Quickly create prototypes with any STM32 microcontroller

The STM32 Nucleo boards from ST Microelectronics are now available from Farnell element14. The affordable boards allow design engineers to try out new ideas and quickly create prototypes with any STM32 MCU, says the company. The STM32 Nucleo boards share Arduino connectors and ST Morpho headers, so they can easily be extended with a wide range of application related hardware add-ons. They also come with an integrated ST-Link debugger/programmer, so there is no need for an external probe. The boards work with a wide range of development environments including IAR EWARM, Keil MDK, mbed, GCC-based IDEs (Atollic TrueStudio). STM32 Nucleo users also have free access to the mbed online compiler, the mbed online C/C++ SDK and the developer community at mbed.org, allowing them to build a complete application in a matter of minutes, says the company.
