5Delivery recommendations
Some verifications are needed before using the Evaluation board for the first time, to make sure that no damage
occurred during shipment and that no components are unplugged or lost.
When the board is extracted from its plastic bag, check that no component remains in the bag. The main
component to verify is the microSD™ card that may have been ejected from the connector CN13 (right side of the
board). In the latest packing, the microSD™ card is provided separately in the carton box. Install this microSD™
card into CN13 before using the board.
Warning: There is an explosion risk if the battery is replaced by an incorrect one. Make sure to
dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

6.3 Embedded STLINK-V3E
The STLINK-V3E programming and debugging tool is integrated on the STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board.
The key STLINK-V3E features are the following:
• Standalone probe with modular extensions
• Self-powered through a USB connector (Micro-B)
• USB 2.0 high-speed compatible interface
• Direct firmware update support (DFU)
• JTAG/serial wire debugging (SWD) specific features:
– 3 V to 3.6 V application voltage support and 5 V tolerant inputs
– Flat cables STDC14 to MIPI10 / STDC14 / MIPI20 (connectors with 1.27 mm pitch)
– JTAG communication support
– SWD and serial wire viewer (SWV) communication support
• Virtual COM port (VCP) specific features:
– 3 V to 3.6 V application voltage support on the UART interface and 5 V tolerant inputs
– VCP frequency up to 15 MHz
– Available on STDC14 debug connector (not available on MIPI10)
•Multipath bridge USB to SPI/UART/I2C/CAN/GPIOs specific features:
– 3 to 3.6 V application voltage support and 5 V tolerant inputs
– Signals available on adapter board only (MB1440)
• Drag-and-drop flash memory programming
• Two color LEDs: communication, power
Refer to www.st.com for details about STLINK-V3E.
Note: It is possible to power the Evaluation board through CN23 (embedded STLINK-V3E USB connector) even if an
external tool is connected to CN8 (ETM Trace connector) or CN9 (external JTAG and SWD connector).
ETM can only work at 50 MHz clock by default because ETM signals are shared with other peripherals. If better
performance of ETM is required (84 MHz/98 MHz), R217, R230, R231, R234, R236, SB2, SB5, SB8, SB11,
SB42, SB57 must be removed to reduce the stub on ETM signals. In this configuration, SAI and PDM are not
functional and NOR flash memory and the address of SRAM are limited on A18.
ETM trace function would be abnormal as SAI_SDB share the same pins with TRACE_D0, and TRACE_D0
would be forced high by SAI_SDB. When using ETM trace, it is necessary to set the ADCDAT1 pin (SAI_SDB
signal of the STM32) of the audio codec (U22) by software to be tri-state.
6.3.1 Drivers and firmware upgrade
The STLINK-V3E requires drivers to be installed on Windows®. It embeds firmware, which needs to be updated
from time to time to benefit from new functionalities and bug corrections. Refer to technical note Overview of
ST-LINK derivated (TN1235) for details.
6.4 Power supply
The STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board is designed to be powered by 5 V DC power supply and is protected
by PolyZen from wrong power plug-in events. It is possible to configure the Evaluation board to use any of the
following six sources for the power supply:
• 5 V DC power adapter connected to CN10, the power jack on the board (the Power Supply Unit on the
silkscreen of JP10 (PSU)).
• 5 V DC power with 500 mA limitation from CN23, the USB Micro-B connector of STLINK-V3E (USB 5 V
power source on the silkscreen of JP10 (STlk)). If the USB enumeration succeeds (as explained below),
the ST-LINK U5V power is enabled, by asserting the PWR_EN pin. This pin is connected to a power switch
(ST890) that powers the board. This power switch features also a current limitation to protect the PC in
case of short-circuit on the board. If an overcurrent (more than 600 mA) happens on the board, the LED
LD11 lights up.
• 5 V DC power with 500 mA limitation from CN14, the USB OTG1_HS Micro-AB connector (USB 5 V power
source on the silkscreen of JP10 (HS)).
• 5 V DC power with 500 mA limitation from CN18, the USB OTG2_FS Micro-AB connector (USB 5 V power
source on the silkscreen of JP10 (FS2)).
UM2525
Embedded STLINK-V3E
UM2525 - Rev 6 page 10/49

