Adafruit STM32F405 Express

STM32F405 MCU based board

Artwork for Adafruit STM32F405 Express board

This board from adafruit which is opensource and based on the single core STM32F405 chip.

You can grab and take a look at the board’s datasheet and schematics, you can also check eagle cad files for the circuit and pcb design on github which are extracted from the datasheet.

Detailed specification for the chip itself could be found on its datasheet

  • ❌: Not supported
  • ⚠️: Partial support (WIP)
  • ✅: Fully supported

The processor is designed to be throughput limited at 3 MIPS. Timing behavior (intervals) remains unaffected; only instruction execution speed is reduced.
