This introductory project demonstrates LED blinking using the STM32G474VET6 microcontroller from ST’s high-performance G4 series. The design provides a clean starting point for learning STM32 development with CubeIDE and HAL, featuring a minimal schematic, ready-to-use firmware, and clear configuration of GPIO and clock tree. Built around the powerful ARM Cortex-M4 core, the project highlights the capabilities of the device while remaining simple, educational, and easy to reproduce for makers taking their f
The project is a practical embedded design based on the STM32G474VET6 microcontroller that demonstrates LED blinking using several firmware architectures: HAL, LL, FreeRTOS, and Bare-Metal. It is intended as a comparison platform for evaluating different STM32 development approaches on a single and easy-to-understand hardware setup. Three on-board triple LEDs are connected to GPIO ports PF2, PF9, and PF10, allowing visual feedback of independent tasks and timing behavior. The firmware examples show configuration of these ports, system clock initialization, and real-time scheduling with FreeRTOS beside lightweight HAL and low-level LL implementations. The design remains minimal, educational, and fully reproducible for makers and engineers starting with professional STM32 programming.
