About the development board and setup
- [Instructor] Just a quick notice about the development board and the tools used in the course. In this course, we use the Nucleo-F411 development board. This is what it looks like. It is manufactured by ST Microelectronics. The board has a few components. The black button is the reset button. This allows us to reset the onboard microcontroller. The blue button is a user button that we can program as an input. It's also got a user LED that we can program as an output. At the heart of this is the STM32F411 microcontroller, which is an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. Next, let's see the tools used. In this course, we use the STM32 Cube MX and the STM32 Cube IDE. The STM32 Cube MX is a simple tool that allows us to use a graphical user interface to configure the microcontroller. The STM32 Cube IDE is a free Eclipse-based IDE. We've placed all the lessons for downloading and setting up these tools at the last section of the course, so if you want to follow along using these tools, please see the last section of the course.
