Description
STMCube
™
is an STMicroelectronics original
initiative to make developers' lives easier by
reducing development effort, time and cost.
STM32Cube is the implementation of STMCube
that 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 STM32CubeF7 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 TCP/IP). 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 APIs are production-ready
and have been developed in compliance with
MISRA C
®
:2004 guidelines with some
documented exceptions (reports available on
demand) and ISO/TS 16949. Furthermore, ST-
specific validation processes add a deeper-level
qualification.
STM32CubeF7 gathers in one single package all
the generic embedded software components
required to develop an application on STM32F7
microcontrollers. Following STM32Cube initiative,
this set of components is highly portable, not only
within STM32F7 Series but also to other STM32
Series. In addition, the low-layer APIs provide an
alternative, high-performance, low-footprint
solution to the STM32CubeF7 HAL at the cost of
portability and simplicity.
STM32CubeF7 is fully compatible with
STM32CubeMXcode generator that allows
generating initialization code. The package
includes a low-level hardware abstraction layer
(HAL) that covers the microcontroller hardware,
together with an extensive set of examples
running on STMicroelectronics boards.
HAL and LL APIs are available under open-
source BSD license for user convenience.

STM32CubeF7 MCU Package STM32CubeF7
2/3 DocID027921 Rev 3
STM32CubeF7 MCU Package
The STM32CubeF7 MCU Package runs on STM32 32-bit microcontrollers based on the
Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M processor.
The package contains a set of middleware components with the corresponding examples.
They are delivered in very permissive license terms:
• CMSIS-RTOS implementation with FreeRTOS
™
open source solution
• TCP/IP stack based on open source LwIP solution
• FAT file system based on open source FatFS solution supporting NAND Flash memory
accesses
• STemWin, a professional graphical stack solution available in binary format and based on
our partner solution SEGGER emWin
• Full USB Host and Device stack supporting many classes
A set of application projects implementing all these middleware components is also
provided in the STM32CubeF7 MCU Package.
