STM32 development kits

25 July 2012 Design Automation

Premier Farnell has extended its relationship with ARM through the launch of the latest series of ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex–M4 processor-based STM32F2xx and STM32F4xx development kits.

The deal will see the kits shipped with Keil MDK-Lite development tools and the ULINK-ME debug adaptor. Developers will benefit from support by Premier Farnell’s ARM trained engineers, the element14 ARM development tools group and rich technical content, video support materials, and design examples on the Knode on element14.

The MCBSTM32F200 board features an STM32F207IG ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontroller which offers 1 MB Flash and 128 KB RAM on-chip memory, and the MCBSTM32F400 features an STM32F407IG Cortex-M4 based microcontroller with 1 MB Flash and 192 KB RAM on-chip memory.

In addition, both evaluation boards are populated with 8 MB NOR Flash, 512 MB NAND Flash, 2 MB SRAM, and 8 KB I²C EEPROM with an NFC interface. They provide a colour QVGA LCD and interfaces for SD card, CAN, 10/100 Ethernet and Full/High-speed USB. The boards also feature a 3-axis digital accelerometer, a 3-axis digital gyroscope, a digital microphone and a digital VGA camera.

Also featured are a dedicated audio PLL and two full-duplex I²S. The kits have up to 15 communication interfaces (including six USARTs running up to 10,5 Mbps, three SPI running up to 42 Mbps, three I²C, two CAN, SDIO). Analog functions include two 12-bit DACs, three 12-bit ADCs reaching 2,4 MSps or 7,2 MSps in interleaved mode. The boards have up to 17 timers, 16-bit and 32-bit running up to 120/168 MHz.
