What's the different between the X-Nucleo and Nucleo which is newer?

Please, note STM32 Nucleo and the "X-Nucleo" were not component shields but, both the Nucleo and "X-Nucleo" are micro-controller boards of their kind.

I have some difficulties in uploading these images.

Please see these images at:

And:

for X-Nucleo.

The question is: which one of these were newer generation?

Hi,

Nucleo are boards containing the STM32 microcontrollers:

X-Nucleo are components (or shields) containing other devices (sensors, communication, ...):

Please, note STM32 Nucleo and the "X-Nucleo" were not component shields but, both the Nucleo and "X-Nucleo" are micro-controller boards of their kind.

I am sorry, what I meant was: is the Nucleo a newer generation of STM32 boards?

Please see these images at:

And:

for X-Nucleo.

The question is: which one of these were newer generation?

Thank you for attention.

These boards are not from ST... They use ST logo without ST's permission...
