UDP between STM32-F4 Discovery boards

stm32-f4-udp

[The Backwoods Engineer] tested out a new accessory kit for the STM32-F4 Discovery board. The image above shows two boards communicating with the UDP protocol. Notice the extra PCB into which each Discovery board has been plugged. This is a third-party add-on which adds Ethernet, RS-232, SD card slot, and a connector for LCD or Camera. We've had one of these F4 Discovery boards on hand for a while … [Read more...]

A guide and helper script for ARM cross compiling toolchain on a Mac

mac-arm-toolchain-script

[Mitchell Johnson] wanted to develop for the STM32F4 Discovery board on his Mac. There are a few ready-to-use options when it comes to the ARM toolchains, but he couldn't find one that satisfied all of his needs. After working out all the kinks he wrote a guide and tweaked a script to install the ARM tools on a Mac. The problem he had with some of the pre-packaged tool chains is that they … [Read more...]

[Scot] whips up breakout board for his ARM breakout board

KORNAK-IMG-4915-1 STM32F4 Baseboard BB3U

[Scot Kornak] got his hands on the new STM32 Discovery Board. He got his as a free giveaway, but at only $18 he probably would have picked one up anyway. His one complaint about the device is that he dual pin-headers which break out the ARM processor's pins are not the most convenient for hooking up external components. He decided to make his own breakout board which would give him a more robust … [Read more...]
