Evaluation Kit for STM32H745XI

[Jigs]

Hi,

We are using STM32H745XI processor for one of our customer products. To start our initial software prototype development, we are looking for the evaluation kit. I went through the processor product page, and I have following queries:

1. Looks like there is only one option STM32H745I-DISCO (Discovery kit with STM32H745XI MCU) available for STM32H745XI processor. Is there any other option available?

2. From STM32H745I-DISCO product page, there are 3 IDE are supported (IAR Embedded Workbench®, MDK-ARM, and STM32CubeIDE) My question is STM32CubeIDE free to download and use or need to purchase the license? Which IDE will be best for getting started with STM32 series MCU?

3. As per my understanding Programming and debugging capabilities is integrated into the STM32H745I-DISCO hence no need for external JTAG? Is my understanding correct?

4. Is there anything i need to consider purchasing to kick-start our development?

Thanks
Jigs

Hello @Jigs  and welcome to the Community :),

The STM32H745XIH3 devices is only mounted in STM32H745I-Disco Board. 

The latest version of STM32CubeIDE is available for free download from the www.st.com/stm32softwaretools
website. I think this wiki page Step1 Tools installation and UM2609 can help you to install STM32CubeIDE toolchain.

The STLINK-V3E programming and debugging tool is integrated into the STM32H745I-DISCO and
STM32H750B-DK Discovery kits. It supports:
• USB software re-enumeration
• Virtual COM port interface on USB
• Mass storage interface on USB
• USB power management request for more than 100 mA power on USB

For more information I advise you to refer to UM2488 .

Also, I think STM32H745I-DISCO projects examples can help you to start with this board.

Thank you for your contribution in STCommunity.
