STMicroelectronics has announced that it has joined the ARM mbed Project. The agreement will give developers using ST’s STM32 microcontroller range, based on the ARM Cortex-M-based processor series free access to the mbed software, development tools and online collaboration platform, enabling them to realize their own visions for the new wave of intelligent electronics products.
ARM mbed which is a industry project to nurture the Internet of Things (IoT) will also enable the easy integration of connectivity, sensor and cloud-service software components and the tools and support for a dynamic, collaborative developer and partner ecosystem.
ST’s STM32 microcontroller range starts at just $0.32 and the MCUs address the full spectrum of applications from simple products to entire platform solutions. Combined with the mbed platform, this offers software portability, diverse connectivity options and a rapid development approach for a full range of IoT applications.
“By joining the mbed project, ST is enabling developers across diverse markets to quickly prototype and create new products based on leading-edge STM32 microcontrollers. The support for mbed will be launched in Q1 with a brand new line of STM32 microcontroller development boards to provide a consistent way to develop with devices across the STM32 portfolio at hardware and software levels.” said Daniel Colonna, Microcontrollers Marketing Director at ST.
The first mbed-enabled STM32 development boards will be launched in February 2014.
