Introduction Debug authentication is a critical security feature of the system considering that with a debugger the user can access a large part of the system. To control a reopening of the debug port, the device imposes a debug authentication proto...
Summary This article is an introduction to STM32 MCU development through the VS Code IDE. In this article, we cover the following: Setting up your VS Code environment to interface with STM32 MCUsCreating a new project through the embedded CubeMX plat...
1. System (ROM) bootloader The system bootloader is present on all STM32 MCUs. As the name suggests, it is located on the system memory (ROM) area of the MCU. The system bootloader is located on the read only portion of the memory and is programmed ...
The STM32WB as a server can be connected to 8 clients max for the STM32WB3x and STM32WB5x.In contrast, 5 clients max for the STM32WB1x using the stm32wbxx_BLE_Stack_full_fw.bin stack (from STM32CubeWB version 1.21.0). To achieve this, the server nod...
Introduction This article is a step-by-step guide on how to implement an STM32 application as a USB device. This device should combine human interface device (HID) and device firmware upgrade (DFU) functionalities into a composite USB device. This al...

How to add your SPI flash into the STM32CubeProgrammer’s external loader?Welcome back with the part 2 of our article series that explains how to add a custom SPI flash memory in the External Loader portion of the STM32CubeProgrammer and in the STM32C...
1. GPDMA module setup The new DMA module (which includes the GPDMA and the LPDMA) available in series such as the STM32U5 are slightly different than the regular DMA. In this article, we’ll discuss the setup for using GPDMA in a similar way as the st...
Introduction This article provides a step-by-step guide on configuring the GPDMA linked list in STM32CubeMX. It does not cover the legacy standard DMA approach, which is described in the article "How to configure the GPDMA." 1. Software prerequisite...
Introduction In this guide, we explore how to integrate and use the FreeRTOS+ command-line interface (CLI) library to enhance your embedded applications. Designed for ease of use and flexibility, the FreeRTOS+ CLI allows developers to create robust c...
Introduction In this article, we cover the steps needed to use the Register callback's feature in STM32. The NUCLEO-H503RB (with an STM32H503RBT6 microcontroller) board is used, but the steps can be easily tailored to another MCU. All the implement...
Introduction There are many possible ways to access the System Bootloader in STM32 devices and, in this tutorial, we will cover how to easily perform this jump directly from application code for all our families and product series, except for the STM...
Summary The primary objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide on creating an external flash loader to interface with external memories. This demonstration uses the STM32H7S3L8H6 microcontroller and XSPI to interface ...
Introduction Sharing a MCU board between multiple users may be sometimes challenging when someone makes a modification on the board or in the MCU option bytes and doesn’t notify about it. Additionally, the board owner might forget the changes applie...
Summary This article is a step-by-step guide on how to use the half and interleaved modes of the STM32G4 HRTIMER (high-resolution timer). The examples in this article are demonstrated using the B-G474E-DPOW1 board but can be tailored to any other STM...
Summary This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the LwIP with the STM32H5 series. A simple DHCP connection is made using the NUCLEO-H563ZI board, outlining the process from configuring the basic hardware connections up to the firmwar...
