User Manual

mikromedia 5 for STM32 CAPACITIVE is a compact
development board designed as a complete solution for
the rapid development of multimedia and GUI-centric
applications. By featuring a 5” capacitive touch screen
driven by the powerful graphics controller that can display
the 24-bit color palette (16.7 million colors), along with a
DSP-powered embedded sound CODEC IC, represents a
perfect solution for any type of multimedia application.
At its core, there is a powerful 32-bit STM32F407ZGT6 or
STM32F746ZGT6 microcontroller (referred to as “host MCU”
in the following text), produced by STMicroelectronics,
which provides sufficient processing power for the most
demanding tasks, ensuring fluid graphical performance and
glitch-free audio reproduction.
However, this development board is not limited to
multimedia-based applications only: mikromedia 5 for
STM32 CAPACITIVE (“mikromedia 5” in the following text)
features USB, Ethernet, WiFi and RF connectivity options,
digital motion sensor, piezo-buzzer, battery charging
functionality, SD-Card reader, RTC, and much more,
expanding its use beyond the multimedia. Two standardized
1x26 pin headers expose the available MCU pins to the user,
adding another layer of expandability. By using mikromedia 5
shield, connectivity can be further expanded with several
mikroBUS
™
sockets, additional connectors, peripherals, and
so on.
The usability of mikromedia 5 does not end with its ability
to accelerate the prototyping and application development
stages: it is designed as the complete solution which can
be implemented directly into any project, with no additional
hardware modifications required. Four mounting holes
(3.2mm / 0.126”) at all four corners allow simple installation
with mounting screws. For most applications, a nice stylish
casing is all that is needed to turn the mikromedia 5
development board into a fully functional, high-performance,
feature-rich design.
