ST Nucleo L496ZG-P

Hardware

Platform ST STM32: The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash MCUs based on the ARM Cortex-M processor is designed to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. It offers a 32-bit product range that combines very high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, and low-power, low-voltage operation, while maintaining full integration and ease of development.

Microcontroller	STM32L496ZGT6P
Frequency	80MHz
Flash	1MB
RAM	320KB
Vendor	ST

Configuration

Please use nucleo_l496zg_p ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:nucleo_l496zg_p]
platform = ststm32
board = nucleo_l496zg_p

You can override default ST Nucleo L496ZG-P settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest nucleo_l496zg_p.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:nucleo_l496zg_p]
platform = ststm32
board = nucleo_l496zg_p

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = stm32l496zgt6p

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 80000000L

Uploading

ST Nucleo L496ZG-P supports the following uploading protocols:

• blackmagic

• cmsis-dap

• jlink

• mbed

• stlink

Default protocol is stlink

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:nucleo_l496zg_p]
platform = ststm32
board = nucleo_l496zg_p

upload_protocol = stlink

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

ST Nucleo L496ZG-P has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
