STM32 MCUs are not used on any +Arduino boards, so their restrictions aren't as widely known and less straight +forward compared to common Arduino compatible boards. There aren't any standard +pin mappings either. + +General considerations +====================== + +The STM32 port currently requires an 8 MHz crystal for correct operation. The +host communication only supports a standard UART. USB serial (CDC ACM) might be +useful for some configurations, but is unimplemented. The port is currently +designed for and tested with STM32F103xB series MCUs, but it should work with +any STM32F103 series MCUs with minimal changes. + +Unlike Arduino-based boards, typically there is no automatic reset on serial +connection with STM32 boards. Please use `restart_method: command` with the +STM32F1 port. + +Fixed pins +========== + +The UART used for communication with the host is fixed to pins PA9 (TX) and PA10 +(RX). SWD pins (PA13/PA14) are enabled for debugging and cannot be used for any +I/O. + +Digital I/O +=========== + +All pins that aren't part of the fixed set can be used for digital I/O. Pins are +referred to by their primary name, e.g. `PA1`. Do not try to use Arduino pin +aliases in your configuration. See ST's datasheets for more details. The +[STM32Duino](http://wiki.stm32duino.com/index.php?title=Blue_Pill) wiki has more +info on the popular "Blue Pill" board. + +Analog inputs +============= + +All ADC-capable pins can be used as analog inputs with the same naming as +digital I/O pins. Small packages MCUs (e.g. LFQP48) have 10 channels (PA0-PA7, +PB0-PB1), while larger package devices have 16 channels (PA0-PA7, PB0-PB1, +PC0-PC5). + +SPI +=== + +SPI support is currently unimplemented.
