√ TSSOP-20 footprint for compact PCB design
Development Setup
The board supports STM32CubeIDE, Keil MDK, and Arduino IDE via the STM32duino core. Programming requires an ST-Link V2 programmer connected via the SWD interface (SWCLK and SWDIO pins). For Arduino IDE, select "STM32F0 Series" board package.
Use STM32CubeMX for peripheral configuration
Connect through a USB-UART adapter for serial communication
Core voltage is 3.3V - do not apply 5V to GPIO
SWD pins are shared with GPIO - avoid conflicts
Troubleshooting
Firmware upload fails:
- Check SWD connections (SWCLK, SWDIO, GND, 3.3V)
- Ensure board is powered (3.3V via programmer or external)
- Verify correct target MCU selected (STM32F030F4P6)
- Check BOOT0 pin state for boot mode
Board not recognized:
- Install ST-Link or CH340 USB drivers
- Verify programmer connections
- Avoid using USB for programming (SWD only)
