This article lists all internal peripherals embedded in STM32MP13x lines 
and shows the assignment possibilities to the execution contexts for each one of them.
From this article, you can also access to individual peripheral articles with information related to the overview and configuration aspects.
1. Internal peripherals overview[edit | edit source]
The figure below shows all peripherals embedded in STM32MP13x lines , grouped per functional domains that are reused in many places of this wiki to structure the articles.
Several execution contexts exist on STM32MP13x lines [1], corresponding to the Arm Cortex-A7 security modes:
- Arm Cortex-A7 secure (Trustzone), running ROM code and TF-A BL2 at boot time, and running OP-TEE at runtime
- Arm Cortex-A7 non secure , running U-Boot at boot time, and running Linux at runtime
Some peripherals can be strictly assigned to one execution context, this is the case for most of the peripherals, like USART or I2C.
Other ones can be shared between several execution 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 runtime assignment and Internal peripherals boot time assignment chapters below) are clickable in order to jump to each peripheral overview article and get more detailed information (like the software frameworks used to control them). They list STMicroelectronics recommendations. The STM32MP13 reference manual [2] may expose more possibilities then what is shown here.
2. Internal peripherals runtime assignment[edit | edit source]

Check boxes illustrate the possible peripheral allocations supported by the OpenSTLinux BSP:
- ⬚ means that the peripheral can be assigned to the given runtime context, but this configuration is not supported in OpenSTLinux BSP.
- ☐ 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 OpenSTLinux BSP.
- ✓ 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 possibilities might be described in STM32MP13 reference manuals.
