The STM32F0DISCOVERY helps you to discover the STM32F0 Cortex-M0 features and to develop your applications easily. It includes everything required for beginners and experienced users to get started quickly.

 

Based on the STM32F051R8T6, it includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool, LEDs, pushbuttons and an additional prototyping board for easy connection of additional components and modules.
Features
  • STM32F051R8T6 microcontroller featuring 64 KB Flash, 8 KB RAM in an LQFP64 package
  • On-board ST-LINK/V2 with selection mode switch to use the kit as a standalone STLINK/V2 (with SWD connector for programming and debugging)
  • Board power supply: through USB bus or from an external 5 V supply voltage
  • External application power supply: 3 V and 5 V
  • Four LEDs:
    • LD1 (red) for 3.3 V power on
    • LD2 (red/green) for USB communication
    • LD3 (green) for PC9 output
    • LD4 (blue) for PC8 output
  • Two push buttons (user and reset)
  • Extension header for all LQFP64 I/Os for quick connection to prototyping board and easy probing
  • An additional board is provided which can be connected to the extension connector for even easier prototyping and probing.
STM32 F0 series Entry-level Cortex™-M0 MCU
The ARM Cortex-M0 based STM32 F0 series delivers 32-bit performance and the essential DNA of the STM32. The STM32 F0 benefits from the combination of real-time performance, low-power operation, advanced architecture and peripherals associated to the STM32 ecosystem.
The new series bridges the gap with applications using 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers, enabling advanced high-end features in economical end products. The STM32 F0 series offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability for home-entertainment products, appliances, and industrial equipment.
STM32 F0 devices are available in UFQFPN32, LQFP48 and LQFP64 packages.

  • I'm pretty beginner, so please forgive the stupidness of this question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. There's a few places on the internet that mention the board is breadboardable, genius, but it looks too wide for most of the breadboards I've seen. How would the more experienced amongst you do this, with a single huge breadboard or a couple of the more common narrower ones?

  • Mine arrived today.....very nice....but you guys mispelled my name at the announcement and so i thought that i'm not on the list ;-)

  • Apologies for the delay. These are waiting to be despatched, we should have tracking numbers early next week. Then I will have information for the winners then. Thank you for your patience.

  • Just wondering when the kits are being sent? It's been a little while since the announcement and I'm really excited to get started with it!

     

    Also, this is my first time on a roadtest, should I have got an email or something to let me know I'd been accepted? I only knew when I came back to check the other day.

  • Can we see the list of people who won the road test ?

  • TI have also been known to get mired in stupid licence terms - letting the legal tail wag the dog...

  • look like funny but for every poeple can't test it for 5$ inclu shipping I try this http://www.element14.com/community/thread/19705?tstart=0

  • the team behind the design of the eval boards, are they engineers or lawyers? or both?

    I'm sure the licence has nothing whatsoever to do with the designers - it'll be a legal department (maybe outsourced?) totally and utterly out-of-touch with the nature & purpose of the product!

     

    However, their designers have been known to make some howlers; eg, the row of pins on some discovery boards which prevents them being used with breadboards or stripboard...

  • I would love to meet the team behind the design of the eval boards, are they engineers or lawyers? or both?

     

    Great ideas keep being stamped on by legislation, import/export, inflated egos, tax, vat, etc.....etc.

     

    Personally I completely ignore any rule that does not make sense, have no intention of being rich enough for anyone to want to sue, and am happy to experiment!
