r-pv / stm32f030k6

Custom board for the STM32F30K6T6 MCU, compatible with STM32Duino (Arduino).

rSTM32F030K6 ProMini

An ST development board based on the rSTM32F030K6T6/rSTM32F030K6 (Clock: 48MHz, flash: 32Kb, Ram:4Kb) MCU (LQFP-32) compatible with STM32Duino (Arduino).

Install

Update: STCore v2.0 includes support for this MCU, if you're using STCore v2.0 you don't need to install anything.

• This requires the STM32 core for arduino, the ST original.
• I used this guide to add the board, you can check it or continue with my suggestions to install the new board.
• Copy the "DEMO_F030K6" folder to the Arduino "variants" folder, in win7 is located at: c:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\STM32\hardware\stm32\1.6.1\variants
• Edit the "boards.txt" file, in win7 is located at a lever up than the "variants" folder, search for the F030F4 board and add the lines to leave as I show you next:

Running some tests

Reducing the size of your sketch

For some reason it seems that the sketchs for this platform gets way too fat (relative to standard arduino-atmel sketch sizes) and on some cases won't fit well on our board, a way to fit the sketchs to the flash/ram size that this board has it's to create a file hal_conf_extra.h on the sketch folder and disabling all features that weren't using:

#define HAL_ADC_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_I2C_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_RTC_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_SPI_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_TIM_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_DAC_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_EXTI_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_ETH_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_SD_MODULE_DISABLED
#define HAL_QSPI_MODULE_DISABLED

(an arduino restart may be required on changes to this file).

Also, if you aren't using the serial you cand disable it on the arduino menu:

Board > U(S)ART Support > Disabled.

Notes

This it's the first board variant I made, so errors may occur.
