinations of performance and power consumption features provided by the STM32H7
microcontroller. The ST Zio connector, which extends the ARDUINO®Uno V3 connectivity,
and the ST morpho headers provide an easy means of expanding the functionality of the
Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields. The STM32H7
Nucleo-144 boards do not require any separate probe as they integrate the STLINK-V3E
debugger/programmer. The STM32H7 Nucleo-144 boards come with the comprehensive
free software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube MCU Package.

6.3 Program and debug the onboard STM32H7 target
There are two different ways to program and debug the onboard STM32H7 MCU.
•Using the embedded STLINK-V3E
•Using an external debug tool
6.3.1 Using the STLINK-V3E to program and debug the onboard STM32H7
Features
The STLINK-V3E programming and debugging tool is integrated into the STM32H7 Nucleo-
144 board.
The STLINK-V3E makes the STM32H7 Nucleo-144 board Mbed enabled.
The embedded STLINK-V3E supports:
•5 V power supplied by USB connector (CN1)
•USB 2.0 high-speed-compatible interface
•JTAG/serial wire debugging (SWD) specific features:
– 3 V to 3.6 V application voltage on the JTAG/SWD interface and 5 V tolerant
inputs
–JTAG
– SWD and serial viewer (SWV) communication
•Direct firmware update feature (DFU) (CN2)
•STDC14 (MIPI10) compatible connector (CN5)
•Status COM LED (LD4) which blinks during communication with the PC
•Fault red LED (LD6) alerting on USB overcurrent request
•5 V/500 mA output power supply capability (U2) with current limitation and LED
•Green LED ON: 5 V enabled (LD5)
How to use
It is very easy to use the STLINK-V3E to program and debug the onboard STM32H7.
1. Verify that the jumper JP2 of Power Supply Sources is correctly set (Refer to
Section 6.4).
2. Connect the board to a PC with a USB cable 'type A to micro-B' through the USB
connector CN1.
Note: For more details regarding the STLINK-V3E functionalities, refer to the STLINK-V3E user
manual on the www.st.com website
Drivers
Before connecting the product via USB to a PC running on Windows 7 or 8, a driver for the
STLINK-V3E must be installed (Not required for Windows 10). It is available on the
www.st.com website.
In case the STM32H7 Nucleo-144 board is connected to the PC before installing the driver,
the PC device manager may report some Nucleo interfaces as “Unknown”.

To recover from this situation, after installing the dedicated driver, the association of
“Unknown” USB devices found on the STM32H7 Nucleo-144 board to this dedicated driver,
must be updated in the device manager manually.
Note: It is recommended to proceed using a USB composite device, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. USB composite device
Note: 37xx = 374E for STLINK/V3 without bridges functions

STLINK-V3E firmware upgrade
The STLINK-V3E embeds a firmware upgrade mechanism for an in-situ upgrade through
the USB port. As the firmware may evolve during the lifetime of the STLINK-V3E product
(For example new functionalities, bug fixes, support for new microcontroller families), it is
recommended to keep the STLINK-V3E firmware up to date before starting to use the
STM32H7 Nucleo-144 board. The latest version of this firmware is available from the
www.st.com website.
6.3.2 Using an external debug tool to program and debug the onboard
STM32H7
There are 2 basic ways to support an external Debug tool:
1. Keep the embedded STLINK-V3E running.
Power on the STLINK-V3E at first until the COM LED lights RED. Then the user
connects his external debug tool through CN5 MIPI-10 debug connector.
2. Set the embedded STLINK-V3E in high impedance state:
When the user states the jumper JP1 (STLK_RST) ON, the embedded STLINK-V3E is
in RESET state and all GPIOs are in high impedance, then the user can connect his
external debug tool to the debug connector CN5.
Note: Depending on the design requirement, the embedded STLINK-V3E Hardware could be
completely disconnected if that is required early in the project.

6.4 Power supply and power selection
The power supply can be provided by five different sources:
•A host PC connected to CN1 through a USB cable (Default setting)
•An external 7-11 V power supply connected to CN8 pin 15 or CN11 pin 24
•An external 5 V power supply connected to CN11 pin 6
•An external 5 V USB charger (5V_USB_CHGR) connected to CN1
•An external 3.3 V power supply (3V3) connected to CN8 pin 7 or CN11 pin 16
In case VIN, EXT, CHGR or 3.3 V is used to power the Nucleo-144 board, this power source
must comply with the standard EN-60950-1: 2006+A11/2009 and must be Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) with limited power capability.
In case the power supply is 3.3 V or a 5 V USB charger on CN1, the ST-LINK is not powered
and cannot be used.
6.4.1 Power supply input from STLINK-V3E USB connector (Default setting)
The STM32H7 Nucleo-144 board and shield can be powered from the ST-LINK USB
connector CN1 (U5V), by placing a jumper between the pins 1-2 of JP2 STLK (Refer to
Figure 8).

This is the default setting.
Figure 8. Power supply input from ST-LINK USB connector with PC (5 V, 500 mA max)
If the USB enumeration succeeds, the 5V_ST_LINK power is enabled, by asserting the
PWR_ENn signal from STM32F723IEK6 ‘STLINK V3’ (U7). This pin is connected to a
power switch STMPS2151STR (U2), which powers the board. The power switch
STMPS2151STR (U2) features also a current limitation to protect the PC in case of onboard
short-circuit. If an overcurrent, more than 500 mA, happens on-board, the red LED LD6 is lit.
Nucleo board and its shield on it can be powered from ST-LINK USB connector CN1, but
only the ST-LINK circuit gets power before USB enumeration because the host PC only
provides 100 mA to the board at that time.
During the USB enumeration, the Nucleo board asks for the 500 mA power to the host PC.
•If the host is able to provide the required power, the enumeration finishes by a
"SetConfiguration" command and then, the power switch STMPS2151STR is switched
ON, the Green LED LD5 is turned ON, thus Nucleo board and its shield on it can
consume 500 mA current, but not more.
•If the host is not able to provide the requested current, the enumeration fails.
Therefore, the STMPS2151STR power switch (U2) remains OFF and the MCU part
including the extension board is not powered. As a consequence, the GREEN LED
LD5 remains turned OFF. In this case, it is mandatory to use an external power supply.
6.4.2 External power supply input from VIN (7-11 V, 800 mA max)
When the STM32H7 Nucleo-144 board is power supplied by VIN (Refer to Table 4 and
Figure 9), the jumper configuration must be the following: Jumper JP2 on pin 3-4 VIN.

6.4.4 External power supply input from USB CHARGER (5V)
When the STM32H7 Nucleo-144 board is power supplied by a USB charger on CN1 (Refer
to Table 7 and Figure 11), the jumper configuration must be the following: Jumper JP2 on
pin 7-8 CHGR.

6.4.5 External power supply input from 3V3_EXT (3.3 V)
When the 3.3V is provided by a shield board, it is interesting to use the 3.3 V (CN8 pin 7 or
CN11 pin 16) directly as a power input (Refer to Table 8 and Figure 12). In this case, the
programming and debugging features are not available, since the ST-LINK is not powered.
