Introduction

STMicroelectronics is a global independent semiconductor company that designs, develops,

manufactures and markets a broad range of semiconductor integrated circuits and discrete

devices used in a wide variety of applications.

The STR710-EVAL board is based on the STR710FZ2T6, a highly integrated microcontroller,

of embedded flash, 64 Kbytes of high speed SRAM, and numerous on-chip peripherals.

This board is intended as low cost development platform to demonstrate the capability of the

STR71x series of flash micro-controllers and to enable rapid evaluation of the STR71x devices

and available peripherals.

The STR710-EVAL board has 4 Mbytes of SRAM, and 4 Mbytes of flash on EMI, 1-Mbit SPI

serial flash and 8-kbits EEPROM. It supports USB, CAN and RS232 interfaces. The on-board

This board includes a 2x16 programmable LCD display supported by reset, next and select

push buttons.

Because the STR710FZ2T6 is the superset of the STR71xF series, with 144-pin, EMI, 256

Kbytes of flash and 64 Kbytes of SRAM, an alternative use of the STR710-EVAL board is as an

evaluation platform for STR711F and STR712F devices.

The hardware platform of the STR710F series is supported by an extensive software support

package, including device drivers in ANSI C source form and demonstration software. It is

flashed with a demonstration application that shows the basic features of the device.

Development tools are readily available. This is complimented by a range of third party real-

time OS and middleware.

Design schematics can also be supplied in electronic format to those customers with

compatible design environments.
