## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- Install [STM32CubeIDE](https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeide.html) for firmware development.

- Set up the STM32CubeMX tool for peripheral configuration.

### Powering the Board

1. Connect a USB-C cable to the power port.

2. Alternatively, use a 12V adapter through the barrel jack.

### Flashing Code

1. Connect the board to   your computer via USB.

2. Open STM32CubeIDE, configure your project for the STM32F407VGT.

3. Build and flash your program to the board.

### Debugging

Use the JTAG/SWD interface for debugging and programming. Ensure you have a compatible debugger like ST-Link V2.

## Applications

AuroraF4 is suitable for:

- Embedded systems prototyping

- IoT projects

- Robotics and automation

- Learning and experimentation with ARM Cortex-M4 architecture
