Picture2 NUCLEO-64 I am very happy to receive the STM32L4R5 Nucleo-144 board sent by eeworld on New Year's Day (I silently thought that this is a New Year's Day gift from the forum ten times). After opening the layers of protective packaging, the naked board as shown in the picture above appeared in front of me. It still looks as simple and elegant as Nucleo-64 (in fact, some units have been added, such as the User_USB interface). NUCLEO-144 looks more elegant overall, and because it continues NUCLEO's consistent "short-circuit" style, it is quite flexible to use. To test different functions, you only need to use a 0Ω resistor to short-circuit the corresponding jumper or directly solder it. One of the more user-friendly aspects of NUCLEO product packaging is that, at the bottom of each package is a resource introduction (2MBytes of Flash...2MBytes of Flash...2MBytes of Flash; 640Kbytes of SRAM...640Kbytes of SRAM...640Kbytes of SRAM...; important resources are mentioned three times) ,The board we received this time is no exception.,The left side of the above picture has given a brief description of the resources of the board.,After disassembling the development board, I found that the part covered by the development board was the pin distribution diagram of the board.,In this way, when developing, you don’t need to turn the board over again, you can just look at this picture.:

At the same time, turn the paper over, and the back also explains the brief process of starting to use the development board and the resource reference website,It can be said that it can basically allow people with a certain embedded foundation to "foolishly" start learning or using it.
Figure4 Instructions for use of the development board
As far as I can remember, all the previous NUCLEO development boards used the Mini-USB interface. Although it is very convenient now, all the smart phones (Android) now use the Micro-USB interface. And the NUCLEO development board is not equipped with a USB cable.So users have to prepare their own Mini-USB cables. This change seems to be in line with the expectations of most "ordinary young people" - I have an Android phone data cable, and my development board must have a Micro-USB interface. And the selection of Micro-USB materials is also very particular, showing the differences in details among major manufacturers.

3. Simple power-on test
For those who have used NUCLEO development boards before, this is not difficult. You only need to install the corresponding driver (ST-Link V2-1 driver) is enough. At the same time, if you want to use the virtual serial interface, it is best to install the virtual serial driver in advance. Then you only need an Android mobile phone data cable to connect the development board to your computer for program download and simulation. The project development using NUCLEO-144 will be described in detail in the following posts (including the test of the low power consumption part). Here we will only perform a simple power-on test. The board has a flashing light program by default. After connecting with the Android data cable, the status of the entire development board is as follows:
Thank you eworld again for allowing me to complete the first step of the plan on New Year's Day. This year I will be tossed by MCU again
; Now I have completed the first step of the plan when applying, and the subsequent project development and testing plan will be completed in about 3 weeks. Thank you
