# Release Notes for STM32F4xx-Nucleo Board Drivers

Copyright © 2017 STMicroelectronics

The BSP (Board Specific Package) drivers are parts of the STM32Cube package based on the HAL drivers and provide a set of high level APIs relative to the hardware components and features in the evaluation boards, discovery kits and nucleo boards coming with the STM32Cube package for a given STM32 serie.

The BSP drivers allow a quick access to the boards’ services using high level APIs and without any specific configuration as the link with the HAL and the external components is done in intrinsic within the drivers.

From project settings points of view, user has only to add the necessary driver’s files in the workspace and call the needed functions from examples. However some low level configuration functions are weak and can be overridden by the applications if user wants to change some BSP drivers default behavior.

## Update History

### V1.2.7 / 25-September-2017

Main Changes

- Add general description of BSP drivers
- Remove date & version

### V1.2.6 / 27-January-2017

Main Changes

- Replace __PPP_CLK_ENABLE/DISABLE with __HAL_RCC_PPP_ENABLE/DISABLE

### V1.2.5 / 06-May-2016

Main Changes

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.c

- BSP_JOY_GetState() alignment with HAL ADC driver V1.4.4

### V1.2.4 / 12-January-2016

Main Changes

- General updates to fix doxygen errors
- Add STM32F4-Nucleo_BSP_User_Manual.chm file
- Add use of UNUSED(data) in LCD_IO_WriteMultipleData() to fix "Unused variable" warning with SW4STM32

### V1.2.3 / 13-November-2015

Main Changes

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.c

- Add SD_IO_CSSState(), SD_IO_WriteReadData() and SD_IO_WriteReadData() APIs for proper support of the Adafruit shield V2.0.1
- Add new API for Button, LED and Joystick deinitialization: BSP_PB_DeInit(), BSP_LED_DeInit(), BSP_JOY_DeInit()
- Replace static APIs SPIx_Read(), SD_IO_ReadByte(), SD_IO_WriteCmd(), SD_IO_WaitResponse() and SD_IO_WriteDummy() by SD_IO_WriteReadData() API.

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.h

- Add new define "ADAFRUIT_TFT_JOY_SD_ID802" for the Adafruit TFT shield support.

### V1.2.2 / 14-August-2015

Main Changes

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.h

- Add alias to BUTTON_USER for backward compatibility.

### V1.2.1 / 02-March-2015

Main Changes

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.c/.h

- Align to STM32F4xx HAL Driver V1.3.0 for __HAL_RCC_PPP_CLK_ENABLE() .

### V1.2.0 / 26-December-2014

Main Changes

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.c

- Add LCD_IO_WriteMultipleData() LCD IO function, needed for ST7735 BSP component driver.

- Note: This driver version V1.2.0 needs ST7735 BSP component driver V1.1.0 and later.

### V1.1.1 / 10-December-2014

Main Changes

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.c

### V1.1.0 / 19-June-2014

Main Changes

- stm32f4xx_nucleo.c/.h

- Update driver to support LCD, joystick and microSD available on Adafruit 1.8" shield (reference ID 802) by adding the SPI and ADC IO link operations

- Enhance BSP_PB_Init() function by removing the call of __SYSCFG_CLK_ENABLE() already enabled in the HAL_GPIO_Init()

- Correct BSP_LED_Off() and BSP_LED_On() by inverting GPIO_PIN_RESET/ GPIO_PIN_SET values written on GPIO pins

- Comments clean up and typo corrections

### V1.0.0 / 18-February-2014

Main Changes

- First official release
