This article lists all internal peripherals embedded in STM32MP15 device and shows the assignment possibilities to the runtime contexts for each one of them.
Via this article, you can also access to individual peripheral articles in which information related to the overview and configuration can be found.
1. Internal peripherals overview[edit | edit source]
The figure below shows all peripherals embedded in STM32MP15 device, grouped per functional domains that are reused in many places of this wiki to structure the articles.
Several runtime contexts exist on STM32MP15 device[1], corresponding to the different Arm cores and associated security modes:
- Arm dual core Cortex-A7 secure (Trustzone), running a Secure Monitor or Secure OS like OP-TEE
- Arm dual core Cortex-A7 non secure , running Linux
- Arm Cortex-M4 (non-secure), running STM32Cube
Some peripherals can be strictly assigned to one runtime context: this is the case for most of the peripherals, like USART or I2C.
Other ones can be shared between several runtime contexts: this is the case for system peripherals, like PWR or RCC.
The legend below shows how assigned and shared peripherals are identified in the assignment diagram that follows:
Both the diagram below and the following summary table (in Internal peripherals assignment chapter below) are clickable in order to jump to each peripheral overview articles and get more detailed information (like software frameworks used to control them). They list STMicroelectronics recommendations. The STM32MP15 reference manual [2] may expose more possibilities than what is shown here.

Check boxes illustrate the possible peripheral allocations supported by STM32 MPU Embedded Software:
- ☐ means that the peripheral can be assigned to the given runtime context.
- ☑ means that the peripheral is assigned by default to the given runtime context and that the peripheral is mandatory for the STM32 MPU Embedded Software distribution.
- ⬚ means that the peripheral can be assigned to the given runtime context, but this configuration is not supported in STM32 MPU Embedded Software distribution.
- ✓ is used for system peripherals that cannot be unchecked because they are hardware connected in the device.
Refer to How to assign an internal peripheral to an execution context for more information on how to assign peripherals manually or via STM32CubeMX.
The present chapter describes STMicroelectronics recommendations or choice of implementation. Additional possiblities might be described in STM32MP15 reference manuals.
