STM32 Nucleo-32 boards (MB1180)
Introduction
The STM32 Nucleo-32 boards based on the MB1180 reference board (NUCLEO-F031K6,
NUCLEO-F042K6, NUCLEO-F301K8, NUCLEO-F303K8, NUCLEO-L011K4, NUCLEO-
L031K6, NUCLEO-L412KB, NUCLEO-L432KC) provide an affordable and flexible way for
users to try out new concepts and build prototypes with STM32 microcontrollers, choosing
from the various combinations of performance, power consumption and features. The
Arduino™ Nano connectivity support makes it easy to expand the functionality of the
Nucleo-32 open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields. The
STM32 Nucleo-32 boards do not require any separate probe as they integrate the ST-
LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer and come with the STM32 comprehensive software HAL
library, together with various packaged software examples, as well as direct access to the
Arm
