STMicroelectronics STM32: Preprogrammed evaluation package uses Raisonance software tools

Based on the ARM Cortex-M3 core, the STM32 Primer handheld evaluation and development kit includes Raisonance software tools. The 128×128-pixel LCD color monitor uses a MEMS-based position sensing to monitor the forward, backward, left, or right tilt of the Primer. The device uses a battery, powered by two USB connectors. The Raisonance’s RIDE7 integrated development environment for 32 kbytes of code, including an unlimited GNU C/C++ compiler, provides a programming and debugging capability. Additional features include a footprint on the PCB (printed-circuit board) for mounting an IrDA transmitter and pads for adding peripherals using spare I/O pins of the STM32. The kit includes evaluation and development hardware with a preprogrammed STM32 device, an in-circuit debugger/programmer, and a RIDE, GNU C/C++ compiler ARM software package, enabling in-circuit debugging/programming of a target device. The STM32 device costs $32.
