STM32MP2 MPU, 64bit processing and edge AI acceleration
Supports rapid development and secure provisioning by leveraging the STM32 ecosystem

STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has introduced its new STM32MP2 series, a second-generation industrial microprocessor (MPU) that will drive future developments in smart factories, smart healthcare, smart buildings, and smart infrastructure.

On the 19th, ST held a press conference at the Gangnam Novotel Ambassador and introduced new STM32 products and solutions.

Hyundai ST Korea GPM Division Marketing Manager introduced the STM32MP2, which will be in mass production in June 2024, explaining that it drives the next-generation equipment that builds the foundation for the evolving digital world.

These devices include industrial controllers and machine vision systems, scanners, medical wearables, and data aggregators.(Data Aggregator), network gateways, smart home appliances, industrial and home robots, etc.

The STM32MP2 MPUs are ST’s first MPUs to incorporate a 64-bit Arm Cortex®-A35 CPU, boosting main processing performance over the first-generation STM32MP1 devices.

The high efficiency of these MPUs actually allows system designs to be designed without active cooling, resulting in smaller size, quieter operation, superior reliability, and reduced power consumption.

The 3D GPU supports displays up to 1080p and also has powerful multimedia capabilities including a full HD video pipeline based on parallel LVDS and DSI interfaces.

Support for cutting-edge machine vision applications is also enhanced through ISP and MIPI CSI-2 camera interfaces.

Additionally, more powerful industrial interfaces are supported, including up to three Gigabit Ethernet ports with a two-port switch and Ethernet TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking).

PCIe Gen2, USB 3.0, and three CAN-FD interfaces allow for easier integration into a variety of communication and control applications.

STM32MP2 MPUs are designed to support demanding, time-sensitive workloads, AI inference, and communications, along with state-of-the-art cybersecurity features, and are built to operate continuously for up to 10 years.

The state-of-the-art security features in the new STM32MP2 devices include ST’s proprietary security hardware, tamper-proof control, firmware protection, and secure provisioning, working together with Arm®’s TrustZone® architecture to keep critical data and keys confidential.
/> STM32MP2 MPUs are SESIP Level 3 certified, the industry-leading security testing methodology for IoT devices and regulatory compliance, and can meet increasingly stringent cyber-protection requirements in key regions worldwide.

These include the US CyberTrust Mark, which will become mandatory in 2025, and the EU's Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

“ST’s embedded MPUs are poised to address the growing demands for faster response and increased efficiency from smart devices deployed at the IoT edge,” said Stephane Henry, General Manager of ST’s General Purpose MPU Division. “Our new STM32MP2 devices extend this performance range by adding our most powerful processing engine and Edge AI, while accelerating product development with support from the STM32 ecosystem.”

“With ST, ISEO has solved the problem of connecting devices to the cloud, and our product is shaping the future of access management, from remote unlocking to granting new access rights,” said Marco Temporiti, R&D Software Manager at ISEO. “By leveraging the STM32MP2 microprocessor with its strong cryptographic capabilities, we have been able to implement industrial-grade gateways with unprecedented reliability and security.”

“Seamless integration with Yocto Linux streamlines the development process and makes it easier to innovate, while ST’s 10-year product longevity commitment sets a new industry benchmark by ensuring long product life cycles at an economical cost,” he continued.
