Question

STM32H5 / H7 Middleware Direction

Background info:

I am looking at ditching Microchip and moving to STM32 H5 or H7.

My application requires networking and support for HTTP server, SNTP client, SNMP V2 & V3 agent and SMTP client with TLS etc

I am looking at H5/H7 primarily because of the larger RAM to support a TFT display of 320x240 or possibly 480x320. I only need 16 bit color. 

 

Now the question:

I am evaluating my choices for a TCP/IP stack. The “free” contenders appear to be LWIP and Azure (NetX) and I have seen some not free offerings such as CyloneTCP and Mongoose.

I suspect that any of them can be made to work with enough effort but in the interest of not wasting company resources I thought it prudent to see who has had successes and frustrations with the offerings that I have been exploring.

Yes. I am the guy who asks how deep the water is before I jump in….

The capability of the NUCLEO-H5E5ZJ as a development PCB with STM32H5E5ZJ MCU and ST-Link 2 x USB-C RJ45 etc is amazing 4MB Flash and 1.5MB SRAM. There is an M2 Key A socket that can be used for more Flash or even an interface PCB.

There is an even better development PCB for the STM32H5F5 (the version with even more security features).

There are HTTP server and SNTP client examples available. I suggest loading them into STM32CubeIDE (via the STM32CubeMX Example Selector), compiling, and familiarizing yourself to see if they meet your needs and expectations. No official SMTP or SNMP examples available that I can see.
