stm32 - USB termination on STM32F437xx


I'm about to layout the USB connection on our boards and wondering whether the termination resistors and pull-up on D+ are necessary when using the STM32F437xx. The datasheet tells:



No external termination series resistors are required on DP (D+) and DM (D-) pins 
since the matching impedance is included in the embedded driver.

Concerning the pull-up resistor on D+ it is stated:


HNP/SNP/IP inside (no need for any external resistor)

However, all development boards I checked (Olimex STM32-H407 and ST STM32F4DISCOVERY & STM32439I-EVAL) seem to include at least the termination resistors of 22Ohms. The Pull-Up on D+ is not included.


For now, I will simply place the two resistors and go with it. Still, I would like to understand the reason why one would "double-terminate" the lines.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
