The EVKITST87M01-2 evaluation kit from STMicroelectronics provides a hardware platform for assessing the behavior of the ST87M01-1001 and ST87M01-1301 NB-IoT modules in low-power asset-tracking and remote-sensing applications. The board exposes the module’s digital, analogue, and RF interfaces, allowing developers to characterize power consumption, network attach behavior, and positioning performance under controlled conditions.

The kit includes access points for monitoring power states such as PSM, eDRX, and wake-up events, supporting evaluation of battery-operated designs with long standby intervals. Standard Arduino Uno R3 headers allow connection to a wide range of microcontroller development boards, simplifying host-processor integration for early prototyping.

A companion software package enables network configuration, messaging tests, and logging of communication parameters. The board is suitable for early architectural decisions on asset-tracking tags, environmental nodes, and industrial sensing devices that require NB-IoT connectivity and long service life from compact enclosures.

Power Integrations

The RDR-1016 reference design board from Power Integrations implements a flyback converter which provides a dual isolated output voltage of 12V at 2A, and 5V at 500mA, from a wide input-voltage range of 85V to 265V ac. The power supply is based on the TNY5073K flyback converter, a member of the TinySwitch-5 family of ICs. 

The board achieves peak efficiency of at least 87% at full load with a 230V ac input. Average efficiency across the load range is at least 85%. 

The RDR-1016 conforms to the requirements of the CISPR22B/EN55022B standards for conducted EMI emissions. It is specified for operation at an ambient-temperature range of 0°C to 40°C with free-air convection cooling.

STMicroelectronics

The STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit is a complete demonstration and development platform for the Arm® Cortex®‑M55 core‑based STM32N6 series microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics. These MCUs include an ST Neural-ART Accelerator, a neural processing unit (NPU) for accelerating AI inference, making this kit the ideal tool for developing proofs-of-concept and prototypes of AI-enhanced product designs. 

The kit includes a full range of hardware features for evaluating the wide range of peripherals supported by the STM32N6 MCUs. Four flexible extension connectors provide expansion capabilities for functions such as wireless connectivity, analog signal processing, and sensing.

The STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit integrates an STLINK-V3EC embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCU, with a USB Virtual COM port bridge and a comprehensive MCU software package.

STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-MKI248KA kit from STMicroelectronics consists of a generic DIL24 adapter board, the STEVAL-MKIGIBV5, a flat cable, and a square PCB on which is mounted the ISM6HG256X six-axis IMU.

The sensor is soldered precisely in the center of the square PCB, making it easy to mount the board on prototype equipment.

STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 board can be plugged into a standard DIL-24 socket. The kit supports the complete ISM6HG256X pin-out, and comes ready to use with the required decoupling capacitors on the power-supply line.

The kit is complemented by the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform, which includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller: this functions as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which engineers can use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for custom applications.

STMicroelectronics

The SATEL-VL53L8 package for the VL53L8 family of time-of-flight (ToF) sensors from STMicroelectronics includes two breakout boards which can easily be integrated into a customer’s devices.

The PCB section which includes the VL53L8 ToF sensor module is perforated. The developer can break off the mini-PCB and use it in an application with a 3.3V supply via flying wires. It is easy to integrate the SATEL-VL53L8 breakout boards into devices under development thanks to their small size.

The breakout boards support two products in the VL53L8 family, the VL53L8CX and VL53L8CH 8×8 multi-zone ToF ranging sensors. They are compatible with the X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 ToF expansion board.

The STEVAL-MKI251A is an adapter board designed to facilitate the evaluation of the LSM6DSV320X 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU).

The board offers an effective solution for fast system prototyping and device evaluation directly within the user’s own application.

The STEVAL-MKI251A can be plugged into a standard DIL 24 socket. The adapter provides the complete LSM6DSV320X pinout and comes ready-to-use with the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD power supply line.

This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform. This includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for customized applications.

The adapter board can be also plugged in other boards such as STEVAL-MKBOXPRO and X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1.
