Drag-and-drop flash programming available
Arduino Nano pins support connection to OS and other devices
High current output and multiple capture/compare channels provided

ST Microelectronics has newly launched a Nucleo32-based board that uses an 8-bit STM8 microcontroller (MCU).
The newly developed board can connect control and power via USB and features an integrated ST LINK debugger/programmer, eliminating the need for an external debug probe while also enabling simple drag-and-drop flash programming.

Arduino Nano pins allow users to easily expand functionality using commercial shields or connect with the open-source hardware community.

Additionally, major development tool chains including Cosmic CXSTM8 and IAR Embedded Workbench for STM8 are also supported.

The STM8 MCU provides abundant on-chip memory including a high-performance 8-bit core and up to 128Kbyte of flash, and features state-of-the-art peripherals that can be shared with the STM32 MCU product family, such as timers and analog peripherals, CAN2.0B, and digital interfaces.

STM8 MCUs are widely used in the development of smart sensors or actuator products where power, space, and cost constraints are significant.

The NUCLEO 8S207K8, an STM8 Nucleo32 board supplied for the first time by ST Microelectronics, includes a 32-pin STM8S207K8 MCU and provides features such as 12 high current outputs and multiple capture/compare channels.
