The module combines the computing power of the main processor with an M4 MCU subsystem.
The phyCORE-STM32MP15x module is ideal for industrial communication systems, edge computing, factory automation, motor control, and applications that require high reliability.
The basis is the STM32MP15x microcontroller. Up to two Cortex®-A7 cores provide access to open source operating systems (e.g. Linux), while a Cortex®-M4 MCU subsystem leverages the STM32 MCU ecosystem. This allows applications developed for an STM32 MCU to be fully reused and run on the Cortex-M4 core, while the Linux application (eg an HMI) runs on the Cortex-A7.
The phyCORE-STM32MP15x also offers multimedia interfaces (camera, display, etc.) with a 3D graphics unit, an Ethernet PHY and other interfaces for industrial communication, as well as functional security features.
