Power supply
The EVAL6474H-DISC board is designed to be powered via:
Connector J1: power of the motor and also motor control driver
USB connector J5: power of microcontroller and logic control
The USB cable supplies the digital part through a dedicated LDO (U1) providing 3.3 V.
The motor power must be set according the voltage required by the user motor.
Note:
Both the supply sources (USB connector and J1 connector) must be present to make
the board operative.

Device configuration
This section offers an overview of the basic configuration steps which are required to make
the demonstration board operative.
Warning:
4.1
Important - the device configuration is mandatory. The
default configuration is not operative.
Before changing the device configuration verify that the
device is in high impedance status (power stage is disabled).
Advanced current control
The following configuration gives good results with most of motors:

The impacts of the timing parameters are explained in the application note AN4158- “Peak
current control with automatic decay adjustment and predictive current control: basics and
setup”.
4.2
Overcurrent protection
The overcurrent protection detection is implemented by measuring the current flowing into
each integrated MOSFET.
The overcurrent protection threshold should be set just above the current rating of the
motor:
IOCDth > Imax,r.m.s. × √2
For example: if the maximum phase current of the motor is 2 Ar.m.s., the overcurrent
protection should be set to about 3 A.
Warning:
14/38
Important - it is strongly discouraged to disable the
overcurrent shutdown. It may result in critical failures.
DocID026392 Rev 2
UM1771
Device configuration
Figure 9. Overcurrent protection
4.3
Speed profile
The max. speed parameter is the maximum speed the motor will run. By default, it is about
1000 steps. That means, if you send a command to run at 2000 steps, the motor speed is
limited at 1000 steps.
This is an important safety feature in the final application, but not necessarily useful to
evaluate the device performances. Setting the parameter to high values (e.g. 6000 steps)
allows evaluating the maximum speed which can be achieved by the application under test
through the speed tracking command (Run), but it probably limits the possibility to use
positioning commands (“Move”, “GoTo”, etc.).
The “Full step” speed parameter indicates the speed at which the system switches from
microstepping to full step operation.

Firmware loading
This section describes how to load firmware into the board by using the DfuSe
demonstration software.
5.2.1
DfuSe installation
You need first to download the DfuSe demonstration software from www.st.com.
The DfuSe tool is referenced under the development suite STSW-STM32080.
Once downloaded, run the setup.exe file.
More details on the DfuSe are given in the UM0412 - “Getting started with DfuSe USB
device firmware upgrade STMicroelectronics extension” user manual.
5.2.2
Generate a DFU file from an HEX file
If the file you want to download to the discovery board is not a DFU file but an HEX file, you
will need first to convert it.
In this purpose,
Start the DFU file manager (V3.0.3 or greater) which has been installed with the DfuSe.
Choose “I want to GENERATE a DFU file from S19, HEX or BIN files”.

Using the EVAL6474H-DISC with the firmware for the GUI
(FWGUI)
By default the discovery board is loaded with the FWGUI. This firmware offers the capability
to connect the board with a GUI: the SPINFamily evaluation tool. This GUI provides direct
access to all L6474 registers and allows sending application commands.
Both the FWGUI and the GUI can be downloaded on the “Design Resources” page of the
L6474.
The FWGUI can be downloaded to the discovery board as detailed in Section 5.2.
The behavior of the GUI is detailed in the “Help.chm” file which is provided with the setup file
of the GUI.
5.3.1
Sanity check of the board with the firmware for the GUI (FWGUI)
At the startup of the FWGUI, a sanity check is performed to confirm the discovery board is
working correctly. The status is returned via the board LEDs.
To have a correct execution of the sanity check, please follow the steps below:
1.
Place a jumper on the BOOT pins (bottom left corner of the board):

Connect the board to a 5 V - 45 V DC power supply:
Figure 20. Starting board (motor power supply)
3.
Plug a USB cable (which must at least provide a power supply).
Figure 21. Starting board (USB connection)
4.

The board should switch on automatically.
DocID026392 Rev 2
UM1771
Programming section
5.
At this step:
a)
If a problem is detected, the “ready” LED (green) and the “error” LED (red) will
switch on without blinking. This means that:
- Either the board Id is not recognized by the FW (bad FW versions used).
- Or there is a problem with the SPI (no connection between the MCU and the
L6474 via the SPI).
- Or there is no 5 V - 45 V DC power supply.
Figure 22. Starting board (error case)
DocID026392 Rev 2
27/38

Programming section
b)
UM1771
If no problem is detected, the LEDs will start an infinite two-step loop:
- In the first step, the four LEDs will switch on one after the other by starting by the
green one and ending by the yellow one.
Figure 23. Starting board (board OK)
- In the second step, only the LEDs which correspond to the board ID are switched
on all at the same time. For the L6474 device, there are the green and red LEDs.

Please note that once you have connected the discovery board to the GUI, the LEDs
meaning is different. You then need to restart the board to perform a new auto-check and to
have a valid status from the LEDs.

FW L6474 library description
The FW L6474 library has the following features:
Register read, write and check
Register values conversion
Device configuration
Motion commands
FLAG interrupts management
Button interrupts management
“Daisy Chain” mode
The FW L6474 library has been tested on the L6474H Discovery board. The main program
contains a commented demonstration sequence which uses most of the FW L6474 library
supported features.

At the end of the demonstration sequence, the GPIO connected to LEFT and RIGHT
buttons are configured to trigger interrupts on the microcontroller:
On a LEFT button press, the microcontroller starts the motor which will accelerate up to
max. speed.
On a RIGHT button press, the microcontroller performs a soft stop of the motor.
Even if the “Daisy Chain” mode is supported in the L6474 FW library, the L6474 Discovery
board HW does not allow it. Please contact ST support if you want more information on the
“Daisy Chain” mode testing or implementation.