• 5 V DC power with 500 mA limitation from CN16, the USB OTG1_FS Micro-AB connector (USB 5 V power
source on the silkscreen of JP10 (FS1)).
• 5 V DC power from CN6 and CN7, the extension connectors for the daughterboard (the power source of
the daughterboard on the silkscreen of JP10 (D5V)).
The STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board can be powered from the STLINK-V3E USB connector CN23 (U5V),
but only the STLINK-V3E circuit has the power before USB enumeration, because the host PC only provides
100 mA to the board at that time. During the USB enumeration phase, the STM32H7x7I-EVAL board requires
300 mA power from the host PC. If the host is able to provide the required power, the enumeration succeeds,
the power transistor U19 is switched ON, the green LED LD9 is turned ON, and thus the STM32H7x7I-EVAL
board is powered and can consume maximum 300 mA current. If the host PC is not able to provide the requested
current, the enumeration fails. Therefore, the STM32 part including the extension board is not powered. As a
consequence the green LED LD9 remains turned OFF. In this case, it is mandatory to use an external power
supply to supply extra power.
E5V (from PSU) or D5V can be used as an external power supply in case the current consumption of the
STM32H7x7I-EVAL board exceeds the allowed current on USB. In this condition, it is still possible to use USB
for communication, programming or debugging only, but it is mandatory to power the board first using E5V or
D5V, and then connecting the USB cable to the PC. Proceeding this way ensures that the enumeration succeeds
thanks to the external power source.
The following power sequence procedure must be respected:
1. Connect jumper JP10 for PSU or D5V side
2. Check that SB35 is removed
3. Connect the external power source to PSU or D5V (daughterboard mounted)
4. Check that green LED LD9 is turned ON
5. Connect the PC to USB connector CN23
If this order is not respected, the board may be powered by VBUS first then by E5V or D5V, and the following risks
may be encountered:
1. If more than 300 mA current is needed by the board, the PC may be damaged, or current can be limited by
the PC. As a consequence the board is not powered correctly.
2. 300 mA is requested at the enumeration phase (since JP15 must be OFF), so there is risk that the request
is rejected and the enumeration does not succeed if the PC cannot provide such current. Consequently, the
board is not powered (LED LD9 remains OFF).
Note: In case the STM32H7x7I-EVAL board is powered by a USB charger, there is no USB enumeration, so the LED
LD9 remains set to OFF permanently and the board is not powered. Only in this specific case the jumper JP15
needs to be set to ON, to allow the board to be powered anyway.
The power supply is configured by setting the related jumpers JP9, JP10, and JP11 as described in Table 5.

The LED LD9 lights up when the STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board is powered by the 5 V correctly.
Note: To avoid the impact of USB PHY, Ethernet PHY and get precise results about current consumption on JP9, take
into account the following cautions:
1. Remove JP5 to avoid Ethernet PHY influence.
2. Configure USB HS PHY into low-power mode (Register Address=04, bit 6 in USB PHY)
6.4.1 SMPS/LDO power supply
There are three solutions to provide power to the microcontroller VCORE logic supply: SMPS, LDO, and SMPS
+ LDO. Power consumption in run mode is significantly improved by generating VCORE from the internal DC/DC
converter (SMPS) and the default connection must be set to SMPS. Some modifications are required to supply
the microcontroller from the LDO. Below the board configuration for each case:
• SMPS mode (default):
– SB14, SB20, SB10, SB53, and L1 mounted
– SB13, SB17, SB23, SB16, SB18 removed
• LDO mode:
– SB13, SB23, SB18 mounted
– SB14, SB16, SB20, SB10, SB17, SB53, and L1 removed
• SMPS + LDO mode:
– SB13, SB23, SB10, SB53, and L1 mounted
– SB14, SB16, SB17, SB18, and SB20 removed
Caution: A deadlock occurs if the board SMPS/LDO firmware PWR configuration does not match its hardware
configuration: after the reset, the ST-LINK cannot connect the target anymore.
The firmware PWR configuration must be set as follows in the function SystemClock_Config in the file main.
c:
• If the hardware configuration is Direct SMPS (default configuration):
HAL_PWREx_ConfigSupply(PWR_DIRECT_SMPS_SUPPLY);
• If the hardware configuration is LDO:
HAL_PWREx_ConfigSupply(PWR_LDO_SUPPLY);
If a deadlock occurs because of a mismatch between hardware and firmware PWR settings (SMPS/LDO), the
user can recover the board by applying the following procedure:
1. Power off the board.
2. Set SW1 (BOOT0) to 1 (system memory).
This changes the BOOT0 pin to 1 instead of 0, thus changing the device boot address to boot address 1
and making the bootloader start in System memory. This avoids starting firmware in the user flash memory
with a wrong SMPS/LDO configuration versus the hardware board configuration.
3. Power on the board and connect using STM32CubeProgrammer (STM32CubeProg).
4. Erase the user flash memory.
5. Power off the board and set SW1 to 0.
6. The board is recovered and can be used normally with matching firmware PWR.
6.5 Clock source
Two clock sources (X1 and X2) are available on the STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board for the STM32H7x7XI,
and embedded RTC. Other clock sources (X3 and X4) are used for their peripherals:
• X1, 25 MHz crystal for the STM32H7x7XI, it can be disconnected by removing R15 and R16 when an
internal RC clock is used
• X2, 32 kHz crystal for embedded RTC
• X3, 25 MHz crystal for Ethernet PHY
• X4, 24 MHz crystal for USB OTG2_HS PHY

