This course describes the STM32L5 architecture

Objectives

  • Understand Cortex-M33 + TrustZone-M (secure vs non-secure).
  • Partition memory/peripherals with SAU/IDAU and GTZC.
  • Bring up Secure + Non-Secure projects and veneers (CMSE).
  • Use RCC, GPIO/EXTI, timers/LPTIM, DMA/DMAMUX, ADC/COMP/OPAMP/DAC.
  • Leverage crypto HW (AES/PKA/HASH/RNG) from Secure world.
  • Apply low-power with TZ, RTC/tickless, and safe wake.
  • Set up boot/Option Bytes (TZEN/RDP/PCROP) and basic TF-M / OEMiROT flow.
  • Build a production checklist (watchdogs, reset logs, tamper).
  • Theoretical course
    • PDF material in English (printed for face-to-face); online over Teams.
    • Trainer assistance throughout.
  • Practical activities (40-50% of duration)
    • Code examples, exercises and solutions.
    • Remote: one online Linux PC per trainee, with emulated or physical board as needed.
    • Face-to-face / on-site: one PC (one per two beyond six trainees), target board and install manual as needed.
  • Downloadable preconfigured VM to redo the labs afterwards.
  • Each session starts with a trainee check-in.
  • Any embedded systems engineer or technician with the above prerequisites.
  • Prerequisites are checked before the training.
  • Progress is assessed by the trainer through the practical exercises, and by quizzes for sections without exercises.
  • Each trainee receives a completion certificate.
  • If a prerequisite gap appears, alternative or additional training is offered.
