# ZeroClaw on Nucleo-F401RE — Step-by-Step Guide
|
|
|
|
Run ZeroClaw on your Mac or Linux host. Connect a Nucleo-F401RE via USB. Control GPIO (LED, pins) via Telegram or CLI.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Get Board Info via Telegram (No Firmware Needed)
|
|
|
|
ZeroClaw can read chip info from the Nucleo over USB **without flashing any firmware**. Message your Telegram bot:
|
|
|
|
- *"What board info do I have?"*
|
|
- *"Board info"*
|
|
- *"What hardware is connected?"*
|
|
- *"Chip info"*
|
|
|
|
The agent uses the `hardware_board_info` tool to return chip name, architecture, and memory map. With the `probe` feature, it reads live data via USB/SWD; otherwise it returns static datasheet info.
|
|
|
|
**Config:** Add Nucleo to `config.toml` first (so the agent knows which board to query):
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[peripherals.boards]]
|
|
board = "nucleo-f401re"
|
|
transport = "serial"
|
|
path = "/dev/ttyACM0"
|
|
baud = 115200
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**CLI alternative:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo build --features hardware,probe
|
|
zeroclaw hardware info
|
|
zeroclaw hardware discover
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## What's Included (No Code Changes Needed)
|
|
|
|
ZeroClaw includes everything for Nucleo-F401RE:
|
|
|
|
| Component | Location | Purpose |
|
|
|-----------|----------|---------|
|
|
| Firmware | `firmware/zeroclaw-nucleo/` | Embassy Rust — USART2 (115200), gpio_read, gpio_write |
|
|
| Serial peripheral | `src/peripherals/serial.rs` | JSON-over-serial protocol (same as Arduino/ESP32) |
|
|
| Flash command | `zeroclaw peripheral flash-nucleo` | Builds firmware, flashes via probe-rs |
|
|
|
|
Protocol: newline-delimited JSON. Request: `{"id":"1","cmd":"gpio_write","args":{"pin":13,"value":1}}`. Response: `{"id":"1","ok":true,"result":"done"}`.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Nucleo-F401RE board
|
|
- USB cable (USB-A to Mini-USB; Nucleo has built-in ST-Link)
|
|
- For flashing: `cargo install probe-rs-tools --locked` (or use the [install script](https://probe.rs/docs/getting-started/installation/))
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 1: Flash Firmware
|
|
|
|
### 1.1 Connect Nucleo
|
|
|
|
1. Connect Nucleo to your Mac/Linux via USB.
|
|
2. The board appears as a USB device (ST-Link). No separate driver needed on modern systems.
|
|
|
|
### 1.2 Flash via ZeroClaw
|
|
|
|
From the zeroclaw repo root:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
zeroclaw peripheral flash-nucleo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This builds `firmware/zeroclaw-nucleo` and runs `probe-rs run --chip STM32F401RETx`. The firmware runs immediately after flashing.
|
|
|
|
### 1.3 Manual Flash (Alternative)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd firmware/zeroclaw-nucleo
|
|
cargo build --release --target thumbv7em-none-eabihf
|
|
probe-rs run --chip STM32F401RETx target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/release/zeroclaw-nucleo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 2: Find Serial Port
|
|
|
|
- **macOS:** `/dev/cu.usbmodem*` or `/dev/tty.usbmodem*` (e.g. `/dev/cu.usbmodem101`)
|
|
- **Linux:** `/dev/ttyACM0` (or check `dmesg` after plugging in)
|
|
|
|
USART2 (PA2/PA3) is bridged to the ST-Link's virtual COM port, so the host sees one serial device.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 3: Configure ZeroClaw
|
|
|
|
Add to `~/.zeroclaw/config.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[peripherals]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
|
|
[[peripherals.boards]]
|
|
board = "nucleo-f401re"
|
|
transport = "serial"
|
|
path = "/dev/cu.usbmodem101" # adjust to your port
|
|
baud = 115200
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 4: Run and Test
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
zeroclaw daemon --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use the agent directly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
zeroclaw agent --message "Turn on the LED on pin 13"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pin 13 = PA5 = User LED (LD2) on Nucleo-F401RE.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Summary: Commands
|
|
|
|
| Step | Command |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| 1 | Connect Nucleo via USB |
|
|
| 2 | `cargo install probe-rs --locked` |
|
|
| 3 | `zeroclaw peripheral flash-nucleo` |
|
|
| 4 | Add Nucleo to config.toml (path = your serial port) |
|
|
| 5 | `zeroclaw daemon` or `zeroclaw agent -m "Turn on LED"` |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
- **flash-nucleo unrecognized** — Build from repo: `cargo run --features hardware -- peripheral flash-nucleo`. The subcommand is only in the repo build, not in crates.io installs.
|
|
- **probe-rs not found** — `cargo install probe-rs-tools --locked` (the `probe-rs` crate is a library; the CLI is in `probe-rs-tools`)
|
|
- **No probe detected** — Ensure Nucleo is connected. Try another USB cable/port.
|
|
- **Serial port not found** — On Linux, add user to `dialout`: `sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER`, then log out/in.
|
|
- **GPIO commands ignored** — Check `path` in config matches your serial port. Run `zeroclaw peripheral list` to verify.
