This project helps you verify the GPIO pins on the STM32F446RET6 microcontroller. It uses direct register access and does not rely on STM32CubeMX or HAL pin configuration layers. This makes it simple to understand and modify, even for those new to embedded systems.
Before you can use the project, you'll need a few things:
- Microcontroller: STM32F446RET6
- Development Board: Nucleo-64 or similar
- USB Cable: For connecting to your computer
- Software: A tool to upload the program (like ST-Link Utility or STM32CubeIDE)
To get the software, you’ll need to visit the Releases page. Click on the button below to access it:
- Visit the Releases Page: Click here to open the Releases page.
- Find the Latest Version: Look for the most recent version of the project.
- Download the File: Click on the link to download the release you want. This will usually be a zip or executable file.
- Unzip the File: If the file is zipped, unpack it using your file manager.
- Upload to Your Microcontroller:
- Use ST-Link Utility or STM32CubeIDE.
- Select the program file you just downloaded.
- Click "Upload" to transfer the program to your STM32F446RET6.
After you successfully upload the program:
- Power on the Nucleo Board: Connect your Nucleo board to a power source.
- Observe the GPIO Pins: Use a multimeter or an oscilloscope to check the pin states based on the program’s output.
- Interpret Results: The program will test each pin, showing results in your chosen tool.
The program will provide results about which pins are functioning correctly. Familiarize yourself with the following terms:
- High State: The pin is working properly.
- Low State: The pin may need troubleshooting.
GPIO stands for General-Purpose Input/Output. It allows you to interface with other hardware in your projects.
