ARM Cortex microcontroller development boards

Abstract

Microcontroller development boards, also called development kits, help the system designers to develop and test projects easily and speedily. These boards incorporate the target microcontroller with usually additional memory, input-output ports, some LEDs, some switches, programmer, and some other peripheral interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, etc. Because the hardware of the development boards has been pretested by the manufacturers, the designer can concentrate on the software of the application, knowing that the hardware is in working order. This chapter describes some of the popular ARM Cortex microcontroller-based development boards. The basic features of the commonly used ARM ...
