Supported Devices

The STM32F board supports several STM32F devices in the TQFP-64 package. Various solder jumpers need to bet set to either the "A" or "B" position to select appropriate VCC supply for the different series. The following table summarizes examples of suitable devices:

STM32F Series	Package	Device	Hardware AES	Tested	Jumper
F0	TQFP-64	STM32F071RBT6	No		B
F1	TQFP-64	STM32F100RBT6B	No		B
F2	TQFP-64	STM32F215RET6	Yes	Yes	A
F3	TQFP-64	STM32F303R8T6	Yes	No	B
F4	TQFP-64	STM32F415RGT6	Yes	Yes	A
F4	TQFP-64	STM32F405RGT6	No	Yes	A

VCC-Int Supply

Several devices (F2, F4) have internal core voltage regulators. By default the CW308 board attempts to provide power for these pins, but the voltage may not be high enough to cause the internal regulator to disable itself. In this case you can use the VADJ regulator to ensure the internal regulator is disabled. See Targets with Internal Regulators for details.

Pin-outs across TQFP Devices

The following shows differences in pinouts between three groups of devices. The left-most is the STM32F051RB, which uses the same 3.3V VCORE as the STM32F1/F3. It has fewer VCC pins, so the I/O occupying that are VCC/GND pins on the STM32F1 (such as PF6/PF7) are tied to GND/VCC. The right-most part is the pinout of the STM32F2/F4. It has an internal regulator, where the VCAP pins are the output of this regulator (and input to the internal core logic).

Note for the devices with a 3.3V VCORE, you should not mount decoupling capacitors C5/C6/C7/C8. You will still get some leakage with those capacitors mounted, but a stronger signal is present without them.

Hardware AES

The STM32F21x, and STM32F41x/43x have hardware crypto modules (AES, DES, TDES) along with hardware hash (SHA1, MD5).

Programming Connection

The 20-pin JTAG port (J6 on CW308 Board) can be used with the ST-LINK/V2 which is a low-cost JTAG programmer.

It is also possible to use other JTAG programmers such as OpenOCD. The following command worked with an Olimex OpenOCD programmer and their OpenOCD for Windows software:

openocd 
  -f path/to/board/files/cw308.cfg 
  -c init 
  -c targets 
  -c "halt" 
  -c "flash write_image erase path/to/firmware.hex"       
  -c "verify_image path/to/firmware.hex"        
  -c "reset run" 
  -c shutdown

where the contents of cw308.cfg are

source [find interface/olimex-arm-usb-ocd-h.cfg]
source [find target/stm32f4x.cfg]
reset_config srst_only
