STM32F4-Reference: common questions

What microcontroller does the STM32F4-Reference use?

The STM32F4-Reference is built around the STM32F405RGT6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the STM32F4-Reference PCB?

The STM32F4-Reference measures 56 × 51 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the STM32F4-Reference?

46 components, from 35 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the STM32F4-Reference design files?

From the pms67/STM32F4-Reference-PCB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the STM32F4-Reference design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which pms67 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the STM32F4-Reference without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
