DevCon 2020 Presentation: Flexibility and Easy Development with the STM32MP1
Channel: STMicroelectronics
Date: 14/11/2020

A general-purpose microprocessor portfolio enabling easy development for a broad range of applications, the STM32MP1 series is based on a heterogeneous single or dual Arm Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores architecture, strengthening its ability to support multiple and flexible applications, achieving the best performance and power figures at any time. The Cortex-A7 core provides access to open-source operating systems (Linux/Android) while the Cortex-M4 core leverages the STM32 MCU ecosystem.

Developers familiar with the Cortex®-M4 MCU environment will easily find their marks as they will be able to use the same STM32Cube toolset including GCC-based IDEs, STM32CubeProgrammer and STM32CubeMX, which includes the DRAM interface tuning tool for easy configuration of the DRAM sub-system.

When developing for the Arm® Cortex®-A7 core, ST helps eliminate potential roadblocks through the development of its mainlined open-source OpenSTLinux Distribution to ensure that porting application software is fast and easy.
