Welcome to the STM32 MPU area!

This year, we are demonstrating our second generation MPU, the STM32MP25, that embeds a powerful and efficient dual Cortex-A35, plus a Cortex-M33.
It is built on the strong foundations set by the first generation, meaning it is an industrial-grade microprocessor, with security and even more features.
Four evaluation boards are collaborating behind me to show various AI end applications with object detection, pose estimation and semantic segmentation neural networks.
Let’s move to the three pods that are individually demonstrating the MP25 key features around me.
-----
First, if you are targeting AI use cases and especially computer vision, the MP25 embeds a MIPI CSI-2 camera pipeline with integrated image signal processor.
This enables you to tune the images before sending them to the neural processing unit, also embedded in the microprocessor.
-----
To help customers evaluate the neural processing unit's capabilities, we've added these evaluation boards to our developer cloud, so that it is possible for you to run your neural network directly in our farm.
-----
Second, the networking capabilities: the MP25 embeds an Ethernet switch, and it supports time-sensitive networking.
All in all, this is a lot of CPU processing time saved on packet management and this enables you to reach high determinism for Ethernet data transfer.
-----
Thirdly, we did a step up on the multimedia side of things!
Now, we embed a hardware video processing unit, that allows video encoding and decoding at low power.
And, thanks to its graphic processing unit, we can create great user interfaces in Full HD resolution at 60 frames per second.
This example relies on Qt graphic framework, running on our OpenSTLinux distribution.
-----
For those who want to go with other graphic solutions, you can already contact our partners.
-----
And you can also rely on them for many software and hardware topics.
-----
The STM32MP25 will be in mass production by the end of June this year.
And other family members will follow – with the MP23 which will be in mass production by the end of the year.
Then, the MP21 will be sampling at the same time, for a mass production targeted in the first half of 2025.
-----
And last but not least - last year, I told you that we were preparing a bare metal offer for the STM32MP13.
Well, we have kept our promise since you can see it running here on our graphics wall.
