Product Hierarchy

The Xplained Pro platform consists of several boards, kits, and bundles. It is important to be accurate and consistent in all documentation when describing a physical Xplained Pro product.

The assembled PCB with components is an Xplained Pro board where:

The microcontroller (MCU) board can be referred to as an Xplained Pro MCU board or Xplained Pro main board.
The extension can be referred to as an Xplained Pro extension or Xplained Pro extension board

A (cardboard) box containing one Xplained Pro board is called an Xplained Pro kit. A kit always contains at least one Xplained Pro board, and may also contain additional components such as cables, storage media, or a display module. There are three types of Xplained Pro kits:

A kit containing one MCU Xplained Pro board should be referred to as an Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit
A kit containing one Xplained Pro extension should be referred to as an Xplained Pro Extension kit
A kit containing several kits including cables and everything a new user needs to get started is called an Xplained Pro Starter Kit
