Description

1 Description

The STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit is a complete demonstration and development platform for the
Arm® Cortex®‑M55 core‑based STM32N657X0H3Q microcontroller.
The STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit includes a full range of hardware features that help the user evaluate many
peripherals, such as USB Type-C®, Octo‑SPI flash memory and Hexadeca‑SPI PSRAM devices, Ethernet,
camera module, LCD, microSD™, audio codec, digital microphones, ADC, flexible extension connectors, and user
button. The four flexible extension connectors feature easy and unlimited expansion capabilities for specific
applications such as wireless connectivity, analog applications, and sensors.
The STM32N657X0H3Q microcontroller features one USB 2.0 high‑speed/full‑speed Device/Host/OTG controller,
one USB 2.0 high‑speed/full‑speed Device/Host/OTG controller with UCPD (USB Type-C® Power Delivery), one
Ethernet with TSN (time-sensitive networking), four I2Cs, two I3Cs, six SPIs (of which four I2S‑capable), two SAIs,
with four DMIC support, five USARTs, five UARTs (ISO78916 interface, LIN, IrDA, up to 12.5 Mbit/s), one
LPUART, two SDMMCs (MMC version 4.0, CE-ATA version 1.0, and SD version 1.0.1), three CAN FD with
TTCAN capability, JTAG and SWD debugging support, and Embedded Trace Macrocell™ (ETM).
The STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit integrates an STLINK-V3EC embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer
for the STM32 MCU, with a USB Virtual COM port bridge and the comprehensive MCU Package.

Ordering information

2 Ordering information

To order the STM32N6570-DK Discovery kit, refer to Table 1. For a detailed description, refer to its user manual
on the product web page. Additional information is available from the datasheet and reference manual of the
target STM32.

2.1 Product marking

The sticker located on the top or bottom side of all PCBs provides product information:
• Main board featuring the target device: product order code, product identification, serial number, and board
reference with revision.
Example:
Product order code
Product identification
DT73589V1

syywwxxxxx
MBxxxx-Variant-yzz

• Other boards if any: board reference with revision and serial number.
Example:
MBxxxx-Variant-yzz
syywwxxxxx

On the main board sticker, the first line provides the product order code, and the second line the product
identification.
On all board stickers, the line formatted as “MBxxxx-Variant-yzz” shows the board reference “MBxxxx”, the
mounting variant “Variant” when several exist (optional), the PCB revision “y”, and the assembly revision “zz”, for
example B01. The other line shows the board serial number used for traceability.
Parts marked as “ES” or “E” are not yet qualified and therefore not approved for use in production. ST is not
responsible for any consequences resulting from such use. In no event will ST be liable for the customer using
any of these engineering samples in production. ST’s quality department must be contacted prior to any decision
to use these engineering samples to run a qualification activity.
“ES” or “E” marking examples of location:
• On the targeted STM32 that is soldered on the board (for an illustration of STM32 marking, refer to the
STM32 datasheet Package information paragraph at the www.st.com website).
• Next to the evaluation tool ordering part number that is stuck, or silk-screen printed on the board.
Some boards feature a specific STM32 device version, which allows the operation of any bundled commercial
stack/library available. This STM32 device shows a “U” marking option at the end of the standard part number
and is not available for sales.
To use the same commercial stack in their applications, the developers might need to purchase a part number
specific to this stack/library. The price of those part numbers includes the stack/library royalties.
