STMicroelectronics has created the STM32 Hotspot organization on GitHub, a new place for community members to find professionally developed embedded software projects for STM32 microcontrollers. The STM32 Hotspot contains unproduced code created by ST's in-house engineers, originally written for purposes such as exhibition demonstrations and proof-of-concept models.
Code examples like these would not normally be shared outside of ST. The STM32 Hotspot now makes them available to a wider community of developers, leveraging the extensive amount of STM32 reference code already available to customers to offer even more added value.
Access through a trusted GitHub organization owned by ST assures users of the genuine origin of the software.
Born from practical use cases, STM32 Hotspot designs help accelerate the development of commonly needed functions and reduce engineering efforts and time to market.
The code is ready for free download and distributed under ST's usual commercial licensing terms for direct integration into customers' own applications.
The STM32 Hotspot coexists with ST's main GitHub organization, which provides access to all official STM32 open source software, including the STM32Cube platform and STM32MPU embedded software distributions. Together, the two communities extend support to users of more than 1,200 microcontroller variants of the STM32 family based on Arm Cortex-M embedded cores and the Cortex-A7 MPU core.
