1 July 2017 DocID026464 Rev 91/261UM1779 User manualGetting started with STM32 CubeF0 for STM32F0 SeriesIntroductionSTMCube is an STMicroelectronics original initiative to ease developers life by reducing development efforts, time and cost. STM32 Cube is the implementation of STMCube that covers STM32 Version includes: The STM32 CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows the generation of C initialization code using graphical wizards. A comprehensive embedded software platform, delivered per series (such as STM32 CubeF0 for STM32F0 Series): The STM32 Cube HAL, an STM32 abstraction layer embedded software ensuring maximized portability across STM32 portfolio. The HAL is available for all peripherals The low-layer APIs (LL) offering a fast light-weight expert-oriented layer which is closer to the hardware than the HAL.

2 The LL APIs are available only for a set of peripherals. A consistent set of middleware components such as RTOS, USB, STMT ouch , FatFS and Graphics All embedded software utilities coming with a full set of user manual describes how to get started with the STM32 CubeF0 firmware package.

In line with the STMCube initiative, this set of components is highly portable, not only within STM32F0 Series but also to other STM32 is fully compatible with STM32 CubeMX code generator that allows generating initialization code. The package includes low-layer (LL) and hardware abstraction layer (HAL) APIs that cover the microcontroller hardware, together with an extensive set of examples running on STMicroelectronics boards. The HAL and LL APIs are available in open-source BSD license for user package also contains a set of middleware components with the corresponding examples.

It is composed of two parts: ComponentThis is the driver relative to the external device on the board and not to the STM32.]]

8 The component driver provide specific APIs to the BSP driver external components and could be portable on any other board. BSP driverIt allows linking the component driver to a specific board and provides a set of user-friendly APIs. The API naming rule is BSP_FUNCT_Action().Example: BSP_LED_Init(), BSP_LED_On()The BSP is based on a modular architecture allowing an easy porting on any hardware by just implementing the low-level Hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and low-layer (LL)The STM32 CubeF0 HAL and LL are complementary and cover a wide range of applications requirements: The HAL drivers offer high-level function-oriented highly-portable APIs. They hide the MCU and peripheral complexity to end HAL drivers provide generic multi-instance feature -oriented APIs which simplify user application implementation by providing ready to use process.

9 As example, for the communication peripherals (I2S, ), it provides APIs allowing initializing and configuring the peripheral, managing data transfer based on polling, interrupt or DMA process, and handling communication errors that may raise during communication. The HAL driver APIs are split in two categories: Generic APIs which provides common and generic functions to all the STM32 Series Extension APIs which provides specific and customized functions for a specific family or a specific part number. The low-layer APIs provide low-level APIs at register level, with better optimization but less portability. They require a deep knowledge of MCU and peripheral LL drivers are designed to offer a fast light-weight expert-oriented layer which is closer to the hardware than the HAL. Contrary to the HAL, LL APIs are not provided for peripherals where optimized access is not a key feature , or for those requiring heavy software configuration and/or complex upper-level stack (such as USB).

10 The LL drivers feature : A set of functions to initialize peripheral main features according to the parameters specified in data structures A set of functions used to fill initialization data structures with the reset values corresponding to each field Function for peripheral de-initialization (peripheral registers restored to their default values) A set of inline functions for direct and atomic register access Full independence from HAL and capability to be used in standalone mode (without HAL drivers) Full coverage of the supported peripheral Rev 99/26UM1779 STM32 CubeF0 architecture Basic peripheral usage examplesThis layer encloses the examples build over the STM32 peripheral using only the HAL and BSP Level 1 This level is divided into two sub-layers: Middleware components Examples based on the middleware Middleware componentsThe middleware is a set of libraries covering USB Device Libraries, STMT ouch touch sensing, STemWin, FreeRTOS and FatFS.
