Purpose: A hardware platform used to evaluate and develop software for embedded systems, microcontrollers, or SoCs.

Typical Components:

• Microcontroller/Processor (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, RISC-V)
• Onboard Debugging (e.g., JTAG/SWD via USB)
• USB-to-Serial Converter
• GPIO Headers (for sensors, actuators, etc.)
• LEDs and Push Buttons (for basic I/O testing)
• Power Management (USB or external supply)
• Optional: Display,通信模块 (Wi-Fi/BLE), ADC/DAC interfaces

Common Use Cases:

• Firmware development
• Driver testing
• RTOS evaluation
• Prototyping applications

Popular Examples:

• STM32 Nucleo
• ESP32 DevKit
• Arduino (software prototyping)
• Raspberry Pi Pico
• NXP/Freescale FRDM Boards

Note: Always refer to the board’s user manual for pinouts, power requirements, and supported IDEs/tools.
