Three Development Boards Announced at Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Levels
On-chip Flash Memory up to 2Mb, Equipped with Diverse Peripherals

STMicroelectronics (ST) has launched three development boards at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels based on the latest products in the STM32F7 series. This series, currently in mass production, features up to 2 megabytes of on-chip flash memory and is equipped with peripherals that support rich user interface development.

All three development tools introduced this time provide necessary support from the start of design, including the cost-effective STM32 Nucleo-144 NUCLEO-F767ZI equipped with STM32F767, the STM32F769-based Discovery Kit STM32F769I-DISCO with TFT-LCD and MIPI®-DSI support, and as evaluation boards, the high-performance STM32F769I-EVAL equipped with STM32F769 and the STM32F779I-EVAL equipped with STM32F779 featuring a cryptography accelerator for applications where security is critical. The evaluation boards and Discovery Kit are also equipped with a 4-inch QWVGA 800x400 MIPI-DSI display with a capacitive touch screen.

If you are using the STM32F7 hardware platform, you can receive extensive software support. There is the STM32CubeMX initialization tool and the STM32CubeF7 embedded software package, which includes a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) along with middleware components such as the FreeRTOS real-time operating system, USB library, and lwIP (lightweight IP) open-source TCP/IP stack.

With the STM32F7 ecosystem, it is now possible to develop microcontroller applications with complex user interfaces that previously required the use of an MPU (Microprocessor Unit). This MCU device is based on a 216MHz/462DMIPS/1082 CoreMark® ARM® Cortex®-M7 core that provides a floating-point unit with twice the precision and DSP instructions, and also features enhanced graphics performance and extensive connectivity capabilities.

The STM32F769I-EVAL and STM32F779I-EVAL evaluation boards are priced at $360, the Discovery Kit (STM32F769I-DISCO) at $79, and for the most cost-effective design startup, you can choose the STM32 Nucleo-144 board (NUCLEO-F767ZI) at $23. All products are currently available for purchase and can be ordered directly through ST or its distributors.
