    The DM-STF4BB Base Board from Embest is an expansion board designed especially for STMicroelectronics’ STM32F4DISCOVERY high-performance discovery board which is based on the STM32F407VGT6 ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller and includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool, two ST MEMS, digital accelerometer and digital microphone, one audio DAC with integrated class D speaker driver, LEDs and push buttons and an USB OTG micro-AB connector on board.

    The DM-STF4BB Base Board enables the STM32F4DISCOVERY board users to further discover more features of the STM32F4. It has incorporated additional functionalities to the STF32F4DISCOVERY providing Serial ports, USB, Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C, GPIO, Camera, TF Card, LCD and Touch Screen interfaces on board. The combination of the DM-STF4BB and the STM32F4DISCOVERY forms an ideal evaluation board Devkit407 for evaluating the STM32F4xx series ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers and allows easy prototyping of third party solutions with STM32F4DISCOVERY board or STM32F4xx series microcontrollers.

    Embest has ported uC/OS-II to the DevKit407 board and the software also features the GUI support on uC/OS-II and LwIP_v1.3.2 protocal support. Meanwhile, Embest has offered rich software examples for DevKit407 besides those provided by STM32F4DISCOVERY kit. Along with the goods deliveries, Embest provides a CD containing the uC/OS-II BSP and plenty of software examples, board schematic and user manual to help customer better understanding this board and develop their own applications.

    Moreover, Embest offers one 3.5 inch LCD Module DM-LCD35RT (including touch screen) and one 1.3 megapixel Digital Camera Modules for options to implement the video input and output performance on DevKit407
