Engineering inferenceNative camera interface on the main chip.
Engineering inferenceUSB is on the main chip (STM32F446RET6), so the board can enumerate as a keyboard, MIDI device or CDC serial port.
Engineering inferenceArduino Uno-compatible headers accept existing shields.
Engineering inferencePrograms from STM32Cube, Arm Mbed, Arduino.
Engineering inferenceThe board is the parent product. Each chip has its own memory, pins, capabilities and thermal limits.

217951c7-67a5-5abd-8e11-42d9db7e6653--x2The STM32 Nucleo-64 NUCLEO-F446RE (MB1136) is built around the STM32F446RET6, alongside STM32F103CBT6 (ST-LINK/V2-1), LD39050PU33R, ABS25-32.768KHZ-6-T (MB1136 C-03+).
50 GPIO pins are exposed. Xirkit documents 114 board pins, 72 of them with pin-level electrical limits.
68 pins are 5 V tolerant and 4 are not — check each pin in the pinout table before connecting 5 V signals.
Documented output-high current per pin: ≤ 25 mA. Values are traced to the chip datasheet; see the pinout table for per-pin limits and conditions.
Supply range 1.65–12 V. Power inputs: E5V (4.75–5.25 V), VIN (7–12 V), VBAT (1.65–3.6 V), VIN (7–12 V), VDD_TARGET.
