Nucleo: Embedded Development Platform for IoT & Embedded Applications
Nucleo is an embedded development platform providing hardware and software tools for creating IoT and embedded applications based on STMicroelectronics microcontrollers and microprocessors, including development boards, debug tools, software libraries, and code examples.
What is Nucleo?
Nucleo is an open development platform by STMicroelectronics that simplifies and speeds up embedded application design. It provides affordable and easy-to-use hardware combined with eco-system of development boards, software tools and libraries to jump-start new ideas into life.
Key features and benefits of Nucleo include:
- A comprehensive range of over 70 low-cost Nucleo development boards based on STM32 microcontrollers and microprocessors. Boards come integrated with an ST-LINK debugger/programmer and Arduino UNO R3 compatible connectors for unlimited expandability.
- Free and easy-to-use STM32Cube software tools and libraries to build, configure and debug embedded software on the Nucleo boards. Includes compilers, IDE, RTOS, TCP/IP stack, peripheral drivers and code examples.
- Access to the STM32Cube Ecosystem with function packs, expansion boards and software examples from STMicroelectronics and partners to add specialized functionality for IoT, industrial, smart home, and other applications.
- A large community of over 200,000 developers that share software libraries, code examples, and technical Know-how to reduce development effort and time-to-market.
In summary, the Nucleo ecosystem enables scalable solutions from prototype to production for mainstream and high-performance STM32 applications with minimal investment and short learning curves.
