STM32 Nucleo

STM32 Nucleo F767ZI demo board can be used with LogicLab Automation Suite.

All informations about Nucleo F767ZI target board and ST software are available on STMicroelectronics website [1]

How to start

1) Download Axel Automation Suite

2) Install Axel Automation Suite

3) Start LogicLab and create new Nucleo project

4) From the main target page open user manual

5) See user manual chapter 3 - Firmware Upgrade to configure Nucleo target board with Axel Nucleo firmware

6) See user manual chapter 1 - Quickstart to connect to target device via USB-Serial or Ehernet

7) Once connected to target, enter product key provided by Axel in main target page

8) Nucleo is now ready for LogicLab

User plugins and firmware development

Nucleo firmware source can be provided by Axel only by explicit request.

If request is accepted Axel will provide firmware sources and guidelines for development.

Nucleo firmware has been developed using STM32CubeIDE.

See Nucleo versions for the STM32CubeIDE version used for development.
