STR18STM32 L4/L4+ implementation
This course describe the STM32 L4/L4+ architecture and practical examples

Objectives

  • Understand the Cortex-M4F core, DSP/FPU, and the L4/L4+ SoC.
  • Configure RCC (MSI/HSI16/HSE/LSI/LSE) and PLL; validate prescalers.
  • Use GPIO/EXTI, timers/LPTIM/RTC, DMA/DMAMUX, ADC/COMP/OPAMP/DAC.
  • Apply ultra-low-power modes; measure current and wake latency.
  • Bring up USART/SPI/I²C/SAI/DFSDM (where available).
  • Use SDMMC + FatFS, QSPI/OSPI (variant), USB FS device.
  • Manage Flash, Option Bytes, watchdogs, reset causes, and production checklists.
  • 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.
