STMicroelectronics has updated its ST-MCU-FINDER application to include an improved development board view, export to Excel feature, and a fuzzy matching tool that highlights MCUs with similar characteristics.
The application allows exploring and connecting to the complete portfolio of STM32 Arm Cortex-M and STM8 microcontrollers and development boards, from any mobile device or directly from the developer’s desktop environment. It features easy-to-use selection tools, self-maintaining documentation and connections to MCU communities.
Users find the MCU and development board part number that best fits their application thanks to an easy search with multiple criteria including core type, CPU frequency, memory, price, package, I/Os, temperature grade and peripherals such as control, timers, analog, connectivity, multimedia and security. Users can also buy devices online.
Developers have quick access to data and technical resources to support their microcontroller projects. The technical documentation for a selected device (including datasheets, reference manuals, application notes, user manuals, programming manuals and errata sheets) is available in one place and can be downloaded for offline viewing. Documents are automatically updated with their latest version.
In the desktop version, the development begins immediately after the device selection by launching STM32CubeMX initialisation-code generator directly from the application. ST-MCU-FINDER connects users with developer communities on popular social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, the STM32 YouTube channel and ST Community.
