Nucleo-H723ZG Mongoose Integration

This guide explains how to bring up a production-grade Web UI dashboard on the STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG development board.

Build, flash, and debug in VS Code

Connect the board's ST-LINK USB port. The tasks require CMake, Ninja, arm-none-eabi-gcc, and STM32_Programmer_CLI on PATH. Debugging uses the Cortex-Debug extension and its configured cortex-debug.stlinkPath, cortex-debug.stm32cubeprogrammer (the programmer's bin directory), cortex-debug.armToolchainPath, and cortex-debug.gdbPath settings.

  • Build: press Ctrl+Shift+B to configure and build the Debug preset.
  • Flash and run: choose Terminal > Run Task > Flash STM32 Debug. This builds the firmware, programs the ELF, verifies it, and resets the MCU.
  • Flash and debug: select NUCLEO-H723ZG: Flash and Debug (ST-Link) in Run and Debug, then press F5. This builds and programs the firmware and stops at main. Set breakpoints and press F5 to continue.
  • Attach: select NUCLEO-H723ZG: Attach (ST-Link) to inspect firmware already on the board. Use the matching build/Debug/nucleo-h723zg.elf for symbols; this configuration does not build or download firmware.

Stop an active debug session before running the flash task so the probe is free. The H723 Cortex-M7 uses debug access port 0 (-m 0 for the GDB server, ap=0 for CubeProgrammer). Selecting -m 1 causes the GDB server to fail with Failed to halt target. Programming connects under hardware reset.

A pre-configured, ready-to-run project zip is available for download at https://mongoose.ws.

To integrate the Web UI dashboard into an existing CubeMX project, or to create a new project from scratch:

  1. Configure the peripherals (described below).
  2. Regenerate your project code and integrate Mongoose core by following https://mongoose.ws/docs/guides/stm32-tcpip-stack/.
  3. Add the Web UI dashboard by following https://mongoose.ws/docs/guides/web-dashboard-guide/.

Configure peripherals

An .ioc file is included in this directory for your reference. It was created using the following steps:

  • Open CubeMX. If you are starting a new project, select the STM32H723ZG microcontroller and create a new project.
  • In Clock Configuration, set the maximum clock frequency to 550 MHz.
  • In the MCU pinout view, set pins PB0, PE1, and PB14 to GPIO_Output mode.
  • In Pinout & Configuration / Connectivity, enable USART3 in asynchronous mode. Configure pins PD8 and PD9 for USART.
  • In Pinout & Configuration / Connectivity, enable ETH in RMII mode and set pins PA1, PA2, PA7, PC1, PC4, PC5, PB13, PG11, and PG13 for Ethernet.
  • In the "Project Manager", set heap size to 0x10000, and stack size to 0x2000
