STMicroelectronics STM8S-Discovery Board

The STMicroelectronics STM8S-Discovery Board is the easiest and most cost-effective way to discover the STM8S, to build and debug the application, and to program and use the device. The STM8S-Discovery is a quick-start evaluation board based on the STM8S105C6T6 microcontroller (MCU). The STMicroelectronics STM8S-Discovery Board includes the ST-LINK embedded debugger and one touch-sensing button that help you discover the features of the STM8S MCU. You can plug this STMicroelectronics evaluation board into a PC through a standard USB cable and run the proposed example. Once the debugger is open, you will see the real-time execution of the code. Numerous applications are available to learn, reuse, and modify codes for a fast time to proof-of-concept or demonstration. It will satisfy hobbyists, developers, students, and support teams. Based on examples, you will find STMicroelectronics STM8S-Discovery Kit indispensable.

The STEVAL-ILM001V1 plug-in hardware module for the STM8S-DISCOVERY can be used to create a fully functioning DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) slave application.
