- Page 19 The STM32 Open Development Environment (ODE) is an open, flexible, easy and affordable way to develop innovative devices and applications based on the STM32 32-bit microcontroller family combined with other state-of-the-art ST components connected via expansion boards. It enables fast prototyping with leading-edge components that can quickly be transformed into final designs.
- Page 20 Environment prototyping hardware can be directly used in an microcontroller or external source advanced prototyping board or in an end product design using the same commercial ST components, or components from Complete product range Integrated debugging and from ultra-low power to the same family as those found on the STM32 Nucleo boards.
