Programming and Debugging
*************************

Flashing
========

STM32L496G Discovery board includes an ST-LINK/V2-1 embedded debug
tool interface.  This interface is supported by openocd version
v0.10.0, which has been available since Zephyr SDK v0.9.2.

Applications for the ``stm32l496g_disco`` board configuration can be
built and flashed in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application`
and :ref:`application_run` for more details).

Flashing an application to STM32L496G Discovery
-----------------------------------------------

Connect the STM32L496G Discovery to your host computer using the USB
port, then run a serial host program to connect with your Discovery
board. For example:

.. code-block:: console

   $ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Then, build and flash in the usual way. Here is an example for the
:ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: stm32l496g_disco
   :goals: build flash

You should see the following message on the console:

.. code-block:: console

   Hello World! arm

Debugging
=========

You can debug an application in the usual way.  Here is an example for the
:ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: stm32l496g_disco
   :maybe-skip-config:
   :goals: debug
