STM32L496G-DISCO Discovery board

Overview

The STM32L496G-DISCO Discovery kit is a complete demonstration and development platform for STMicroelectronics Arm® Cortex®-M4 core-based STM32L496AG microcontroller, with 1 Mbyte of flash memory and 320 Kbytes of SRAM.

The full range of hardware features available on the board helps users to enhance their application development by an evaluation of all the peripherals (such as USB OTG FS, microSD™ card, 8-bit camera, 8-Mbit PSRAM, RGB interface LCD with capacitive touch panel, and others). ARDUINO® Uno V3, Pmod™ and STMod+ connectors provide easy connection to extension shields or daughterboards for specific applications.

ST-LINK/V2-1 is integrated into the board, as the embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCU and USB Virtual COM port bridge.
