Hi All,

I am new to STM32 family and need your suggestion on selecting a board which I can use to learn and understand USB host and USB device programming and firmware.

One day into STM32, I understand that they have a single STM32cube software package which is all I need to evaluate any board/Micro based on STM32. hat is great as all BSP is clubbed together.

I was looking at PIC earlier, but STM32 seems more well documented and organized.

The board should have below features:

- USB host support

- USB device support

- Ready to use examples for USB devices

- If USB examples are FreeRTOS based then thats excellent

Cheers

Several of the DISCO series boards have a USB USER connection, as do the NUCLEO-144 boards

Hi

chandel.rohit1981

‌,

To select the suitable board for your needs (cost, available features and peripherals...) I recommend you to use the 'Board Selector' available in

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-configurators-and-code-generators/stm32cubemx.html

or

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-utilities/st-mcu-finder.html

.

Then, depending on the board you will select, you will find dedicated examples for USB on the related STM32Cube package.

Assume you select

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/evaluation-tools/product-evaluation-tools/mcu-eval-tools/stm32-mcu-eval-tools/stm32-mcu-nucleo/nucleo-f413zh.html

, FreeRTOS, USB_Device and USB_Host example are available in

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcus-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32cube-mcu-packages/stm32cubef4.html

package underSTM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.0\Projects\STM32F413ZH-Nucleo\Applications.

Thanks all for replies.

I've selected stm32f469-I discovery board, as that seemed to have highest no of examples in stm32 cube package.

https://www.digikey.in/product-detail/en/stmicroelectronics/STM32F469I-DISCO/497-15990-ND/5428811

 

ST's evaluation boards have more support in examples for usb, but their prices are too high.

I hope I still can use those examples meant for the stm32f469 eval board from St, with minor changes.

What's your opinion on this ?

Cheers
