STMicroelectronics STM32CubeProgrammer multi-OS software tool

Click2Contact

The latest version of the STM32CubeProgrammer, from STMicroelectronics, gathers the capabilities of multiple device programmers into one universal tool; it is thus designed to make life easier for STM32 microcontroller (MCU) and microprocessor (MPU) users and to strengthen the STM32Cube ecosystem. The product lets users program their devices through any convenient connection, choosing from the MCU’s JTAG or single-wire debug (SWD) pins, a UART, or USB, SPI, I²C or CAN interfaces.

The multi-OS software replaces several tools, including ST Visual Programmer (STVP), DFuSe USB Device Firmware Upgrade programmer, Windows-only STM32 Flash loader and software utilities for use with ST-Link, to deliver maximum flexibility with the benefits of a consistent unified environment. From now on, new STM32 products will be supported only by STM32CubeProgrammer.

Built-in features include the STM32 Trusted Package Creator, which protects OEMs’ intellectual property by encrypting firmware using an AES-GCM key and working with the STM32HSM-V1 companion Hardware Security Module (HSM). The HSM manages authentication and licensing, with counter-limited Secure Firmware Install (SFI) allowing OEMs to restrict the number of devices that can be programmed.

The latest version of the STM32CubeProgrammer can be downloaded free of charge.
