4- STM32 Open Development

Environment: Overview

FAST, AFFORDABLE PROTOTYPING AND
DEVELOPMENT

The STM32 Open Development Environment (ODE) is an open, flexible, easy and affordable way to
develop innovative devices and applications based on the STM32 32-bit microcontroller family
combined with other state-of-the-art ST components connected via expansion boards. It enables fast
prototyping with leading-edge components that can quickly be transformed into final designs.

The STM32 ODE includes the following five elements:
o STM32 Nucleo development boards. A comprehensive range of affordable development boards for

all STM32 microcontroller series, with unlimited unified expansion capability, and with integrated
debugger/programmer

o STM32 Nucleo expansion boards. Boards with additional functionality to add sensing, control,

connectivity, power, audio or other functions as needed. The expansion boards are plugged on top
of the STM32 Nucleo development boards. More complex functionalities can be achieved by
stacking additional expansion boards

o STM32Cube software. A set of free-of-charge tools and embedded software bricks to enable fast

and easy development on the STM32, including a Hardware Abstraction Layer, middleware and the
STM32CubeMX PC-based configurator and code generator

o STM32Cube expansion software. Expansion software provided free of charge for use with STM32

Nucleo expansion boards, and compatible with the STM32Cube software framework

o STM32 ODE Function Packs. Set of function examples for some of the most common application

cases built by leveraging the modularity and interoperability of STM32 Nucleo development boards
and expansions, with STM32Cube software and expansions.

The STM32 Open Development Environment is compatible with a number of IDEs including IAR
EWARM, Keil MDK, mbed and GCC-based environments.

The combination of a broad range of expandable boards based
on leading-edge commercial products and modular software,
from driver to application level, enables fast prototyping of ideas
that can be smoothly transformed into final designs.

To start your design:

• Choose the appropriate STM32 Nucleo development board (MCU)

and expansion (X-NUCLEO) boards (sensors, connectivity, audio,
motor control etc.) for the functionality you need

• Select your development environment (IAR EWARM, Keil MDK, and

GCC-based IDEs) and use the free STM32Cube tools and software.

• Download all the necessary software to run the functionality on the

selected STM32 Nucleo expansion boards.

• Compile your design and upload it to the STM32 Nucleo

development board.

• Then start developing and testing your application.

Software developed on the STM32 Open Development
Environment prototyping hardware can be directly used in an
advanced prototyping board or in and end product design
using the same commercial ST components, or components
from the same family as those found on the STM32 Nucleo
boards.
