STMicroelectronics STM3210C-SK/RAIS

Overview

STM3210C-SK/RAIS from STMicroelectronics is a complete, low-cost starter kit for STM32 connectivity line microcontrollers based on ARM® Cortex™-M3 core, featuring Ethernet, USB OTG, CAN, audio jack, and loudspeaker interfaces on the daughterboard, plus REva universal motherboard with SO-DIMM socket, 20-pin JTAG, USB-powered operation, and on-board peripherals including LEDs, buttons, potentiometer, temperature sensor, I²C EEPROM, RS-232, and prototyping area.

For engineers reviewing the STM3210C-SK/RAIS datasheet, STM3210C-SK/RAIS pinout, STM3210C-SK/RAIS application, or STM3210C-SK/RAIS equivalent, this kit supports rapid evaluation and firmware development for industrial gateways, embedded networking nodes, USB-CAN bridge prototypes, and audio-enabled edge controllers using STM32F107VC.

Technical Context

The STM3210C-SK/RAIS integrates Raisonance's REva motherboard with an STM32F107VC daughterboard, enabling full hardware/software co-development for ARM Cortex-M3-based connectivity applications. It delivers native support for Ethernet MAC (MII/RMII), USB 2.0 OTG (full-speed), dual CAN 2.0B controllers, and stereo audio I²S with external codec interface.

RIDE7 IDE drives GNU C toolchain and embedded RLink debugger/programmer over USB, supporting unlimited Flash programming and up to 64 KB debug code size. The platform uses a 20-pin JTAG interface and provides configurable VDD (1.8V/3.3V/5V) for flexible MCU voltage testing.

FAQ

Does STM3210C-SK/RAIS include the STM32F107VC microcontroller pre-mounted?

Yes - the STM3210C-SK/RAIS includes a fully assembled REva motherboard with the STM32F107VC daughterboard permanently mounted and tested. The daughterboard features the STM32F107VC microcontroller with 256 KB Flash, Ethernet PHY interface, USB OTG transceiver, and dual CAN controllers, ready for immediate firmware loading and debugging via RLink.

Is RIDE7 IDE and GNU toolchain included with the kit?

Yes - the STM3210C-SK/RAIS ships with Raisonance's RIDE7 integrated development environment, GNU C compiler, high-level language debugger, SIMICE simulator, and RFlasher programming utility. No additional license purchase is required for basic compile/debug functionality, though optional upgrade licenses extend debug memory limits beyond 64 KB.

Can the REva motherboard be used with non-ST microcontrollers?

No - the REva motherboard is designed exclusively for STMicroelectronics ARM-based microcontrollers (STM32, STR9, STR7 families) via standardized SO-DIMM daughterboards. Its JTAG interface, power sequencing, peripheral routing (e.g., Ethernet MII pins), and firmware drivers are validated only for ST's specified MCUs and are not compatible with third-party or non-ARM cores.

What is the maximum debug code size supported without a license upgrade?

The embedded RLink debugger supports up to 64 KB of debug code size out-of-the-box - sufficient for full debugging of applications targeting the STM32F107VC's 256 KB Flash. This limit applies regardless of Flash size; no license upgrade is needed for projects staying within this footprint, including Ethernet TCP/IP stacks, USB device firmware, and dual-CAN protocol handlers.
