STMCube is an STMicroelectronics original initiative to ease developers life by reducing development efforts, time and cost. STM32Cube covers STM32 portfolio.

STM32Cube Version 1.x includes:
    • The STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows to generate C initialization code using graphical wizards.
    • A comprehensive embedded software platform, delivered per series (such as STM32CubeH7 for STM32H7 series)
      • The STM32Cube HAL, an STM32 abstraction layer embedded software, ensuring maximized portability across STM32 portfolio
      • A consistent set of middleware components such as RTOS, USB, TCP/IP, Graphics

Update History

V1.3.0 / 29-June-2018

Main Changes

  • Add support for STM32H750xx value line
    • The STM32H750xx value line come with only 128KB internal flash, it is intended for code execution from external memories. 
    • This STM32CubeH7 FW release provides several applications to demonstrate how to boot from internal flash, configure the external memories and jump to user application (located on external memory). Two possible use cases are available : XiP and BootROM.
      • XiP use case is intended for eXecution in Place from external flash memory (QSPI or FMC-NOR flash) . 
        • The user application code shall be linked with the target execution memory address (external QSPI  or FMC-NOR flash). 
      • BootROM use case is intended to demonstrate how to boot from internal flash, configure the external RAM memories (SDRAM or SRAM), copy user application binary from a micro-SD or from QSPI-Flash to the external SDRAM or external SRAM then jump to the user application.
        • The user application code shall be linked with the target execution memory address (external SDRAM or SRAM). 
  • \HAL
    • Updates to fix known defects on HAL Cortex, HAL RCC and HAL SDMMC drivers.
    • HAL Cortex: Driver update to support 16 MPU regions instead of 8. User can select an MPU regions from MPU_REGION_NUMBER0 to MPU_REGION_NUMBER15.

    • HAL RCC : Update and rework HAL_RCC_PeriphCLKConfig function in order to support consecutive configurations for several peripherals using PLL2 and PLL3.

    • HAL SDMMC: Fix and enhancements to support SD high speed mode.
  • \CMSIS
    • Add the support of  STM32H750xx  devices
  • \Projects
    • Add Following applications for STM32H743I_EVAL :
      • ExtMem_Boot : 
        • This application shows how to boot from internal flash, configure external memories then jump to user application located on external memory
        • User can select QSPI flash , FMC-NOR flash, external SDRAM or external SRAM for code execution. 
      • ExtMem_Application\LedToggling :
        • Sample application runing from external flash (QSPI flash or FMC-NOR flash), external SRAM or external SDRAM
      • ExtMem_Application\FreeRTOS :
        • Sample FreeRTOS application with execution from external flash (QSPI flash or FMC-NOR flash), external SRAM or external SDRAM
