STM32G071B-DISCO Discovery board

Overview

The STM32G071B-DISCO Discovery board is a demonstration and development platform for the STMicroelectronics Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core-based STM32G071RB microcontroller and particularly the USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery controllers. The STM32G071B-DISCO Discovery board is presented in a plastic casing with all necessary interfaces for easy connection to, and interoperability with, other USB Type-C™ devices. The STM32G071B-DISCO Discovery board discovers and displays USB Type-C™ port capabilities such as data role, power role, VBUS and IBUS monitoring. The integrated ST-LINK/V2-1 provides an embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCU, allowing SWD debugging support and external GUI trace in the STM32Cube™ USB-PD monitor. All functions are accessible by a 4-way user joystick to glance through menus and information displayed by the 128 x 64 pixels OLED embedded display. An 8-pin user connector gathers all communication signals, with the possibility of additional internal GPIO extensions.

ST-LINK/V2-1 is integrated into the board, as the embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCU and USB Virtual COM port bridge.
