STMicroelectronics Boasts Fast Prototyping Tools for Tinkerers, Hobbyists, Engineers at Rome Maker Faire
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
IoT one-stop shop delivering STM32 MCUs, Sensors, Analog, Power, and
Connectivity shares solutions and ecosystem to cut Time-to-Market
Rome, Italy - 16 October 2015 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, announced today that it is exhibiting its development ecosystem
and many products suited to the exciting and fast-growing Maker movement at the
Maker Faire in Rome, Italy, Oct 16-18 at "La Sapienza" University of Rome in
tent G. Among the attractions at the ST booth is Gordon Williams, the developer
of Espruino, which is an STM32 microcontroller with a complete embedded
JavaScript tool-chain.
Dedicated to innovation, Maker Faire stimulates and showcases creativity and
inventiveness to create market opportunities with a fun and innovative formula.
With a portfolio and approach that simplifies the creation of Smart Things and
speeds prototyping, ST features a broad ecosystem of products and tools that
accelerates product development and reduces time-to-market. Specifically, ST
will bring to Maker Faire Rome its STM32 Ecosystem with ARM® mbed support and
STM32 Open Development Environment along with its STM32Cube.
At its Maker Faire booth, ST will host Gordon Williams, who used the STM32F1
development board, with 128Kbytes of flash and 8Kbytes of RAM, to create
Espruino, a tiny computer running a JavaScript interpreter that further
reinforces ST's efforts to accelerate prototyping and time-to-market. Espruino
is currently being used in small robots, in education in the UK for teaching
students about Control Systems, and in BBC's R&D labs, for prototyping new
devices.
Among the demos ST will show cloud and sensor telemetry via its STM32 Nucleo
development boards, sensors, and connectivity products. It will also showcase
its STM32 Discovery Kits, including its STM32F469 board with graphics
capabilities, STM32L0 with ultra-low power, and STM32L4 with ultra-low power
consumption and high performance. The STM32 Open Development Environment, which
supports plug-and-play development, provides the full range of capabilities to
Sense, Connect, Power, Drive, Move, Actuate, and Translate; everything makers
need to release their creativity.
ST will hold two free workshops on "Getting started with ST's STM32 Nucleo
boards and ARM mbed on-line development environment." Attendees, who are
encouraged to bring their computer and smartphone, will start coding immediately
on available STM32 Nucleo developer boards and expansion boards, along with
access to professional-grade libraries for more advanced functionality using
sensors and RF. Held in English and Italian, the workshops take place on October
16 from 3:00pm to 4:00pm and on October 18 from 2:45pm to 3:45pm in Room 9.
To highlight the value of the STM32 development ecosystem, ST is also hosting at
its booth the winner of its MFR15 design contest. Johannes Taelman, from
Belgium, used an STM32F4 Discovery board to quickly prototype a complete digital
audio platform for makers. Now a finished product, "Axoloti" lets musicians
design digital audio algorithms and sketches that can be played on any MIDI
instrument.
