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...
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...
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 The first stage bootloader (FSBL) is a key component in the boot process of STM32N6 microcontrollers. It is responsible for initializing the system, configuring the hardware, and loading the application code from external memory into the int...
Summary The STM32N6 boot ROM is a critical component that initiates the boot process for the STM32N6 microcontroller. It performs various functions such as system initialization, reset source detection, and boot memory device selection. It supports ...
There are two possible solutions for connecting two quad-SPI memories using only one OCTOSPI interface. Solution 1: Use a dedicated bit in the OCTOSPI_CR register for external memory selection: MSEL bit for STM32H5, STM32U5, and STM32L5 series or FS...
Introduction STM32 MCUs users may face an issue with CAN message reception mainly when the CAN2 instance is used. This issue may appear even if the hardware setup is correct, and CAN bit time and filters are configured correctly. If the value of Sta...
After re-programming STM32H7 device, I can’t connect to the device. Connect under reset doesn’t help. Why?There are two possible root causes, that can cause this issue. First one is more probable and is related to power supply misconfiguration. And s...
Summary The STM32 VS Code extension doesn’t natively support OpenOCD, but with some simple configuration, you can integrate it into your debugging workflow. This article covers how to set up OpenOCD (either Streamline or ST’s fork) with the extension...
Introduction On the NUCLEO-WB55RG, we have an embedded ST-LINK/V2-1. However, for several reasons, users may want to use an external ST-LINK for debugging or programming. In this article, I demonstrate a simple use case of programming an STM32WB55RG...
How to use STM32 HAL UART driver API and Callbacks?What are the callbacks involved in UART TX / RX?How are these callbacks called?Why is the callback not called? 1. STM32 HAL UART supports 3 modes for transmitter (TX) / receiver (RX) Polling mode (no...
Introduction ST Open Bootloader is example application code for STM32 microcontrollers providing In-Application programming (IAP) and is offered in the STM32Cube MCU Packages and GitHub. It is fully compatible with the STM32 System Bootloader and sup...
Introduction In this article, we provide a method to modify TX power levels as available in the STM32CubeWBA using ACI_HAL_SET_TX_POWER_LEVEL and read power levels like HCI_READ_TRANSMIT_POWER_LEVEL. This method is implemented with the Zephyr exampl...
In this article, we explore the FreeRTOS™ debugging viewers using STM32CubeIDE and how to enable "Min Free Stack" and "Run Time usage" in each task. Introduction To enhance the analysis and validation of the application running on FreeRTOS™, STM32C...
Hello and welcome back to the second and last portion! 1. Recap We resume from the point we left off, just to give a brief recap, in part 1 we made all the way up to the code generation with STM32CubeIDE: Among the several files created automatically...
1. Introduction The MPU (Memory Protection Unit) is included in the Cortex-M4 and M7 based STM32 Microcontrollers (refer to specific product datasheets to confirm availability). The MPU can be used to make an embedded system more robust and more secu...
