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


This guide is intended for STM32 Nucleo F767ZI demo board, with Axel runtime.
All informations about Nucleo F767ZI target board and ST software are available on STMicroelectronics website [https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/evaluation-tools/product-evaluation-tools/mcu-mpu-eval-tools/stm32-mcu-mpu-eval-tools/stm32-nucleo-boards/nucleo-f767zi.html]


== Quickstart ==
= How to start =


=== USB connection ===
1) Download [https://www.axelsoftware.it/en/download/ Axel Automation Suite]
It is possible to connect the Nucleo board via USB-Serial connection; just refer to the following steps:
* Connect USB cable into CN1 connector.
* Open LogicLab.
* Create new Nucleo_F767ZI project.
* Select from LogicLab main menu bar ''On-line'' -> ''Set up communication''.
* Select ''Modbus'' protocol, click on ''Activate'' button and then on ''Properties'' button, the settings dialog will appear; configure it as shown in the image below:


[[File:Nucleo-USBConnection1.jpg]]
2) Install Axel Automation Suite


* Click ''Ok''
3) Start LogicLab and create new Nucleo project (available for Nucleo F767ZI and F207ZG demo board)
* Now from the main menu bar, choose ''On-line'' -> ''Connect''
* Now, in the right-lower corner of the application window, you should see a green rectangle with the word ''CONNECTED'' written inside.


=== Ethernet connection ===
  [[File:NewNucleoProject.jpg]]
It is possible to connect the Nucleo board via Ethernet; just refer to the following steps:
* Connect to Ethernet LAN plugging cable into CN14 connector.
* Open LogicLab
* Click ''Scan Network…'' button
* If Nucleo board is recognized, you should see this results table:


[[File:Nucleo-EthScan.jpg]]
4) From the main target page open user manual


* By default, IP address is assigned by DHCP
  [[File:NucleoUserManual.jpg]]
* Click on the (+) button to automatically create a new nucleo project with the right communication settings


[[File:Nucleo-EthConfig.jpg]]
5) See user manual chapter ''3 - Firmware Upgrade'' to configure Nucleo target board with Axel Nucleo firmware


* From the main menu bar choose ''On-line'' -> ''Connect''
6) See user manual chapter ''1 - Quickstart'' to connect to target device via USB-Serial or Ehernet
* Now, in the right-lower corner of the application window, you should see a green rectangle with the word CONNECTED written inside.


==== Modify ethernet communication settings ====
7) Once connected to target, enter product key provided by Axel in main target page
If the IP address cannot be correctly assigned by DHCP, it is possible to manually configure a fixed IP address for the Nucleo board. See the following instruction:
* Connect USB cable into CN1 connector
* Open SoftTune
* Create new Nucleo_F767ZI project
* From the menu bar choose ''Target'' -> ''Communication settings''
* Select ''Modbus'' protocol, then click on ''Activate'' and then click on ''Properties''
* Configure the Modbus setting as shown in the following image (specify the USB virtual COM port as recognized by your system):


[[File:Nucleo-USBConnection1.jpg]]
  [[File:NucleoLicense.jpg]]


* Click OK
8) Nucleo is now ready for LogicLab
* Click on the connection Icon
* In the bottom-right corner of the application window, you should see a green rectangle with ''CONNECTED'' written inside
* Inside the parameters tree, select ''All Parameters'' -> ''Communication'' -> '' Configure TCP IP address'', and specify the desired IP address (this should write the parameter inside the target)
* Save parameters and reboot (from the menu bar choose ''Target'' -> ''Save parameter'', then ''Target'' -> ''Device reboot''
* Connect LogicLab to target via Ethernet (see 1.2 Ethernet connection)
