1.2 Development platform spirit

 The EVALKITSTKNX has been developed in the spirit of the STM32 Nucleo boards.

 Expansion boards with additional functionality can be plugged directly on top of the

Eval Kit development board or stacked on another expansion board.

2 Software overview and setup

2.1 Software components

 The EVALKITSTKNX comes with a complete software package. A sample application

is provided.

 Access to hardware features is simplified with the utilization of the STM32 Standard

Peripheral Libraries (SPL)

 A demonstration version of the TAPKO's KNX protocol stack is provided as a binary

file.

 The software package is compatible with two free GCC-based IDEs: Ac6 System

Workbench for the STM32 and Atollic TrueSTUDIO

®

. Versions of these two IDEs

exist for the Linux

®

and Windows OS.
