Overview
The SPC58XXADPT176S is a premium evaluation board system designed by STMicroelectronics to support the 32-bit automotive microcontrollers from the SPC58 E/N/G lines, including the SPC58EE84E7, SPC58NE84E7, SPC58EN84E7, SPC58EG84E7, and SPC58NG84E7.
The system consists of an SPC58XXMB motherboard and an SPC58XXADPT176S daughter card, which plugs into the motherboard. This setup allows full access to the CPU, all CPU I/O signals, and the motherboard peripherals such as CAN, SCI, LIN, and FlexRAY. The daughter card can also be used as a standalone unit when access to I/O pins or peripherals is not necessary.
Note that the MCU is not included and must be purchased separately.
