STM32 ecosystem outlines

STMicroelectronics and its partners are providing a full hardware and software ecosystem to
support rapid evaluation, prototyping, and productizing of complete systems using STM32
microcontrollers.
As presented in
develop a project with STM32.
This chapter provides a global overview of the main elements composing the ecosystem,
outlining debug features and useful pointers, in order to guide the user among available
resources.
