STMicroelectronics STM32MP257F-DK Discovery Kit

STMicroelectronics STM32MP257F-DK Discovery Kit is designed as a complete development and demonstration platform for the ST STM32MP257FAK3 based on the Arm® Cortex® A35 and M33. The Discovery Kit leverages the capabilities of STM32MP2 series microprocessors so users can develop applications using STM32 MPU OpenSTLinux Distribution software for the main processor (Arm dual-core Cortex-A35) and STM32CubeMP2 software for the coprocessor (Arm Cortex-M33).

The Discovery Kit includes an ST-LINK embedded debug tool, LEDs, push-buttons, 1Gbit/s Ethernet, one USB3 USB Type-C® PD, two stacked USB 2.0 HS Type-A, and one LCD LVDS display connector. It also includes one HDMI connector, a camera connector, a microSD™ card, Wi-Fi® 802.11b/g/n, BLUETOOTH® Low Energy v4.1, and eMMC. To expand the functionality of STM32MP257F-DK, a GPIO expansion connector is also available for Raspberry Pi® shields.
