STM32F429ZI – HASH Peripheral Not Available in STM32CubeMX

[kotteswaran]

Hi ST Community,

I'm currently working on a project using the STM32F429ZI and trying to use the HASH peripheral for SHA1/SHA256 operations. However, I’m facing two issues:

1. HASH peripheral not visible in STM32CubeMX:

   • I expected to find the HASH peripheral under "Cryptography" or similar in the Peripherals tab, but it doesn't appear as an option in the CubeMX interface.
   • I’ve verified that I’m using the latest STM32CubeMX v6.14.1 and firmware package for STM32F4 v1.28.2.

I believe HASH support is available for STM32F429ZI and if yes, is there any option to enable it using CubeMX and when I added it manually, facing below issue.

2 .Unknown error when using HASH_HandleTypeDef:

• I manually included the following headers in my code
  #include "stm32f4xx_hal.h"
  #include "stm32f4xx_hal_hash.h"
  When I try to declare, HASH_HandleTypeDef hhash; I get an 
  Error[Pe020]: identifier "HASH_HandleTypeDef" is undefined 
   during compilation. The error message is vague and doesn’t point to a specific issue. Also tried enabling  USE_HAL_HASH_REGISTER_CALLBACKS. 

I’ve already confirmed that the HAL drivers are included in the project. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a workaround to enable HASH support manually if it’s not exposed in CubeMX?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hello @kotteswaran 

As per RM0090, HASH peripheral is only available on STM32F415/417xx and STM32F43xxx devices.

There is no mention to STM32F429ZI.
