Programming(Upload Method):

B-L072Z-LRWAN1 - ST STM32L0 Discovery kit

STM32CubeProgrammer(SWD)

Will use onboard ST-Link(Flasher/Debugger) to upload sketch.
Download and Install required utility from ST here.

Arduino IDE:
Select Tools -> Upload Method -> STM32CubeProgrammer(SWD)

Catena 4610 - MCCI

DFU

Arduino IDE:
Select Tools -> Upload Method -> DFU

To put the board in DFU mode, hold down the boot button while pressing and releasing the reset button.

ST-Link

Arduino IDE:
Select Tools -> Upload Method -> STLink

Requires an ST-Link debugger connected to SWCLK, SWDIO, Vref, and GND, refer to pin mapping diagram.
