# Tutorial: arduino-stm32 Installation

### Overview

In this tutorial, you will use arduino IDE compiler to handle several peripherals of MCU (ARM-Cortex M4). Using the given platform, you will perform some tasks about GPIO, timer and interrupt.

The objectives of this lab are

* Connect STM32F (MCU board) to arduino IDE.
* Understand digital in/out peripheral in MCU.
* Understand timer and interrupt function of MCU.
* Handle GPIO, timer and interrupt using arduino library.

### **Hardware Setting**

#### Install ST-Link Driver

[Option 1: Download **en.stsw-link009\_v2.0.2.zip** from github](https://github.com/ykkimhgu/EC-student/blob/main/tutorial/\(ST-Link\)en.stsw-link009_v2.0.2.zip)

[Option 2: Download driver (STSW-LINK009) from ST website](https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link009.html)

> ST-LINK, ST-LINK/V2, ST-LINK/V2-1, STLINK-V3 USB driver signed for Windows10. This USB driver (STSW-LINK009) is for ST-LINK/V2, ST-LINK/V2-1 and STLINK-V3 boards(STM8/STM32 discovery boards, STM8/STM32 evaluation boards and STM32 Nucleo boards).
>
> It declares to the system the USB interfaces possibly provided by the ST-LINK: ST Debug, Virtual COM port and ST Bridge interfaces. **The driver must be installed prior to connecting the device, in order to have a successful enumeration.**

After you download "**en.stsw-link009\_v2.0.2.zip**", unzip the file.

Connect MCU board to PC with USB cable.

Update the usb driver: 윈도우 **장치 관리자 > 범용직렬버스장치> ST-Link Debug >드라이버 업데이트>**

* Select the folder where en-stsw-link009 is unzipped

{% hint style="info" %}
MCU board (STM32F411) must be connected to your PC to install the USB driver
{% endhint %}

#### Connect STM32F401RE through USB port

Check the port number and settings in "device manager".

* baudrate: 9600
* data bits: 8
* parity: None
* Stop bit: 1
* Flow control: None

### Example - Blink

There is a simple example, that LED blinks every 1 sec.

On menu bar of Arduino IDE, select **File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink**

Then, new window will be opened. If you click **upload** button, the example code will be loaded on the MCU.

> If the program is loaded successfully then LED(LD1) will be green light.

### Troubleshooting Upload Issues

#### Step 1: Download & Install STM32CubeProgrammer 📥

Go to the Download Page: Visit the official [STM32CubeProg download page](https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html).

Get the Software: Click "Get Software" to download the latest version. You may need to create a free ST account.

Install It: Run the downloaded installer. The default settings are fine, so just click through the installation. The tool will typically be installed at: C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer

#### Step 2: Set Up the Environment Path 🗺️

This step tells your computer where to find the program.

Open Environment Variables: In the Windows search bar, type "Edit the system environment variables" and open it.

Click "Environment Variables...": A new window will open.

Edit the Path: In the "System variables" section, find and double-click on the Path variable.

Add the New Path: Click New and add the path to the bin folder from your installation. It should look like this: C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin

Confirm: Click OK on all windows to close and save the changes.

#### Step 3: Configure Arduino IDE & Upload 🔄

Restart Arduino IDE: This is very important! Completely close and reopen the Arduino IDE for the new settings to take effect.

Set the Upload Method: In the Arduino IDE, go to the Tools menu.

Board: Make sure your Nucleo-F411RE is selected.

Upload Method: Click on this and select STM32CubeProgrammer (SWD).

Upload Your Sketch: Try uploading your code again. It should now work perfectly!
