Overview

Open407Z-C is an STM32 development board designed for the STM32F407ZxT6 microcontroller, consists of the mother board and the MCU core board Core407Z.

The Open407Z-C supports further expansion with various optional accessory boards for specific application. The modular and open design makes it the ideal for starting application development with STM32F4 series microcontrollers.

What's on the mother board

1. MCU core board connector: for easily connecting the MCU core board

12. DCMI interface: for connecting camera module
13. UART3 interface: easily connects to RS232, USB TO 232, etc.
14. Ethernet interface: easily connects the MCU to ethernet network by using an additional ethernet module
15. ONE-WIRE interface: easily connects to ONE-WIRE devices (TO-92 package), such as temperature sensor (DS18B20), electronic registration number (DS2401), etc.
16. PS/2 interface: easily connects to PS/2 keyboard and/or mouse
17. 16-bit FSMC interface: easily connects to peripherals such as NorFlash, SRAM, etc.
18. 5V DC jack
19. 5V/3.3 V power input/output: usually used as power output, also common-grounding with other user board
20. MCU pins connector: all the I/O ports are accessible on expansion connectors for further expansion
21. POWER JMP
    • 5VDC: powered from 5V DC jack
    • Core5V: powered from the MCU core board
22. LEDs jumper
23. User key / Wake-Up button jumper
24. Joystick jumper
25. PS/2 jumper
26. LEDs: convenient for indicating I/O status and/or program running state
27. User key: convenient for I/O input and/or interact with running code
28. Wake-Up button: wake up the STM32 MCU from sleep mode, also used as regular user key
29. Joystick: five positions
