STMicroelectronics recently launched a feature-rich STM32H5 microcontroller (MCU) development board. The board is ideal for developing high-performance data processing and advanced security applications. It is suitable for developing a variety of applications, such as smart sensors, intelligent Home appliances, industrial controllers, network equipment, personal electronics and medical equipment.
The STM32H5 microcontroller uses the Arm Cortex-M33 embedded processor core running at 250MHz, and introduces Secure Manager for the first time in the STM32 series, which is a system-on-chip turnkey solution that integrates core security services certified and maintained by ST .
The STM32H573I-DK Discovery Kit is the first STM32H5-based development board that allows developers to fully explore all STM32H5 integrated features, such as analog peripherals, timers, ST ART (Adaptive Real-Time) Accelerator™, media interfaces and math accelerators wait. Developers can use this kit to evaluate the design of smart controllers for industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motor drives, and other equipment. Other potential applications include alarm controllers, communication hubs, and smart lighting controls.
STMicroelectronics STM32H5 Microcontroller Development Board
The STM32H573I-DK Discovery Kit is a multi-functional development board equipped with an STM32H5 microcontroller, color touch screen, digital interface microphone, and network interfaces such as USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi®. In addition, there are audio codecs and flash memory on the board, as well as pin headers for connecting expansion boards and daughter boards.
To simplify the development process, the STM32CubeH5 MCU software package integrates all software components needed to develop applications on the STM32H5, including code examples and application code. The software package is fully integrated into the STM32Cube ecosystem and contains add-on software to assist application development. In addition, STMicroelectronics also provides the MCU configuration and initialization tool STM32CubeMX.
Launched in March 2023, the STM32H5 uses the Arm Cortex-M33 embedded processor core running at 250MHz and is STMicroelectronics’ first microcontroller to support the ST Secure Manager system-on-chip security solution. This MCU integrates Arm TrustZone® security technology with STMicroelectronics’ STM32Trust trusted framework to provide developers with trusted storage, encryption, authentication and update functions. This product also embeds a hardware encryption accelerator with side-channel protection and focuses on market-recognized security certifications, PSA Certified Level 3 and GlobalPlatform SESIP3.
STMicroelectronics has developed the STM32H573I-DK Discovery Kit and examples explaining how to use security services, integrating all necessary software tools and technical support within the STM32Cube development ecosystem. In addition, the discovery kit and the H5 Nucleo development board Nucleo-H563ZI are now available from STMicroelectronics’ eShop and authorized distributors. A few days later, there are also some STM32 IoT cloud solutions becoming available along with this kit.
STMicroelectronics said that the new STM32H5 microcontroller development board will greatly accelerate the development of safe, smart and connected devices. This is great news for developers looking to develop high-performance data processing and advanced security applications. By using the STM32H573I-DK Discovery Kit and the STM32Cube ecosystem, developers can more easily explore and exploit the full capabilities of the STM32H5 microcontroller, thereby speeding up their time to market and improving their security.
