From the project
KiCad STM32F+Audio Codec PCB Design Project
This project is designed to interface STM32F405 with the audio codec WM8731. The board supports the development of audio applications.
I used STM32CubeMX software to configure STM32F405RGT6 MCU chip. The used connections are:

STM32F Audio Codec: common questions
What microcontroller does the STM32F Audio Codec use?
The STM32F Audio Codec is built around the STM32F405RGTx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the STM32F Audio Codec PCB?
The STM32F Audio Codec measures 61.2 × 44.1 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 3.16 mm thick.
How many components are on the STM32F Audio Codec?
58 components, from 36 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the STM32F Audio Codec design files?
From the Netrona/STM32F_Audio_Codec_pcb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the STM32F Audio Codec design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Netrona. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the STM32F Audio Codec without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
