Hi all,

I'm trying to run some examples (ie. hello_world, blinky) from arm
branch on Nucleo-64 STM32F411RE, but have problem with verifying if it
works. What I tried:

In hello_world directory:
make BOARD=nucleo_f411re
make BOARD=nucleo_f411re flash

Board seem to flash correctly. I OpenOCD master branch compiled locally.

$ make BOARD=nucleo_f411re flash

make[2]: Entering directory '/path/to//src/zephyr-project/
samples/hello_world/outdir/nucleo_f411re'

IIUC from defconfig:
# enable USART2 - passthrough to STLINK v2 connector
CONFIG_UART_STM32_PORT_2=y
CONFIG_UART_STM32_PORT_2_BAUD_RATE=115200
# enable console on this port by default
CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE_ON_DEV_NAME="UART_2"

I should have output on UART exposed by STLINK, in my case /dev/ttyACM0
under
Debian Linux. Unfortunately no output. What more is needed to push printk
output to UART ?

I tried also to compile blinky example, but it fails during compilation. My
understanding is that defines used there were not provided for F411. disco
example compiles fine, but doesn't seem to blink with LED1 and LED2.

I also tried to use debugger to step through and see what happen but it
looks
like STM32 never hit main: https://gist.github.com/pietrushnic/

What is correct procedure to verify STM32 F411RE code ?
