STM32F103C8T6 Minimum System Board BluePill (CLONE)

The STM32F103C8T6 Development Board is a popular choice to learn how to program the STM32 Microcontrollers from ST Microelectronics. The board consists of the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller which is a ARM Cortex-M 32-bit processor. With its LQFP package type and 48 pins and two crystal oscillators of 8MHz and 32KHz crystal, the STM32F103C8T6 provides a compact yet robust platform for your designs which holds. The MCU has inbuilt 5V to 3.3V voltage regulator to power the MCU. Unlike Arduino boards, the STM32 Development board works on 3.3V.

The MCU contains two onboard LEDs, one is used for power indication and the second LED is connected to the GPIO pin PC13. The STM32F103C8T6 MCU contains three boot modes which can be set using the Boot0 and Boot1 jumper pins.

The development board can be easily programmed using the Arduino IDE. But if you want to explore the complete STM32 development boards, you can also use the STM32Cube and other development environments offered by ST Microelectronics. You can also use Keil, IAR workbench, Atollic TrueStudio, MicroC Pro ARM, Crossworks ARM, Ride 7, PlatformIO+STM32 etc. to program the board. The hex file of a program can be uploaded using a single wire interface module (SWIM) or by using JTAG/ serial wire debugging (SWD).

The device offers two 12-bit ADCs, three general purpose 16-bit timers plus one PWM timer, as well as standard and advanced communication interfaces: up to two I2Cs and SPIs, three USARTs, an USB and a CAN.

Note: This board features a cloned STM32 chip. Hence it CAN NOT be directly programmed from the STM32cubeIDE. But you can upload the HEX file using the Cube Programmer using the ST-Link.
