STMicroelectronics B-F446E-96B01A STM32 microcontroller mezzanine board

Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics is now sampling an STM32 microcontroller mezzanine board for 96Boards Consumer Edition (CE) platforms that simplifies the development of smart mobile, embedded or digital-home devices. The B-F446E-96B01A simplifies development of context-aware functionality and integrates ST’s powerful and efficient STM32F446 microcontroller.

Arduino Uno and Seeedstudio Grove connectors simplify adding extra-function extensions using expansion boards or modules from either ecosystem. These include light sensors, humidity sensors, wireless communication interfaces, user interface devices and many others.

The 96Boards CE specification streamlines product development based on ARM Cortex-A processors and Linux operating systems by specifying a compact compute-board form factor, baseline I/Os such as Wi-Fi, BLE, USB, MicroSD and HDMI, and standardised connector positions. The specification also standardises low- and high-speed peripheral connectors to allow functional expansion by adding mezzanine boards.

Developers can work with the B-F446E-96B01A using the same ecosystem as ST’s STM32 Nucleo boards. This gives access to resources including the STM32CubeMX initialisation code generator, as well as application-code samples, software snippets and a hardware API. The mezzanine board comes with an embedded ST-Link debugger, which eliminates any need for a separate debug probe, and allows drag-and-drop Flash programming. It also enables direct access to ARM mbed online tools, allowing projects to start immediately without having to install any software.
