Here , I am focusing on only Cortex M0+ , Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 boards from popular STM32 family.

STM32 Nucleo-64 boards

Some of the important common features of STM32 Nucleo-64 boards are as follows :

Arduino connectivity support
ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger integrated so no external debugger probe required
Three interfaces supported on USB. Virtual Com port, Mass storage and Debug port

You may refer to Data Brief
