IAR Systems announced a new 32-bit kit for STMicroelectronics' first ARM Cortex-M4 based microcontroller series--STM32 F4. IAR KickStart Kit for STM32F407ZG includes an evaluation board featuring an STM32F407ZG microcontroller, an IAR J-Link Lite debug probe for ST's Cortex-M devices providing JTAG and SWD connections to the board, and a CD with software tools, example projects, and board support packages for different RTOSes.

The STM32 F4 series is the highest-performance ARM Cortex-M processor-based microcontroller range in the market. It is optimal for low-power applications. IAR Embedded Workbench offers a powerful tool suite for energy saving systems, which makes it a perfect match for the low-power STM32 F4 family.
