Guidance & Tutorial for STM32H7S78-DK Development Kit

[Bharathkumar]

Dear Team,

I recently purchased the STM32H7S78-DK development kit for evaluating and testing customization options with the STM32H7S7 series microcontroller.

Although I have referred to the user manual and datasheet, I am still facing difficulties operating the board independently. I am using an ST-Link V3 programmer, but I am unsure how to properly connect and program the board.

I kindly request complete guidance on the following:

1. Power connection method for the STM32H7S78-DK

2. ST-Link V3 connection procedure

3. Step-by-step instructions to flash firmware

4. Any official tutorials or video links for setup and programming

5. Any relevant documents or application notes

Please share any available resources to help me proceed with development and testing.

I have recently purchased the STM32H7S78-DK development board along with the ST-Link V3 debugger. I have also downloaded the datasheet and user manual for the board.

Please understand my situation clearly. I am new to this board and would appreciate clear and detailed instructions. Below are my questions

My Questions

1. How do I power on (turn on) the STM32H7S78-DK development board?

2. How do I start working with the development board?
   What are the initial steps to get started (hardware and software setup)?

3. How do I program this development board using the ST-Link V3?

   • The ST-Link V3 provides only SWD cable and solder pads.

   • How do I connect it to the USB Type-C connector on the board?

4. There are jumpers connected on the back side of the board.

   • What are they for?

   • What is the purpose of these jumpers?

5. How can I upload and test my own custom program on this board?

   • What is the full procedure for compiling, flashing, and verifying my code?

6. Is there any step-by-step video tutorial that covers everything from start to end?

   • For example

     • How to unbox

     • How to connect hardware

     • How to install drivers and IDE

     • How to program

     • How to debug

     • How to check if the program works

Final Request:

If you have any tested protocols or verified procedures, I would appreciate a step-by-step guide from scratch, including all necessary instructions and best practices.

Hello,

You need to refer to the documentation of the board first:

The user manual of the board: UM3289

The board schematics.

You can use The cube hal examples provided on this link

Also there is a MOOC - STM32H7RS demo workshop: watch these videos on Youtube.
