STMicroelectronics Speeds Smart Devices
to Market with Extra Software for Microsoft® Azure RTOS Projects on
STM32 MCUs
Fully integrated within STM32Cube ecosystem,
software expansion packs build on recently announced joint
initiative with Microsoft®
Geneva, March 1, 2021 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE:
STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers
across the spectrum of electronics applications, is strengthening
support for the next generation of smart connected devices powered
by Microsoft® Azure RTOS, by releasing the first in a series of
richly featured STM32Cube Expansion Packages for product design
teams.
ST and Microsoft announced seamless access to the Azure RTOS
suite through ST’s STM32Cube* ecosystem in 2020. Building on that
initiative, the new software packs provide additional code examples
that help overcome common engineering challenges to accelerate time
to market. Royalty free, developers can use and customize the
examples out of the box.
“The STM32 ecosystem is independently recognized as an
industry-leading ecosystem for embedded development and we continue
to add new software and tools that deliver high value for
customers’ projects,” said Ricardo de Sa Earp, Group Vice
President, Microcontroller Division General Manager,
STMicroelectronics. “With the latest STM32Cube Expansion Packages,
our customers can be sure of achieving the fastest route to market
when creating new products running Azure RTOS.”
The first expansion pack, X-CUBE-AZRTOS-H7, gives a head-start
to projects targeted at using ST’s STM32H7 microcontrollers (MCUs),
the highest performing series in the STM32 MCU family. ST will
release similar packs for other STM32 MCUs over the course of
2021.
The STM32H7 series contains over 100 single-core and dual-core
variants, delivering processing performance up to the industry’s
highest benchmark scores for MCUs based on Arm® Cortex®-M
processors, with powerful graphics-handling capabilities and
hardware-based cyber-security.
X-CUBE-AZRTOS-H7 is available now to download, free of charge,
at http://www.st.com/x-cube-azrtos-h7.
Further Technical InformationThe STM32
ecosystem provides resources to aid embedded software and hardware
development. STM32Cube software packs and tools include the
powerful STM32CubeMX configuration tool, STM32CubeIDE integrated
development environment, STM32Cube MCU Packages for specific MCUs,
and targeted STM32Cube Expansion Packages. The extensive selection
of hardware to aid prototyping includes economical STM32 Nucleo
boards, easy-to-use Discovery Kits, and fully featured evaluation
boards.
Microsoft Azure RTOS can be accessed through STM32Cube tools.
The X-CUBE-AZRTOS-H7 software pack is compatible with STM32CubeMX
and STM32CubeIDE, thus enabling direct graphical configuration of
the Azure RTOS middleware stacks, and comes with an extensive list
of application examples for ST’s NUCLEO-H723ZG, STM32H747I-DISCO,
STM32H743I-EVAL and STM32H735G-DK boards.
The Azure RTOS suite brings together essential components that
facilitate creating reliable and energy-efficient smart objects.
These include the Azure RTOS ThreadX real-time operating system,
which has a compact memory footprint suited to resource-constrained
applications, and the FileX fault-tolerant file system that
supports diverse storage media including RAM, Flash, and removable
media. Industrial-grade TCP/IP networking stacks and a USB stack
are also provided.
Robust cyber-protection built into Azure RTOS includes Common
Criteria (CC) EAL4+ certified IP layer security (IPsec) and socket
layer security (TLS and DTLS) protocols and a FIPS 140-2 certified
software cryptographic library. Safety pre-certifications including
IEC 61508 SIL4, IEC 62304 Class C, and ISO 26262 ASIL-D are also
available directly from Microsoft.For further information and links
