Product Description

STM32F103RCT6 Development Board

HighPerformance CortexM3 MCU for Advanced Projects

The STM32F103RCT6 is a 32bit ARM CortexM3 microcontroller delivering 72MHz performance with 1.25 DMIPS/MHz. Featuring 256KB Flash and 48KB SRAM, it is ideal for industrial control, motor drive, and complex embedded applications[citation:1][citation:3].

72MHz CortexM3 Core Highperformance 32bit RISC architecture
256KB Flash & 48KB SRAM - Ample memory for complex firmware
Supply voltage is 2.0V to 3.6V - use 3.3V for typical operation
Requires ST-Link programmer for SWD/JTAG programming interface
Not 5V tolerant - level shifters required for 5V peripherals

Development and Programming

The board supports multiple development environments including STM32CubeIDE, Keil MDK, IAR EWARM, and Arduino IDE. Programming requires an ST-Link V2 programmer connected via SWD interface. For peripheral configuration, STM32CubeMX provides easy setup[citation:5].

Use STM32CubeMX for easy peripheral configuration
Select "STM32F103RC" board in Arduino IDE for compatibility
USB port is not for programming use STLink only
Core voltage is 3.3V - do not apply 5V to GPIO

Troubleshooting

Board not recognized:

  • Use ST-Link V2 programmer for SWD programming
  • USB is power only (or USB OTG function) unless CH340 included
  • Install STM32CubeProgrammer for firmware upload

Firmware upload fails:

  • Check SWD connections (SWCLK, SWDIO, GND, 3.3V)
  • Ensure board is powered (3.3V via ST-Link or external)
  • Verify correct target MCU selected in IDE
