STMicroelectronics has released entry-level, mid-range, and high-end development boards for the latest members of its STM32F7 microcontroller series, which are now entering volume production with up to 2Mbyte of on-chip Flash memory and peripherals that help create rich user interfaces.
Providing timely support for design starts, the new development tools include a low-cost STM32 Nucleo-144 board featuring the STM32F767 variant. Also available is a Discovery Kit supporting the STM32F769, which has TFT-LCD and MIPI®-DSI support. In addition, there are highly featured evaluation boards for the STM32F769 and the STM32F779, which has a cryptographic accelerator for security-conscious applications. The evaluation boards and Discovery Kit also come with a 4-inch QWVGA 800×400 MIPI-DSI display featuring a capacitive touchscreen.
Developers using the STM32F7 hardware platforms can take advantage of extensive software support that comprises the STM32CubeMX initialization tool and STM32CubeF7 embedded software package including Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and middleware components like the FreeRTOS real-time operating system, USB library, and lwIP (lightweight IP) open-source TCP/IP stack.
The STM32F7 ecosystem enables developers to create microcontroller applications with sophisticated user interfaces that formerly required the resources of a Microprocessor Unit (MPU).
