Dual-core STM32 hardware support

Hello,

I have been working on a project using the STM32H757XI microcontroller.

I am aware, as stated by the documentation, that dual-core controllers from the STM32H7XX series are not supported, as of today, but a few questions remain :

• When can we expect to see hardware support for dual-core controllers ?
• STM32 dual-core implementation being done by running 2 cores independantly at the same time, is it possible to program only one of the cores through existing MATLAB code generation features ?

Thanks in advance for your insights,

Nicolas

1) Hardware support for STM32H7xx based dual-core boards will be provided in the upcoming release of MATLAB.

2) The existing support for STM32H7xx based single-core boards provided by the Embedded Coder Support Package for STMicroelectronics STM32 Processors could be used to program the M7 core of the STM32H757XI microcontroller. However, do note that this workflow has not been tested.

When can we expect to see hardware support for dual-core controllers ?

• Only Mathwork Staff can tell when they are planning to do so.

STM32 dual-core implementation being done by running 2 cores independantly at the same time, is it possible to program only one of the cores through existing MATLAB code generation features ?

• You can try until unless they have HwID checks in place for detecting officialy compatiable STM32H743/53 series MCU.

Thanks, guess I'll wait for some input from the Mathworks staff.
