Description
The Hitex STM32-PerformanceStick is a
complete, low-cost evaluation and development
package that provides a fast and easy
introduction to the capabilities of ST’s ARM
Cortex™-M3 core-based STM32 family of
microcontrollers. It is specifically designed to help
application designers explore STM32 features
and performance characteristics (low power
modes, clock controls, wake up states, etc.), but
can also be connected to extension boards with

Data Brief
hardware features for evaluation of device
peripherals or development of an application.
The Hitex software toolset for STM32 includes
everything de velopers need to modify and rebuild
the sample application s (C sour ces in clude d) and
to develop their own applications using the
STM32-PerformanceStick. The software includes
HiTOP5, Hitex’s integrated development
environment that drives th e hardware and offe rs a
full range of project management, source code
editing and debugging features from an intuitive
graphical interface. For more information about
HiTOP5 downloads and updates, refer to the
Hitex website.
The software also includes the Altium Tasking VX
C compiler for compiling application source files.
When using the STM32-PerformanceStick, the
compiler has no output code-size limitations.
The DashBoard graphical interface allows users
to modify STM32 configuration and view
performance information. This is possible thanks
to the innovative hardware design of the STM32-
PerformanceStick, which retrieves STM32 and
peripheral performance information in real time.

Ordering information STM3210B-PFSTICK
The eva luation hardware includes the STM32-PerformanceStick with integrated debugging
and programming capability via a dedicated USB interface. An extension I/O board
connector provides access to signals on the STM32 pins and allows connection of extension
boards with hardware features for peripheral evaluation, or the developer’s own application
board. Power supply is provided via a USB connection with the host PC.
An extension I/O board is available for connection to the STM32-PerformanceStick, and
provides hardware features such as USB, CAN, USART connectors and IrDA sensor for
evaluation of device peripherals. The extension I/O bo ard is provided with the STM32PerformanceStick in the Hitex STM32 starter kit (ST order code: STM3210B-SK/HIT).
Ordering information
