ARM-CM7 STM32 Nucleo-H743ZI Keil MDK

Supported firmware update interfaces

RS232 CAN USB TCP/IP SD-card Modbus RTU
Yes Yes Yes Yes No No

Development Environment

This demo is targeted towards the Nucleo-H743ZI board, with 2 MB internal Flash EEPROM and 1 MB internal RAM.

To compile the demo programs you can use the Keil MDK development environment.

To program the bootloader into the internal flash, the on-board ST-Link debugger interface was used. Firmware updates via the serial communication port are preconfigured to use the virtual COM-port offered by the ST-Link. This means that no additional hardware is needed, besides a standard micro-USB cable.

Building and programming the Bootloader

Before the bootloader can be used, it needs to be built and programmed into the STM32H743's internal flash memory. The steps in this section only need to be done once.

When using Keil MDK, simply open the project from within uVision. The project file (stm32h743.uvprojx) is located at: \Target\Demo\ARMCM7_STM32H7_Nucleo_H743ZI_Keil\Boot\ide\. Once opened, select Project→Rebuild all target files from the menu to compile all the bootloader sources and link the together into the final executable.

The bootloader program is now ready to be programmed into the internal flash memory of the STM32H743. Using your favorite programmer, flash the bootloader using the following file:

  • \Target\Demo\ARMCM7_STM32H7_Nucleo_H743ZI_Keil\Boot\bin\openblt_stm32h743.axf

Building the Demo Program

When using Keil MDK, simply open the project from within uVision. The project file (stm32h743.uvprojx) is located at: \Target\Demo\ARMCM7_STM32H7_Nucleo_H743ZI_Keil\Prog\ide\. Once opened, select Project→Rebuild all target files from the menu to compile all the demo program sources and link the together into the final executable.

The output file is

  • \Target\Demo\ARMCM7_STM32H7_Nucleo_H743ZI_Keil\Prog\bin\demoprog_stm32h743.srec

Firmware update procedure

To download the demo program \Target\Demo\ARMCM7_STM32H7_Nucleo_H743ZI_Keil\Prog\bin\demoprog_stm32h743.srec using the bootloader, follow the instructions in the following links, depending on the communication interface you intend to use:
