Hi,

In STM32F105xx datasheet, in part numbering section, it has an option named ''Software option'', and it has two options: internal code or black. What does it mean? #!stm32 #part-numbering

Factory programs customer supplied firmware in flash during final test procedure?

You mean for example in mass production they give the compiled code to factory to program the microcontrollers?

Yes, if I were making a million dishwashers, and I just wanted to build boards and plug them in and go without having go through a 30-90 second programming process on each one or expose debug/programming headers.

ST has also had STM32 parts supporting JAVA, these come preprogrammed, not sure if that uses FLASH or ROM
