STMicroelectronics introduces the STM8 Nucleo-32 development board

     STMicroelectronics' new STM8 development board features the easy-to-use Nucleo-32 development board form element, making prototyping with 8-bit STM8 microcontrollers (MCUS) faster, more affordable, and easier to use for makers of all types.

     This compact board is equipped with USB port, and the board is easy to control and power. Onboard ST-LINK debugger/programmer, eliminates the need for external debug probes and supports simple drag-and-drop flash writing. The on-board Arduino™Nano pins connect to off-the-shelf shield boards, simplifying motherboard functionality expansion and enabling users to interact with the open source hardware community. These boards are supported by major development toolchains, including IAR Embedded Workbench for STM8 and Cosmic CXSTM8.

     The STM8 MCU is based on a high-performance 8-bit core, integrates large-capacity on-chip memory, including flash memory up to 128KB, and shares the latest peripheral interfaces with the STM32 MCU family, such as timers, analog peripherals, CAN2.0B, and digital interfaces. When designing and developing smart sensors, actuators and other products with strict limits on power consumption, space and cost, the STM8 MCU is the popular choice.

     The first on-market product of the STM8 Nucleo-32 development board, the NUCLEO-8S207K8, integrates a 32-pin STM8S207K8 MCU, which features 12 high-current output ports and multiple capture comparison channels.
