The STM32U5A9J-DK is a development platform featuring an low power Arm Cortex M33 with support for Arm TrustZone. This compact dev kit is equipped with 4GB of eMMC memory, MEMs sensors and on-board debugger/programmer.

This new development kit features the 32-bit STM32U5A9J ultra-low power microcontroller from the new STM32U5 Series.

• STM32U5A9J — Arm Cortex M33 RISC core (up to 160MHz), MPU, DSP, and FPU; ART Accelerator (32-Kbyte ICACHE + 16-Kbyte DCACHE1), Neo-Chrom GPU (GPU2D, 16-Kbyte DCACHE2), Chrom-GRC (GFXMMU)

According to the datasheet for this product, the Time of Flight sensor is a VL53L5CXV0GC/1 laser-ranging sensor from the ST FlightSense product family. The ToF sensor shares an I2C bus with the STTS22H temperature sensor and an interrupt line.

Other interfaces found on this board include 3x I2Cs, 2x SPIs, USART, LPUART, SAI, SDMMC, ADCs, timer and multiple GPIOs.

The STM32U5A9J-DK integrates an STLINK-V3E embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer. STM32 said they will provide “a comprehensive software HAL library and various software examples.”

The dev kit is supported by IDEs such as STM32CubeIDE, MDK-ARM, and IAR Embedded Workbench.
