STM32CubeF0

Description

STM32Cube is an STMicroelectronics original initiative to improve designer productivity significantly by reducing development effort, time, and cost. STM32Cube covers the whole STM32 portfolio.

STM32Cube includes STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows the generation of C initialization code using graphical wizards.

It also comprises the STM32CubeF0 MCU package composed of the STM32Cube hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and the low-layer (LL) APIs, plus a consistent set of middleware components (RTOS, USB, FAT file system, graphics, and STM32 touch sensing). All embedded software utilities are delivered with a full set of examples running on STMicroelectronics boards.

The STM32Cube HAL is an STM32 embedded software layer that ensures maximized portability across the STM32 portfolio, while the LL APIs make up a fast, light-weight, expert-oriented layer, which is closer to the hardware than the HAL. HAL and LL APIs can be used simultaneously with a few restrictions.

Both the HAL and LL drivers have been developed in compliance with V‑Model requirements for design, implementation, and tests. Furthermore, the STMicroelectronics-specific validation process adds a deeper qualification level, such as compliance with MISRA C®:2004 guidelines, and elimination of possible runtime errors with the CodeSecure® CodeSonar® static analysis tool. Reports are available on demand.

STM32CubeF0 gathers in one single package all the generic embedded software components required to develop an application on STM32CubeF0 microcontrollers. Following the STM32Cube initiative, this set of components is highly portable, not only within the STM32CubeF0 series but also to other STM32 series. In addition, the low-layer APIs provide an alternative, high-performance, low-footprint solution to the STM32CubeF0 HAL at the cost of portability and simplicity.

HAL and LL APIs are available under an open-source BSD license for user convenience.