The reset signal of the STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board is active low and the reset sources include:
• Reset button B1
• Debugging tools from JTAG/SWD connector CN9 and ETM trace connector CN8
• Daughterboard from CN6
• Embedded STLINK-V3E
• RS-232 connector CN2 for ISP.
Note: The jumper JP6 has to be ON for RESET handled by pin 8 of RS-232 connector CN2 (CTS signal).
6.7 Boot option
The STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board can boot from:
• Embedded user flash memory
• System memory with boot loader for ISP
• Embedded SRAM for debugging
The boot option is configured by setting the switch SW1 (BOOT) and the boot base address programmed in the

6.8 Audio
An audio codec with four DACs and two ADCs inside is connected to the SAI interface of the STM32H7x7I-EVAL
microcontroller to support the TDM feature on the SAI port. This feature is able to implement audio recording on
digital and analog microphones and audio playback of various audio streams on headphone and lineout at the
same time.
It communicates with the STM32H7x7XI through the I2C1 bus, which is shared with LCD and MFX (Multi Function
eXpander).
The analog microphone on the headset is connected to the ADC of the audio codec through the audio jack CN17.
External speakers can be connected to the audio codec through the audio jack CN19.
Two digital microphones are on the STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board. They can be connected to either an
audio codec DFSDM or to the PDM port of the STM32H7x7XI, by setting the switch SW2 shown in the table
below. For legacy, the coupon connectors CN25 and CN26 can be used to support the ST-MEMS microphone
after removing the SB54 and SB55 solder bridges.

• High-speed communication through a USB Micro-AB connector (CN14), USB high-speed PHY (U13) for
high-speed function
• Full-speed communication through another USB Micro-AB connector (CN16)
The Evaluation board can be powered by these USB connectors (CN14 or CN16) at 5 V DC with 500 mA current
limitation.
As several OTG1_FS signals are shared with the OTG1_HS ULPI bus and USART1, some PCB reworks are
needed when using OTG1_FS (CN16) as shown in Table 11.
Table 11. USB OTG1 and USART1 function configuration
Function Mount Remove
OTG1_HS-CN14 (default) R104, R105, SB27, SB30 R254, SB48, SB28, SB29
OTG1_FS-CN16 R254, SB48, SB28, SB29
SB47, SB49 R104, R105, SB27, SB30, SB46, SB51
USART1 (default) SB46, SB51 SB47, SB49
A USB power switch (U14) is also connected on VBUS and provides power to either CN14 (with SB27 and SB30
ON and SB28 and SB29 OFF) or CN16 (with SB28 and SB29 ON and SB27 and SB30 OFF).
Green LED LD5 (for CN14) or LD7 (for CN16) lights up in one of these cases:
• Power switch (U14) is ON and the STM32H7x7I-EVAL board works as a USB Host.
• VBUS is powered by another USB Host when the STM32H7x7I-EVAL board works as a USB Device.
The red LED LD6 lights up when an overcurrent occurs (IVBUS > 500 mA).
Note: The STM32H7x7I-EVAL board should be powered by an external power supply when using the OTG function.
6.10 USB OTG2_FS
The STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board supports USB OTG2 full-speed communication through a USB Micro-
AB connector (CN18) and USB power switch (U18) connected to VBUS. The Evaluation board can be powered by
this USB connection at 5 V DC at a current up to 500 mA.
A green LED (LD10) lights up if either one of the following events occurs:
• Power switch (U18) is ON and the STM32H7x7I-EVAL board works as a USB Host.
• VBUS is powered by another USB HostUSB Device when the STM32H7x7I-EVAL board works as a USB
Device.
The red LED (LD8) lights up when an overcurrent occurs (IVBUS > 500 mA).
Note: The STM32H7x7I-EVAL board must be powered by an external power supply when using the OTG function.
Note: JP2 and SB50 must be removed when using USB OTG_FS as mentioned in Table 13. CAN-related jumpers and
solder bridges.
6.11 RS-232
Communication through RS-232 is supported by the D-type, 9-pin connector CN2, which is connected to the
USART1 of the STM32H7x7XI on the STM32H7x7I-EVALEvaluation board. The signals Bootloader_RESET and
Bootloader_BOOT0 are added on the RS-232 connector CN2 for ISP support.
The USART1 of the STM32H7x7XI is shared with the RS-232 of the STLINK-V3E controller. Connection is
switched by setting JP7 and JP8.

