IoT Device Prototyping with STMicroelectronics Nucleo Development Boards – Day 3

Middleware components are essential IoT building blocks. STM32 middleware parts and pieces available to us include TCP/IPUSBmicroSD and microcontroller SRAM file systems graphics stacks and RTOS. Middleware components become force multipliers when they are mixed into STM32U5 microcontroller IoT applications. Our lecture time today will be spent exploring middleware that runs on STM32U5 Discovery Kit and NUCLEO-G070RB hardware. The NUCLEO-G070RB is capable of executing FATFs middleware. So, we will go to the bench and fabricate some custom NUCLEO-G070RB microSD interface hardware to take advantage of the FATFs code. The STM32U5 Discovery Kit has a memory resource advantage over the NUCLEO-G070RB. The increased memory size allows the STM32U5 Discovery Kit to run Azure RTOS middleware. With Azure RTOS capabilities immediately available to us threads and what makes them tick are in our future.
