96Boards Argonkey (STEVAL-MKI187V1)

Hardware

Platform ST STM32: The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash MCUs based on the ARM Cortex-M processor is designed to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. It offers a 32-bit product range that combines very high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, and low-power, low-voltage operation, while maintaining full integration and ease of development.

Configuration

Please use b96b_argonkey ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:b96b_argonkey]
platform = ststm32
board = b96b_argonkey

You can override default 96Boards Argonkey (STEVAL-MKI187V1) settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest b96b_argonkey.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:b96b_argonkey]
platform = ststm32
board = b96b_argonkey

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = stm32f412cg

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 100000000L

Uploading

96Boards Argonkey (STEVAL-MKI187V1) supports the next uploading protocols:

  • blackmagic

  • jlink

  • mbed

  • stlink

Default protocol is stlink

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:b96b_argonkey]
platform = ststm32
board = b96b_argonkey

upload_protocol = stlink

Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

96Boards Argonkey (STEVAL-MKI187V1) does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
