STM32 MCUs Embedded software

I'm trying to use FATFS library with my SPI-Flash. How can I format it in a right way. I'm using 16Mb flash. W25q16. It has 64 Blocks, each Block has 8 sectors. Total 512 sectors, each sector has 16 pages, each page has 256 Byte.

I traced the code flow and I found that the SPI flash should be formatted.I used an SD-Card and traced the code while it is mounted and knew that it searches in sector 0 for the record signature and the pointer to the partition sector. Then it reads ...

Hi everyone,I want to start using the H743ZI serial communication with an hyperterminal software but i am not able to compile my project. I am using the STM32Cube_FW_H7_V1.3.0 UART POLLING example as a reference but everytime i try to compile my proj...

FreeRTOS good practices

Hello,I don't really have a problem, but I'm asking myself questions and I didn't succeed in synthesizing them and find answers on Google.Problem 1:Several tasks want to use the same peripheral, lets say SPI bus for example. What is the best way to p...

Does STM system bootloader enable internal pull up on UART lines?

I am wondering whether STM system bootloader enables internal UART pull ups? I guess it doesn't, but I can't find this in ST docs.My board does not have external pull ups on UART line and I want to avoid having RX pin floating.

Quick clarification of USB CDC buffer sizes when used with CAN on F072

Hi all!I intend to use USB and CAN on an STM32F072. The datasheet describes a 1KB SRAM buffer, 768B for USB and 256B for CAN.In CubeMX, when I set up the USB as a VCP, by default it sets 1000 bytes for "USB CDC Tx Buffer Size" and 1000 bytes for "USB...

Hello. My name is Kennedy and I would like to know how to turn my STM32F407G-DISC1 into a printer device (printer class)?

Bootloader cannot flash hex files with shorter lines

Hi,we have a hex file coming from GCC which we cannot flash onto the MCU with our own flashing tool (F412 and L471 tested).While investigating, we found that after a shorter line all writing seems to fail silently (still receiving ACK).In the picture...

Issues with SPI using HAL

Hi,I'm new to using HAL, and I'm having several issues with setting up the SPI.I'm using SPI 1 on an STM32F429ZGT6, and using KEIL as my IDE.I've just tried initializing SPI 1 by configuring GPIOA Pins 5, 6 and 7 for their SPI Alternate functions.I s...
