Section Intro0:28
Download and Install STM32CubeMx IDE10:09
Installation

All OS's
Download and install the version 1.8.5 of the Arduino IDE from here.
Run the IDE, and on the Tools menu, select the Boards manager, and install the Arduino SAM boards (Cortex-M3) from the list of available boards. You must do this step, it installs the arm-none-eabi-g++ toolchain!
Download zip file containing the STM32 files from here.
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32/archive/master.zip
Unzip to create the Arduino_STM32 folder.
Windows
Copy the Arduino_STM32 folder to My Documents/Arduino/hardware (Note: if the hardware folder doesn't exist you will need to create it).
If using Maple or Maple mini, you need to install drivers for the Serial and DFU (upload devices). Please open a cmd window (run as administrator), navigate to the folder: /drivers/win/ and run: install_drivers.bat. Note: This doesn't actually install drivers. Windows comes pre-installed with a compatible Serial USB driver and a DFU (upload) driver. However the built in drivers need to be associated with the USB ID of the Maple serial and DFU devices. The batch file and wdi-simple.exe do the clever stuff to convince Windows 7 or newer, that it should use its drivers with the Maple serial and DFU devices.
Re-start the Arduino IDE, and select the appropriate board from the "Tools" -> "Board menu", and select the appropriate Com port for your Maple mini or serial upload device. Note: If you do not see a Maple Serial com device, this is probably because the Maple mini has not been loaded with the blink sketch. So upload a the Maple mini blink sketch from examples\Digital\Blink and the Maple serial device should now be available on the Port menu.
Linux
Copy the Arduino_STM32 folder to the hardware folder in your Arduino sketches folder. If the hardware folder does not exist, please create one.
Run the udev rules installation script in tools/linux/install.sh.
Note. If you are uploading via USB to Serial or STLink etc, you may need to set the relevant permissions for your specific upload device in order to be able to use it from within the Arduino IDE. You may also need to change the udev rules for the device in question.
Mac OSX
Arduino_STM32 folder must be placed inside ~/Documents/Arduino/hardware (Note: if the hardware folder doesn't exist you will need to create it).
So you should get ~/Documents/Arduino/hardware/Arduino_STM32.
Note: DFU util binaries have now been added to the repo, in tools/macosx/dfu-util, so there is no longer a need to install Homebrew to then install dfu-util, or to compile dfu-util from source.
You may still need to install libusb, see: https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32/issues/256.
Download and Install Arduino IDE9:23
Download and install the Arduino IDE from the official site, select your OS, and start with setup and loop, verify, upload, and a blinking led example.
Configure Arduino IDE to Program STM32 Boards8:04
Install and configure the stm32 core in the arduino ide by downloading the github library, adding it to the arduino hardware folder, and selecting the stm32 board, bootloader, and port.
Summary0:11
Reading Material0:10

Section Intro0:44
STM32 ARM Naming4:14
Learn how stm32 naming works, read the device family, pin count, flash memory size, and packaging and temperature codes to identify the mcu and its registers.
STM32 Pinout4:32
Explore the stm32 pinout for lqfp packages, including 64-pin and 100-pin variants, identifying ports and power pins. Learn how input/output and peripherals connect to the main MCU via a bus.
Understanding STM32 Naming Conventions and Pinout Configurations

Reading Material0:08

Section Intro0:53
Some of the GPIO Registers in STM325:32
Discover STM32 gpio registers, including moder, otyper, ospeedr, pupdr, idr, odr, and bsrr, and learn how they set direction, speed, pull-up and pull-down resistors, and data bits.
Control Registers in STM3213:00
Explore stm32 gpio control registers, covering mode, output type, speed, pull-up and pull-down, and input and output data registers, plus 32-bit alternative function selection for per-pin config.

Practical Walkthrough showing the famous STM32 Development Board7:00
Explore the STM32 development board, its USB interface, power regulator, jumpers, and pin layout; learn to power, configure, and program it using an IDE and Cube and X.
Soldering Stm32 Pins7:01
Learn how to solder STM32 pins to a board by correctly placing header pins, aligning twin sets, and soldering corners for a solid, connected board.
Connecting STM32 to PC via FTDI3:14
Discover how to connect STM32 to a PC using an FTDI USB-to-serial programmer, wiring 5 volt, ground, and PA9/PA10 pins for uploading the first code in the next lesson.
