The STM32 Nucleo Board, NUCLEO-F072RB will work in conjunction with the STM32 F0 series microcontroller to allow you to build your own prototypes for embedded applications. With its easy to use development platform it can offer a quick solution in evaluating and developing with any Arm Cortex™ M0 processor STM32 F0 32-bit flash microcontrollers in the LQFP64 package. The Nucleo development board connects with the Arduino™ and will support most shields. Also the ST Morpho headers help increase the functionality of the Nucleo open development platform (ODP). The ARM^® mbed enabled board has an integrated ST-Link/V2 circuit debugger and programmer (SWIM/SWD) and this will interface with the on board STM32F072RBT6 with a suitable STM32 MCU in your application.
