2 Quick start
The STM32F3DISCOVERY is a low-cost and easy-to-use development kit to quickly
evaluate and start development with an STM32 F3 series microcontroller. Before installing
and using the product, please accept the Evaluation Product License Agreement from
www.st.com/stm32f3discovery. For more information on the STM32F3DISCOVERY and for
demonstration software, visit www.st.com/stm32f3discovery.
2.1 Getting started
Follow the sequence below to configure the STM32F3DISCOVERY board and launch the
DISCOVER application:
1. Check the jumper positions on the board, JP3 on, CN4 on (DISCOVERY selected).
2. Connect the STM32F3DISCOVERY board to a PC with a USB cable type A to mini-B
through the USB ST-LINK or USB USER connector to power the board. The red LEDs
LD1 (PWR) and LD2 (COM) light up.
3. The eight LED indicators blink sequentially.
4. Press the USER button to enable the MEMS gyroscope sensor.
5. Observe how the blinking of the LEDs indicates the gyroscope movements.
6. Press the USER button again to enable the MEMS e-compass sensor.
7. Keep the board in a horizontal position. One of the eight LEDs lights up to indicate the
direction of the north.

4.2 Embedded ST-LINK/V2
The ST-LINK/V2 programming and debugging tool is integrated on the
STM32F3DISCOVERY. The embedded ST-LINK/V2 can be used in two different ways
according to the jumper states (Table 3).
Program/debug the MCU on board,
Program/debug an MCU in an external application board using a cable connected to
SWD connector CN3.
The embedded ST-LINK/V2 supports only SWD for STM32 devices. For information about
debugging and programming features, refer to user manual UM1075 (ST-LINK/V2 in-circuit
debugger/programmer for STM8 and STM32) which describes in detail all the ST-LINK/V2
features.
Figure 7. Typical configuration

4.2.1 Using ST-LINK/V2 to program/debug the STM32F303VCT6 on board
To program the STM32F303VCT6 MCU on the board, simply plug in the two jumpers on
CN4, as shown in Figure 8 in red, but do not use the CN3 connector as that could disturb
communication with the STM32F303VCT6 of the STM32F3DISCOVERY.
Table 3. Jumper states
Jumper state Description
Both CN4 jumpers ON ST-LINK/V2 functions enabled for on-board programming (default)

4.2.2 Using ST-LINK/V2 to program/debug an external STM32 application
It is very easy to use the ST-LINK/V2 to program the STM32 on an external application.
Simply remove the two jumpers from CN4 as shown in Figure 9, and connect your
application to the CN3 debug connector according to Table 4.
Note: SB7 must be OFF if you use the CN3 pin 5 in your external application.

The power supply is provided either by the host PC through the USB cable, or by an external
5 V power supply.
The D1 and D2 diodes protect the 5 V and 3 V pins from external power supplies.
5 V and 3 V can be used as output power supplies when another application board is
connected to pins P1 and P2. In this case, the 5 V and 3 V pins deliver a 5 V or 3 V
power supply and power consumption must be lower than 100 mA.
5 V and 3 V can also be used as input power supplies, for example when the USB
connectors are not connected to the PC. In this case, the STM32F3DISCOVERY board
must be powered by a power supply unit or by auxiliary equipment complying with
standard EN-60950-1: 2006+A11/2009, and must be safety extra low voltage (SELV)
with limited power capability.
Note: The board can be also powered through the USB USER connector and is protected by D4
and D5 diodes when both USBs are connected (in which case, the 5 V power is around 4.4
volts).
4.4 LEDs
LD1 PWR: red LED indicates that the board is powered.
LD2 COM: LD2 default status is red. LD2 turns to green to indicate that
communications are in progress between the PC and the ST-LINK/V2.
User LD3: red LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE9 of the STM32F303VCT6.
User LD4: blue LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE8 of the STM32F303VCT6.
User LD5: orange LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE10 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
User LD6: green LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE15 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
User LD7: green LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE11 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
User LD8: orange LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE14 of the
STM32F303VCT6.
User LD9: blue LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE12 of the STM32F303VCT6.
User LD10: red LED is a user LED connected to the I/O PE13 of the STM32F303VCT6.
4.5 Pushbuttons
B1 USER: user and wake-up button connected to the I/O PA0 of the STM32F303VCT6.
B2 RESET: pushbutton connected to NRST is used to RESET the STM32F303VCT6.

4.6 USB device supported
The STM32F303VCT6 MCU is also used to drive the second USB mini-B connector (USB
USER) which allows the board to be used as a USB Device. The STM32F3DISCOVERY
can then act as a USB joystick, mouse, or other similar device. If both USBs are connected,
diodes D4 and D5 protect the board and use the power from the USB ST-LINK.
The board can be powered through this USB USER connector, then LED1 PWR lights,
LED2 COM blinks and it can run an application in standalone mode.
4.7 E-compass/accelerometer MEMS (ST MEMS LSM303DLHC)
The LSM303DLHC is an ultra-compact low-power system-in-package featuring a 3D digital
linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. It includes a sensing element
and an IC interface able to provide the measured acceleration to the external world through
I2C serial interface.
The LSM303DLHC has dynamically user-selectable full scales of 2g/8g and is capable of
measuring acceleration, and a magnetic field full scale from 1.3g to 8.1g with an output
data rate of 100 Hz or 400 Hz.
The STM32F303VCT6 MCU controls this motion sensor through the I2C interface.
4.8 Gyroscope MEMS (ST MEMS L3GD20)
The L3GD20 is an ultra-compact, low-power, three-axis angular rate sensor. It includes a
sensing element and an IC interface able to provide the measured angular rate to the
external world through the I2C/SPI serial interface.
The L3GD20 has dynamically user-selectable full scales of 250 dps/500 dps/2000 dps
and is capable of measuring rates.
The STM32F303VCT6 MCU controls this motion sensor through the SPI interface.
4.9 JP3 (Idd)
Jumper JP3, labeled Idd, allows the consumption of the STM32F303VCT6 to be measured
by removing the jumper and connecting an ammeter.
Jumper on: STM32F303VCT6 is powered (default).
Jumper off: an ammeter must be connected to measure the STM32F303VCT6 current.
If there is no ammeter, the STM32F303VCT6 is not powered.
