Overview

Open051C is an STM32 development board that features an STM32F051C8T6 device as the microcontroller. There are further expansions with various optional accessory boards for specific application. The modular and open design makes it the ideal for starting application development with STM32F family.

Note:
The Open051C supports programming via STM32 UART bootloader, a USB TO UART accessory board is also provided in the package.
The Open051C does NOT integrate any debugging function, a debugger is required.
