STMicroelectronics Boosts Performance While Enhancing Ecosystem on STM32 Microprocessors - Seite 2

"ST's active participation to the Linux kernel community always impressed us. The simultaneous Linux & STM32MP1 availability made this launch attractive,” said Michael Opdenacker, CEO of Bootlin. “In our opinion, ST understood what the customer’s interests are: mainline versions support of open-source projects, freedom to upgrade to newer versions, zero-cost availability of security updates, community support and security of their long-term investments. By sharing the same open-source DNA, Bootlin is proud to be an ST Authorized Partner and to offer to worldwide customers its engineering and training services on this platform."

On top of the strong software tool offer including STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeProgrammer, the STM32CubeIDE debugger is now available on Cortex M-4 core.

Fast growth in the number of authorized partners greatly expands the customers’ capabilities and speeds their development progress using the STM32MP1 series MPUs. In addition to Embedded Software and Software Development tools, partners can contribute expertise in Training and Engineering Services. ST works with multiple System-on-Module makers, including Phytec, when local support and system flexibility is required.

“By using the extensive graphics capabilities and the numerous interface sets of the STM32MP1 growing family, Phytec's phyCORE-STM32MP1 System-on-Module design with industrial-grade peripheral components is the optimal choice for a wide variety of applications requiring HMI needs as well as real-time interaction with other systems,” said Yves Astein, Product Manager at Phytec. “This PhyCore SOM can reduce complexity in any Embedded Design with long-term maintenance strategies while the excellent relationship with ST team allowed to make the SOM available on time to secure customer design.”

ST also works with System-in-Package maker Octavo Systems for space-constrained application designs.

We, at Octavo immediately knew we had to build an STM32MP1 based System-in-Package. It was designed to simplify the adoption of a microprocessor by leveraging ST’s long successful history of Cortex-M devices. Our OSD32MP1 SiP integrates the STM32MP1, STPMIC1, DDR3, Oscillator and Passives into a tiny 18mm x 18mm package, making the use of a microprocessor as easy and familiar as a microcontroller,” said Greg Sheridan, VP Strategy at Octavo Systems. “Combining OSD32MP1 SiP with the support from the ST Authorized Partner program enables customers to quickly develop products leveraging a powerful microprocessor.”
