STM32 ARM-Based MCUs Programming Tutorials Full Kit List
You can check the Full Course Kit on DeepBlueMbedded Storefront Powered by Amazon. Or alternatively, check the options listed here on this page for all parts needed in all STM32 tutorials series.
1. The Development Boards
You Can Go With Any of The Following 3 Options:
1-The Low-Cost Low-PinCount Boards
All the example code/LABs/projects in the course are going to be done using those boards below.
- Nucleo32-L432KC (ARM Cortex-M4 @ 80MHz) or (eBay)
- Blue Pill STM32-F103 (ARM Cortex-M3 @ 72MHz) or (eBay)
- ST-Link v2 Debugger or (eBay)
2-Medium Pin-Count Board
However, if you’re planning to do some specific kind of project, you may need a few extra hardware resources or pin count. So this board may be a good fit for you.
- Nucleo64-F446RE (ARM Cortex-M4 @ 180MHz) or (eBay)
- or this board:
- Nucleo64-F411RE (ARM Cortex-M4 @ 100MHz) or (eBay)
3-Large Pin-Count Board
Or at the extreme end, if you’re planning to do a project that requires onboard sensors, audio codec, or large pin count, maybe a discovery board will be the best fit for this purpose.
- STM32F4 Discovery Board (ARM Cortex-M4 @ 168MHz) or (eBay)
- or this one:
- Nucleo144-F767ZI (ARM Cortex-M7 @ 216MHz) or (eBay)
The catch is: all of these boards, except for the small low-cost blue pill, have onboard ST-Link v2 ARM MCU that enables you to program/debug your target MCU exactly in the same manner across all of these boards. And configuring the hardware peripherals will also be a similar process. You can’t go wrong with any of these options! Just pick what fits your needs and there will be no problem at all in implementing the LABs of this course.
We’ll be developing reusable drivers for different hardware interfaces and the code should run on any STM32 target microcontroller as you’ll see while you’re progressing through the tutorials.
