STMicroelectronics STM32F7 microcontrollers and development boards

Click2Contact

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 2 MB of on-chip Flash memory and peripherals that help create rich user interfaces.

Providing timely support for design starts, the development tools include an 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 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″ QWVGA 800x400 MIPI-DSI display featuring a capacitive touch screen.

Developers using the STM32F7 hardware platforms can take advantage of extensive software support that comprises the STM32CubeMX initialisation 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). The MCU devices, which are based on the 216 MHz/462DMIPS/1082 CoreMark ARM Cortex-M7 core with double-precision floating-point unit and DSP instructions, combine enhanced graphics capabilities with extensive connectivity.
