Detailed Review:

 

To begin with, thank U E-14 for giving  me an opportunity to do this road-Test.This kit is an Affordable and flexible platform to ease prototyping using  STM32F031K6T6 microcontroller.

 

From ST Official Doc

STM32F031K6 - Mainstream ARM Cortex-M0 Access line MCU with 32 Kbytes Flash, 48 MHz CPU, motor control - STMicroelectron…

 

    The STM32F031x4/x6 microcontrollers incorporate the high-performance ARM®Cortex®-M0 32-bit RISC core operating at up to 48 MHz frequency, high-speed embedded memories (up to 32 Kbytes of Flash memory and 4 Kbytes of SRAM), and an extensive range of enhanced peripherals and I/Os. All devices offer standard communication interfaces (one I2C, one SPI/ I2S and one USART), one 12-bit ADC, five 16-bit timers, one 32-bit timer and an advanced-control PWM timer.

 

    The Arduino™ connectivity support and ST Morpho headers make it easy to expand the functionality of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields.The STM32 Nucleo board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer.
