Open8S208Q80 Standard, STM8 Development Board

Overview

Open8S208Q80 is a STM8 development board that features a STM8S208MB device as the microcontroller. It 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 STM8 microcontroller.
