ST NUCLEO-F746ZG STM32F746ZG Nucleo-144 Development Board

The ST NUCLEO-F746ZG is a Nucleo-144 development board based on the STM32F746ZGT6 Arm Cortex-M7 MCU running up to 216MHz. It features 1MB Flash, 320KB SRAM, onboard ST-LINK/V2-1, 10/100 Ethernet, USB OTG Full Speed, ST Zio/Arduino Uno V3 connectivity, and ST morpho expansion headers.

Description

The ST NUCLEO-F746ZG STM32F746ZG Nucleo-144 Development Board is a high-performance embedded development platform built around the STM32F746ZGT6 microcontroller. It is suitable for advanced STM32 applications involving networking, real-time control, signal processing, USB, industrial prototyping, and Cortex-M7 firmware development.

The onboard STM32F746ZGT6 uses a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7 core with FPU and operates at up to 216MHz. The MCU provides 1MB Flash memory and 320KB SRAM, together with additional instruction TCM and backup SRAM resources for demanding real-time applications. STMicroelectronics

The board includes an integrated ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer, allowing programming and debugging without requiring a separate external programmer. ST-LINK also supports USB mass-storage programming, Virtual COM Port, and debug connectivity. STMicroelectronics

For networking and peripheral development, the NUCLEO-F746ZG provides onboard 10/100 Ethernet, USB OTG Full Speed, ST Zio expansion connectivity including Arduino Uno V3-compatible headers, and ST morpho headers exposing a large number of STM32 I/O signals. STMicroelectronics

The actual Chip.pk stock is clearly labeled NUCLEO-F746ZG and uses the MB1137 Rev B board platform. The product box also identifies the commercial part number as NUCLEO-F746ZG.

ST currently classifies the NUCLEO-F746ZG board itself as Obsolete / Out of Production, while the underlying STM32F746ZG MCU remains an active ST product. This makes the board particularly relevant for existing STM32F746 projects, replacement needs, education, and legacy development environments. STMicroelectronics

Compatibility

The NUCLEO-F746ZG is designed for the STM32 development ecosystem and is suitable for use with STM32CubeIDE, STM32CubeMX, STM32CubeProgrammer, HAL, and LL libraries.

Its ST Zio connector includes Arduino Uno V3-style compatibility, allowing selected Arduino-format expansion boards to be mechanically connected where electrical and software compatibility is appropriate. The larger ST morpho headers provide additional access to STM32F746 GPIO and peripheral signals beyond the Arduino-style connector. STMicroelectronics

Because expansion boards can use different voltages, interfaces, and pin assignments, compatibility should be verified before connecting a specific shield or external module.
