Design kit for STM32F7 MCU has Arduino extension

STMicroelectronics’ STM32F7 series ARM Cortex-M7 core microcontroller just got easier to design in with a starter kit that has a Arduino Uno connector for coupling into the open source design environment.

Dubbed the Discovery kit, it comes with a 4.3-inch WQVGA colour LCD with touchscreen.

There is a 128Mbit Quad-SPI flash memory interface, 128Mbit SDRAM and interfaces for a micro SD card socket, Ethernet and USB OTG HS connector.

There are audio inputs and outputs, a camera connector and MEMS microphones.

The kit is available from distributor Rutronik which is also selling two versions of the STM32F7 MCU evaluation board. The STM32746G-EVAL2 and the STM32756G-EVAL2 with hardware cryptography acceleration.

The evaluation boards have a 5.7-inch touchscreen, 32Mbyte SRDRAM, the camera module and the RTC with backup battery.

The STM32F7 MCU with on-chip accelerator achieves 1082 CoreMark at 216MHz.

A version of the MCU, STM32F756, incorporates a crypto/hash processor providing hardware acceleration for AES-128, -192 and -256 encryption with support for GCM and CCM, Triple DES, and hash (MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-2) functions.

The series can be ordered at distributor Rutronik in seven different packages with 100 to 216 pins and as small as 4.5 x 5.5mm in WLCSP.
