Recently, ARM? and STMicroelectronics (ST) jointly announced that ST has officially joined the ARM mbed? project. The collaboration will allow developers to develop mbed software, development tools and online collaboration platforms while using ST's ARM CortexTM-M processor-based STM32 microcontroller family to help them build a new generation of smart electronics. Product vision.

ARM mbed is an industrial cooperation project designed to support the development of the Internet of Things and meet the needs of a new generation of professional developers. It provides free development tools and basic open source hardware and software components to help rapidly develop innovative devices based on the ARM architecture. At the same time, the project integrates connectors, sensors and cloud services software components and tools more easily, creating a dynamic, collaborative ecosystem for developers and partners.

The STM32 microcontroller family starts at $0.32 and supports everything from simple base products to full-platform solutions. The combination of the STM32 microcontroller family and the mbed platform will provide software portability, multiple connectivity options and rapid development strategies to meet the needs of a wide range of IoT applications.

Simon Ford, director of the ARM IoT Platform, said: "The mbed project brings together leading technology companies to drive the productivity of embedded devices. The history of the network revolution and the revolution in smartphones has led us to believe that a reusable software component, The open source software platform created by free development and collaborative tools can drive bio-networking and smart devices on an unprecedented scale."

Daniel Colonna, Global Marketing Director of ST Microcontroller Products, said: "ST's participation in the mbed project will enable developers in different fields to rapidly prototype and manufacture products using top-of-the-line STM32 microcontrollers. Support for new STM32 micro-controls from mbed The development board family will provide a consistent program at the hardware and software level to develop a wide range of devices based on the STM32 family."

The first STM32 development boards supporting mbed will be available in February 2014, and other development boards and products will be supported.
