4. Configure GPIO Pins

1. Pinout Configuration:

   • Go to the Pinout & Configuration tab.

   • Assign GPIO pins to peripherals or configure them as input/output.

   • For example:

     • Set a pin as GPIO_Output to control an LED.

     • Set a pin as GPIO_Input to read a button.

2. Configure GPIO Settings:

   • Click on a pin and configure its mode (e.g., Output Push-Pull, Input Pull-Up).

   • Set the GPIO speed and pull-up/pull-down resistors as needed.

5. Configure Peripherals

1. UART/USART:

   • Enable the UART/USART peripheral.

   • Configure the baud rate, word length, parity, and stop bits.

   • Assign the TX and RX pins.

2. I2C:

   • Enable the I2C peripheral.

   • Configure the clock speed and addressing mode.

   • Assign the SDA and SCL pins.

3. SPI:

   • Enable the SPI peripheral.

   • For peripherals like UART, I2C, or timers, enable the corresponding interrupts in the NVIC Settings tab.

   • Set the priority for each interrupt.

2. GPIO Interrupts:

   • Configure a GPIO pin as an external interrupt.

   • Set the trigger condition (e.g., Rising Edge, Falling Edge).

---

7. Configure Power and Low-Power Modes

1. Power Configuration:

   • Go to the Power and Clock tab.

   • Configure the voltage scaling mode (e.g., Range 1 or Range 2).

2. Low-Power Modes:

   • Enable low-power modes (e.g., Sleep, Stop, or Standby) if needed.

---

8. Generate Code

1. Project Settings:

   • Go to the Project Manager tab.

   • Set the Project Name and Project Location.

   • Select the Toolchain/IDE (e.g., STM32CubeIDE, Keil MDK).

2. Code Generation Settings:

   • Under Code Generator, select Generate peripheral initialization as a pair of .c/.h files.

   • Check Generate HAL Library and Include all used peripherals.

3. Generate Code:

   • Click Generate Code to create the initialization code and project files.

9. Write Application Code

1. Open the Generated Project:

   • Open the generated project in your IDE (e.g., STM32CubeIDE, Keil MDK).

2. Add Application Code:

   • Write your application code in the main.c file or other appropriate files.

   • Example: Blink an LED using HAL:

     c

     复制

     while (1) {
         HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5); // Toggle PA5 (LED)
         HAL_Delay(500); // Delay 500 ms
     }

---

10. Build and Flash the Code

1. Build the Project:

   • Compile the project in your IDE.

2. Flash the Code:

   • Connect your STM32L071KZT6 board to your computer via ST-Link or another debugger.

   • Flash the code to the microcontroller.
