STM32 Functional Safety Package Manuals

ST provide Functional Safety Manuals to achieve IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level certification for their STM32 devices, Self-Test libraries (X-CUBE-STL), FMEA and FMEDA. Following the STM32 safety manual and then integrating SAFERTOS provides a robust and safety critical platform to base your next design on. The STM32 safety manuals detail a list of safety requirements and examples to guide STM32 users to achieve Safety Integrity Level 2/3 according to IEC 61508. They are available for the STM32F0, STM32F1, STM32F2, STM32F3, STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32H7, STM32L0, STM32L1 and STM32L4 Series.

    • Dual watchdogs
    • Backup clock circuitry with clock security system
    • Hardware CRC unit / Programmable polynomial
    • Supply monitoring
    • I/O function locking
    • PWM critical register protections
    • Memory Protection Unit
    • Multiple Flash memory protection levels
    • PWM stop on core lockup
    • Parity bit for SRAM
    • Flash ECC

Secure Firmware Update

ST’s Secure Boot (SB) and Secure Firmware Update (SFU) solution allows the update of the STM32 microcontroller built-in program with new firmware versions. The update process is performed in a secure way to prevent unauthorised updates and access to confidential on-device data.

In addition, ST’s Secure Boot (Root of Trust services) checks and activates STM32 security mechanisms, which confirms the authenticity and integrity of user application code before every execution, ensuring that invalid or malicious code cannot be run. Key Features include:

  • Secure Boot / Root of Trust;
  • Safe and Secure Firmware Update;
  • AES-GCM symmetric cryptography scheme;.
  • Secure Engine Services.

STM32Cube Ecosystem

The STM32CubeMX is a software tool able to generate initialisation C-code for STM32 MCUs based on a graphical user interface. The STM32Cube includes the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and Low-Layer (LL) APIs for the STM32 peripherals, Middleware and RTOS components. FreeRTOS comes pre-installed within the STM32Cube, which allows embedded software projects using FreeRTOS to be automatically created. These software projects can be easily be converted for use with OPENRTOS or SAFERTOS.

STM32Cube consists of (usable together or independently):

The STM32CubeMX, featuring:

      • Configuration C code generation for pin multiplexing, clock tree, peripherals and middleware setup with graphical wizards
      • Generation of IDE ready projects for integrated development environment tool chains
      • Power consumption calculation for a user-defined application sequence
      • Direct import of STM32 Cube embedded software libraries from st.com
      • Integrated updater to keep STM32CubeMX up-to-date

STM32Cube MCU Package including:

    • The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), enabling portability between different STM32 devices via standardised API calls
    • The Low-Layer (LL) APIs, a light-weight, optimised, expert oriented set of APIs designed for both performance and runtime efficiency
    • A collection of Middleware components, including FreeRTOS, USB library, file system, TCP/IP stack, Touch sensing library or Graphic Library (depending on the MCU series)