6.12 microSD™ card
The 8-Gbyte (or more) microSD™ card connected to the SDIO 3.0 port of the STM32H7x7XI microcontroller is
available on the Evaluation board. The detection of the microSD™ card is managed by MFX GPIO15.
IP4856CX25/C (M1) is an SD 3.0-compliant, 6-bit-bidirectional, dual-voltage-level translator. It is implemented on
the STM32H7x7I-EVAL board and it supports SD 3.0, SDR104, SDR50, DDR50, SDR25, SDR12, and SD 2.0 in
high-speed (50 MHz) and default-speed (25 MHz) modes.
6.13 External I2C connector
The I2C1 bus of the STM32H7x7XI is connected to CN4 on the STM32H7x7I-EVAL. The I2C functional
daughterboard can be mounted on the CN4 connector and accessed by the microcontroller through the I2C1
bus.
6.14 CAN FD
The STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board supports one channel of the Flexible Data Rate CAN (CAN FD)
communication bus, based on the 3.3 V CAN transceiver.
The standby signal on the CAN FD transceiver is controlled by PD3 of the STM32H7x7XI. Other CAN FD signals
are shared with USB OTG1_FS signals.

6.15 Ethernet
The STM32H7x7I-EVAL Evaluation board supports 10M/100M Ethernet communication by a PHY LAN8742A
(U5) and integrated RJ45 connector (CN1). Ethernet PHY is connected to STM32H7x7XI through the RMII
interface.

6.16 Memories
An 8M×32-bit SDRAM is connected to the SDRAM bank1 of the FMC interface of the STM32H7x7XI
microcontroller.
A 1M×16-bit SRAM is connected to the NOR/PSRAM2 bank1 of the FMC interface and both 8-bit and 16-bit
accesses are allowed by BLN0 and BLN1, connected to BLE and BHE of SRAM respectively.
A 128-Mbit NOR flash memory is connected to the NOR/PSRAM1 bank1 of the FMC interface. The 16-bit
operation mode is selected by the pull-up resistor connected to the BYTE pin of NOR flash memory. The write
protection can be enabled or disabled, depending on how the jumper JP13 is set, as showed in the table below.
Table 15. NOR flash memory related jumpers
Jumper Description
JP13 Write protection is enabled when JP13 is ON while write protection is disabled when JP13 is OFF.
Default setting: OFF
All signals for memory are also connected on memory connectors CN11 and CN12 for memory daughterboards.
Limitations can happen when using other peripherals:
1. FMC addressing limitation depending on number of trace data bus used (A18 max for 4 bit ETM to A21 max
for 1 bit ETM)
2. FMC addresses limited to A18 when SAI used
3. FMC addresses limited to A22 when PDM is used
In such cases, serial resistors R236 (A19), R231 (A20), R217 (A21) and R230 (A22) should be removed. Thus,
memory addresses A19 to A22 are not connected to FMC and they are pulled down on the board. Memories can
be addressed within a limited address range.
By default, all these serial resistors are soldered on the board. If A19 is required, it is necessary to configure the
(SAI_SDB) ADCDAT1 pin of the audio codec (U22) by software to be tri-state.
6.17 Twin Quad-SPI NOR flash memory
The Quad-SPI flash memory is implemented on the STM32H7x7XI microcontroller of the Evaluation board either
as one twin Quad-SPI NOR flash memory (1-Gbit (2×512 Mbytes)) memory or as two Quad-SPI NOR flash
memories (512 Mbytes).
The two dies in the twin Quad-SPI flash memory share the same clock and chip select signals of the
STM32H7x7XI microcontroller.
6.18 Analog input
The two-pin header CN5 and 10 kΩ potentiometer RV1 is connected to PA0_C of STM32H7x7XI as an analog
input. A low-pass filter can be implemented by replacing R11 and C7 with the right value of resistor and capacitor
as requested by the end-user application.
