This post describes simple steps to make the STM32H7 work with SDCARD. I have used STM32Cube to set up the BSP for the project. It uses the library FatFS as its FAT files system at the top of the driver level. The firmware for drivers is also taken from the STM32Cube. Emphasis for SDCARD setup Select external transceiver to “yes” if the board has one. External transceivers are translating between 1....
Low Level Debug of STM32MP15c7
Published at June 21, 2021 · 4 min read
Low-level debug of MCU may essential during the bring-up process of a new board. Especially for checking critical components like the DDR. The MCU under debubung is STM32MP157. I strongly based on the yocto build system for the SDK and the compilation and signature of the system. See here and How to configure TF for a manual build of TF-A without yocto. It can be uses the STM32_Programmer_CLI load TSV files into the EMMC....

The Zephyr RTOS is one of the best around. It makes me feel like working on embedded Linux in the sense of device integration, code styling, device tree (DTS), CMake build systems and more. It has many build-in stacks for USB, networking, BLE, file system, boot loader, DFU, and more. Its API reaches and has partial POSIX support with a custom build system that makes tiny footprints. This post is a tutorial on bringing up for STM32 board with USB and USART interfaces....

This post is an example of making a USB device from a Linux embedded machine where any HOST can control it. From Linux documention: Most Linux developers will not be able to use this API since they have USB host hardware in a PC, workstation, or server. Linux users with embedded systems are more likely to have USB peripheral hardware. To distinguish drivers running inside such hardware from the more familiar Linux “USB device drivers,” which are host-side proxies for the real USB devices, a different term is used: the drivers inside the peripherals are “USB gadget drivers....
Simple OpenAMP application for stm32mp157
Published at October 25, 2020 · 3 min read
The stm32mp157 is SOC from STMicroelectronics , and it has within it a dual-core Cortex-A7 MPU and Cortex-M4 MCU. The Cortex-A7 is the application processor that operates Linux, and the Cortex-m4 runs RTOS or bare-metal application. The Cortex-M4 can be used for real-time tasks, such as creating a periodic and accurate control signal without jitter. In this kind of application, the Cortex-aA7 will run the master application and control the application of the Cortex-m4 using RPMsg Messaging Protocol....
