STMicroelectronics has unveiled a development ecosystem comprising important new tools and embedded software for STM32F4 microcontrollers. At the same time, it will focus on commencing volume production of the new STM32F4 microcontrollers that began sampling earlier in 2013.
The development ecosystem includes a full offer from ST, including new STM32 Discovery Kits and full-featured STM32F4x9 evaluation boards as well as software solutions like STM32-JAVA Java and the STemWin free graphical stack.
The STM32F427/437 series is also entering full production, upgraded with the 180MHz core, dual-bank memory, and other features of the STM32F429/439, excluding the TFT-LCD controller.
Also entering volume production is the STM32F401 microcontroller announced in April 2013. The device balances high performance (105 DMIPS and 285 CoreMark, and zero-wait Flash execution with the ART Accelerator), power efficiency and high feature integration in packages as small as 3x3mm.
Among dedicated STM32F4 tools from third-party vendors, the STM32F429 standalone daughter board will join the Raisonance EvoPrimer ecosystem. The board will be for use with the Raisonance EvoPrimer base, which provides features such as the debugging/programming interface and most of the hardware needed to evaluate the target microcontroller.
These innovative new tools add to the support for STM32F4 now available in standard development environments from third-party providers, including Atollic, IAR, Keil/ARM, Raisonance and Tasking.
Many of these tools, including third-party evaluation boards, can already be ordered from distributors. All are expected to be orderable by the end of October 2013.
