STMicroelectronics EvoPrimer Platform

The STMicroelectronics EvoPrimer Platform is the third generation Primer handheld rapid-prototyping tool for customers using STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers. The new STMicroelectronics EvoPrimer Platform improves on the previous Primer versions by increasing flexibility and lowering designers' overall investment in tools by providing a common base unit with interchangeable low-cost microcontroller target boards. The flexibility of EvoPrimer provides a quick and cost-effective way to evaluate the wide array of devices in the STMicroelectronics STM8 and STM32 families. EvoPrimer target boards are available for STM8L ultra low-power 8-bit MCUs, 32-bit STM32F Connectivity and Performance Line families. The target boards connect readily to functions on board the EvoPrimer base unit, including an LCD touchscreen, a joystick, a MEMS accelerometer, a microphone, loudspeaker and jack, a Micro SD card connector, and an Li-ion battery with charge-management circuitry.

EvoPrimer Base

The EvoPrimer Base has a removable transparent cover and USB cable that includes features such as the debugging/programming interface and most of the hardware features that you need to evaluate the capabilities of the target MCU. The base can also be extended by using its add-on connector to add components and circuitry.

EvoPrimer Target Boards

The EvoPrimer target boards include the target MCU and may also include additional hardware features for target MCU evaluation. The Primers can be purchased as complete evaluation tools, which can then be modified by purchasing an accessory, or they can be created from the interchangeable accessories. The complete evaluation tools for the STM8L and STM32F microcontroller families consist of an EvoPrimer base with the relevant EvoPrimer target board.
