The SPC58EC-DIS is the ideal discovery board for accelerating development and securing a fast time-to-market, with a perfect balance among performances, functionalities and cost. Featuring SPC58 Chorus 4C line microcontrollers, it addresses a wide range of automotive applications such as body and gateway, in which safety and security needs are growing. The SPC58EC-DIS allows full access to peripherals such as DSPI, LINFlexD, ISO CAN-FD. The new features satisfy the ASIL-B requirements. The board provides full access to all CPU’s signals and GPIO’s, and offers compatibility with an Arduino shield, through dedicated connectors. Dedicated connectors allow plugging shields Arduino UNO-compatible; this feature makes it easy to expand the functionality of the SPC58EC-DIS. The board integrates a programmer/debugger that allows debugging and programming the microcontroller via USB cable. In addition, it allows enabling a UART communication channel (USB virtual COM port). It offers easy debug with the on-board PLS debugger-programmer. PLS universal debug engine software is available for free download at https://www.st.com/en/product/spc5-udestk-sw and includes a code size limited full feature evaluation license. Additional SW licenses are available at https://www.st.com/en/product/spc5-udedebg A 1x7 JTAG header connector is available to program and debug the microcontroller by using an external tool.
