Details about some LEDs:
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 LD3, LD4, LD6, LD7: some user LEDs are used to reflect the system activity, while the others are left free for use by the application, as explained in the LEDs and buttons on STM32 MPU boards article
- ↑ LD5: flashes red if the STLINK-V3E connection is not established, green otherwise
- ↑ LD2: turns red if a USB Type-A connection is established
- ↑ LD1: turns green if the power connection established
4. Board connection[edit source]
The connections shown in the picture below are the ones recommended to start with the STM32MP135x_DK Discovery kits. As shown in the board overview, other connectors are available for these boards (for example CSI-2).
[edit source]
The following table defines the different combination of the boot mode selection switches:
Boot mode | Boot 0 | Boot 1 | Boot 2 |
---|---|---|---|
Forced USB/UART boot for programming |
0 | 0 | 0 |
Engineering boot | 0 | 0 | 1 |
microSD™ card | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Not supported | Other codes |
Information |
'0' is considered when switch is pushed in the OPEN position. It is ‘1’ otherwise. |
6. GPIO mapping[edit source]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Warning: the I2C5 is used to communicate with several on-board peripherals but is also available on the GPIO expansion connector. So, it is important to ensure that new components added on the I2C5 connection do not disturb the bus behavior.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Warning: the I2C1 is used to communicate with several on-board peripherals but is also available on the GPIO expansion connector. So, it is important to ensure that new components added on the I2C1 connection will not disturb the bus behavior.
Information |
No SDMMCx function is available on the GPIO expansion compared to the usual GPIO expansion connector. |
6.2. User buttons and LEDs[edit source]
The GPIO assignments for the user buttons and LEDs are described in the following table. Refer to the article LEDs and buttons on STM32 MPU boards to get information on the functional mapping for each one.
LED color and label | Button label | GPIO |
---|---|---|
Green LD7 (*) | - | MCP_IO4 |
Red LD4 (*) | USER2 (*) | PA13 |
Orange LD6 | - | MCP_IO5 |
Blue LD3 | USER1 (*) | PA14 |
