Hi everyone
Tryin’ to figure out how to load MicroPython on STM32F… board
I can use some help
Please advise
Hi @Jimphelps678,
According to MicroPython’s website, this build should work:
https://micropython.org/resources/firmware/STM32F429DISC-20200902-v1.13.dfu
What’s your board doing when you try to install that *.dfu file?
Regards,
I gave it a few shot but when I click on “choose” in the dfu demo; I don’t know which file should I browse?
Looking more into it, the F429 Disco can’t be flashed with dfu: (due to design of the USB ports)
You need to build the firmware.bin and copy that over:
Regards,
I watched this video on YouTube that gave me the idea of how to do it and I followed that up
Let me send you the link to that and perhaps you figure out and let me know
Just google stm32 MicroPython YouTube
Appreciate it
Thanks Robert,
Could you walk me through building the firmware and how to copy that and how to load it on board
Appreciate it
Jim
HI @Jimphelps678, just to clarify, which board do you have exactly? As the directions are for specific boards…
For example: THe STM32F429-DISC1: https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/32f429idiscovery.html#overview
What OS are you building with Ubuntu/Debian/WIndows/Mac??
So for Debian:
git clone https://github.com/micropython/micropython.git
cd ./micropython/mpy-cross
make
cd ../ports/stm32/
make BOARD=STM32F429DISC
If you have a DISC1, you can also issue:
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary build-STM32F429DISC/firmware.elf build-STM32F429DISC/firmware.bin
And then copy the firmware.bin with the STLinkV2 mass storage device when you plug it into a development machine…
mpy-cross build would look like:
voodoo@hestia:~/micropython/mpy-cross$ make

Hello friends, is there any micropython build with TFT(LTDC) support for STM32F429DISC.
