ARM Cortex M7

[DCtech]

I was using stm32f4 on my project but now I want to use the h7 products. I am reading referance manual and watching some videos about the arm cortex m7, but I didnt understand completely about the CPU things. How can I learn the most basic way to understand its memory organization ?

This is one of the things i don't understand:

I also exemine the example of the stm32Cube with h7, every examples start with CPU_CACHE_Enable(); , Should I use the this line in every project and why I didnt understand this function using although reading referance manual ?

Hi Peter,

On https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32h743ag.html#documentation I see Application Notes (5 of 52) and under the 5 appnotes I see Load More. When I click on Load More once, I see all 52 appnotes and no Load More. Within those 52 appnotes, there is no AN4891 (below is the list).

It's under "Application Notes for related Tools & Software (30 of 30)".

However, depending on what buttons you click and how the website feels at the current moment, it may or may not be available with a "Load more" button.

Thanks, Jan,

Now it gets really mysterious, because I had definitely seen the AN4891 with my own eyes in this list yesterday - most strange.

Funnily enough, it shows up in the tab Tools & Software, under

MCU & MPU Embedded Software > X-CUBE-PERF-H7.

In X-CUBE-PERF-H7 it is then finally also to be found. Perhaps a little unfortunate positioned.

Indeed. What an inappropriate place.

The whole design of those product folders is a fail. "Modern and trendy", but not functional. ST won't listen to us anyway, I gave up.

Peter,

That's not "little". It completely defeats the point of the AN. If it's hidden at an unexpected place, it's as good as it never existed.

I hate the site design as well. It takes 2-3 seconds to load, tabs disappear while you are viewing it, things actively move in unexpected ways at certain points while you scroll down the page, the header remains onscreen and takes up viewing space when you don't want it to be there.
The only way such a design would be deemed adequate is if the person making the decision never actually needs to use the site. Unfortunately, I suspect most software decisions in large companies are made by such a person.
The saving grace of ST is that its hardware is really quite good and, up until a couple years ago, relatively cheap and readily available.

[Peter BENSCH]

Jan,

I agree with you guys completely.

However, with this discussion we have left the original question or the topic of the TO again, haven't we?
