STM32-PerformanceStick

The 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™-M3core-based STM32 family of microcontrollers. It is specifically designed to help application designers explore STM32 features and performance characteristics (low power modes, clock controls,wakeup states, etc.), but can also be connected to extension boards with hardware features for evaluation of device peripherals.

The STM32-PerformanceStick includes several sample applications implementing device peripherals (USB, CAN, ADC, ...) and Hitex  DashBoard interface that allows users to modify device configuration(power modes, peripheral power, clock, PLL, RTC... etc.) andview the impact on performance indicators and application execution in real time.

The C source code for all sample applications is provided so that users can modify them, and then rebuild and debug the applications.

The software package includes an unlimited Hitex tool chain tailored to the STM32-PerformanceStick. Software tools include the full version of the TASKING VX C/C++ compiler for ARM for building/rebuilding the applications and Hitex HiTOP5 development environment for code editing, device programming and application debugging.

The STM32-PerformanceStick can be ordered independently with the software toolset, or as part of the Hitex STM32 starter kit, which includes an I/O board for evaluation of a range of STM32peripherals (USB, CAN, USART, IrDA, etc.).
