Development and Programming
The board supports multiple development environments:
- STM32CubeIDE (official ST toolchain) [citation:10][citation:12]
- Arduino IDE via the STM32duino core [citation:8][citation:12]
- Keil MDK and IAR Embedded Workbench [citation:10][citation:12]
Programming Method: Use an ST-Link V2 programmer connected to the SWD interface. The USB port is for power only [citation:4][citation:8].
Use STM32CubeMX for easy peripheral configuration
For Arduino IDE, select the "STM32G0 Series" board package [citation:8]
Does NOT support direct USB programming like some other boards [citation:4]
Use an external programmer (ST-Link) for uploading code
Troubleshooting
Board not recognized:
- Use ST-Link V2 programmer for programming
- USB port is power only [citation:4][citation:8]
- Install STM32CubeProgrammer or STM32duino core
Firmware upload fails:
- Check SWD connections (SWCLK, SWDIO, GND)
- Ensure board is powered (USB connected)
- Avoid using USB-TTL adapters for programming
