STMicroelectronics Slashes Time-to-Development with Open.MEMS Licensing
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Simple FREE five-step development license for one node in as little as 5 minutes
Geneva, November 11, 2014 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, the world's top MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)
manufacturer and the leading supplier of MEMS for consumer and mobile[1] as well
as automotive applications[2], today announced its Open.MEMS program to boost
time-to-development with quick and easy single-node evaluation licensing.
To encourage broad use of its MEMS and sensors to all the customers and open-
community developers, the program makes freely available to Open.MEMS licensees
drivers, middleware, and application software, beginning with sensor fusion for
3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer, considered
vital for many portable and wearable applications. ST anticipates continuing
expansion of the Open.MEMS program with additional and complementary software
libraries, including, for example, blocks for pedometers, tilted compasses,
gesture-recognition, activity monitoring and pedestrian dead reckoning.
"ST has grown to be the leading supplier of MEMS and sensors for consumer,
mobile, and telematics and infotainment automotive applications by providing
outstanding and innovative products to most of the industry's top companies,"
said Benedetto Vigna, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the
Analog, MEMS, and Sensors Group, STMicroelectronics. "The "S" in MEMS has
traditionally been associated with (micro-electro-mechanical) Systems, and now
it also represents our Software, which is ready to enable people all over the
world to express their creativity through ST's exciting Open.MEMS program."
The Open.MEMS program is supported by ST's STM32 Open Development platform, an
open, affordable, and extensible platform for product prototyping and
development based on ST's industry-leading STM32 ARM(®) Cortex(®)-M processor-
core microcontrollers and integrating a wide range of other ST components for
various sense, control, connectivity, power, audio, and other functions.
After acquiring an STM32 Nucleo development board and an STM32 Nucleo Sensor
Expansion board, developers only need to download and install STM32Cube
development tools, STM32 Nucleo expansion software and additional value-
libraries. Once they have agreed to an online, click-through license agreement,
they will quickly receive a unique key for their STM32 Nucleo development board.
Copying the key into the software will automatically unlock all APIs
(application programming interfaces) in each ST value-library, and in as little
as 5 minutes, they can be working on their prototype.
Open.MEMS goes live on November 11, 2014, and will be expanded regularly with
additional low-level drivers, middleware/libraries, and application-layer code.
