About

The NUCLEO-F031K6 is a STM32 Nucleo-32 Development Board with STM32F031K6 microcontroller provides a flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes with the STM32 microcontroller, choosing from the various combinations of performance, power consumption and features.

 

 

 

The Arduino™ nano connectivity makes it easy to expand the functionality of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a choice of specialized shields. The board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer and it comes with the STM32 comprehensive software HAL library, together with various packaged software examples, as well as direct access to the ARM®mbed™on-line resources.

  • Hi Mian,

     

    I'm not familiar with this board, but the complete schematics are available from the ST Nucleo website, click on 'Schematic Pack' and it is a PDF in the zip file.

    From here you can see any relevant signal that you're looking for, and see if it is brought out to a connector or not. If it isn't, then you could consider tacking a thin wire to the pin, or even lifting a pin. Hopefully you don't need to do that though.

  • Dear All and Dear Randall Scasny,

     

    Kindly guide about to route the  UART RX from VCP to any GPIO without removing the solder Jumpers.

    I want to interface small GPS card with Nucleo-301.

    Thanks

  • Hi Sabu,

     

    I just sent a replacement board to you. Please watch for that in the mail. Sorry for the trouble!

  • It appears you have done everything you could. I'll send a replacement.

     

    Randall

  • PCB / Chip is damaged and is not working

  • With these mbed boards, a separate microprocessor is used for the debug/programming interface. If it has failed, the second processor should continue to work (and will blink an LED [LD3] with the default program).

    If the LED LD3 is not blinking, then the most likely possibility is there is no power to the microprocessor, or that it is being held in reset (you can check this by examining if the NRST pin is being forced low, if this is the case the solder bridge SB9 can be used to disconnect it from the debug/programming microprocessor).

     

    If the entire board is not functioning then because the chances of both microprocessors failed on the board is near-zero, you will then know to focus on the USB cable and the power supply circuit.

     

    In summary the default program should still run if the debug/programming interface has failed. If the other processor has failed but the debug/programming interface is functioning then you should see USB devices appear on your PC.

     

    If both do not function then it is most likely the USB cable or connector, but you can use the schematic to trace out if you have power on the board, and if 3.3V is being supplied by U4 (the voltage regulator). If this is not functioning, the possibility exists for a troubleshooting and repair exercise using an external 3.3V regulator or bench supply maybe; this is just a suggestion/idea to un-block you if you're keen to get moving quickly.

  • The Chip is damaged and is not even powering up nor recognising on PC.

     

    Dear

    I am not able to proceed further.

  • This is strange. According to the schematic CN4 pin 4 should be connected directly to the power LED (and the USB power pin is connected just by a diode to this LED). Can you measure the voltage at this LED - maybe its defect? Can you measure the current drawn by the board (should be less than 100mA with SB1 on, and less than 300mA with SB1 off)?

  • Can you try with a different USB cable, and a different computer (or maybe just a USB power supply to see whether it powers up at all)? You can also apply 5V to pin 4 of the CN4 connector (turn SB1 off). Do not power by the 3.3V input on CN4 (because then you need to remove two solder bridges).
