•STM32Cube software (CUBE) - Set of free tools and embedded software bricks to
enable fast and easy development with STM32 that simplifies and speeds up
developers’ work
•PC-based STM32CubeMX for graphical configuration of the STM32.
•Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for easy porting from one STM32 device to another and
middleware bricks for the most common functions.
•Alarge number of code use examples.
•STM32Cube expansion software (X-CUBE)
•All STM32 Nucleo expansion boards come with source code drivers and sample applications built
on top of CUBE HAL, which provides abstracted access to board functionalities through high-level
APIs.
•Compatibility with multiple Development Environments
•The STM32 Open Development Environment is compatible with a number of IDEs including IAR
EWARM, Keil MDK,and GCC-based environments.

X-CUBE-PLC1 software description
•The X-CUBE-PLC1is a software package which provides drivers running on the STM32 microcontroller
for the CLT01-38SQ7 and the VNI8200XP devices. It is expansion software for the STM32Cube tool
that eases portability across different STM32 MCUs.
•Implementation examples are available for the industrial input/output expansion board
(X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1) plugged on top of an STM32 Nucleo board (NUCLEO-F030R8, NUCLEO-
F103RB or NUCLEO-F401RE).
Key features
•Firmware examples for building applications using
CLT01-38SQ7and VNI8200XP devices
•Easy hands-on approach for building industrial
PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) for the
most common application cases
•Easy portability across different MCU families
