STM32MP15 ecosystem errata sheet

Applicable for STM32MP15x lines


1 Article purpose[edit]

The STM32MP15xx device errata sheet[1] lists the different device limitations and explains the corresponding workarounds (software and/or hardware) if any.

The objective of this article is to explain which of the workarounds, described in this errata sheet, are applicable and implemented in ecosystem release v4.1.0 .

This article lists

  • errata to be workaround by the customers,
  • errata workaround implemented in STM32MPU Ecosystem releases,
  • and errata not applicable in STM32MPU Ecosystem releases.

Errata, present in STM32MP15xx device errata sheet[1] and not listed in this article, have no workaround implemented in STM32MPU Ecosystem releases.

3 Workarounds to implement by customer[edit]

Function Section Limitation Rev.Z OpenSTLinux Distribution.png STM32CubeMP1.png Comment
Arm® Cortex®-A7 core 2.1.1 Memory locations might be accessed speculatively due to instruction fetches when HCR.VM is set A U NA OpenSTLinux distribution does not activate Arm® Cortex®-A7 Hypervisor mode and hence the Virtual Memory second stage of translation.

The customer should implement the workaround if the Hypervisor mode is used in his/her product.

Arm® Cortex®-M4 core 2.2.1 Interrupted loads to SP can cause erroneous behavior A NA U STM32CubeMP1_Package: Limitation only on hand-written assembly code. The customer should implement the workaround in the product assembly code.
2.2.2 VDIV or VSQRT instructions might not complete correctly when very short ISRs are used A NA U STM32CubeMP1_Package provided as example. The customer should implement the workarounds according to the user code and product configuration.
2.2.3 Store immediate overlapping exception return operation might vector to incorrect interrupt A NA U STM32CubeMP1_Package: Minor impact on the system. The customer should implement the workaround according to the MPU configuration.
DDRPHYC 2.4.2 DDR_CLK jitter out of JEDEC requirement for 32-bit LPDDR2/LPDDR3 at low device Tj A U U ST boards use DDR3 instead of LPDDR2/3. The customer should implement the workaround if he uses LPDDR2/3 in his board design.
2.4.3 Data corruption at low device Tj combined with low 32-bit LPDDR2/LPDDR3 I/O supply voltage A U U ST boards use DDR3 instead of LPDDR2/3. The customer should implement the workaround if he uses LPDDR2/3 in his board design.
DMAMUX 2.7.4 Wrong input DMA request routed upon specific DMAMUX_CxCR register write coinciding with synchronization event A NA U STM32CubeMP1_Package: The customer should provide the right DMAMUX signal polarity configuration when calling the HAL_DMAEx_ConfigMuxSync() function provided in STM32CubeMP1_Package Src/stm32mp1xx_hal_dma_ex.c .
FMC 2.8.1 NOR Flash memory/PSRAM incorrect bus turnaround timing A U OpenSTLinux distribution: Delays to applied by customer device tree.
ADC 2.10.4 ADC_AWDy_OUT reset by non-guarded channels A U U OpenSTLinux distribution: The customer should implement this workaround by configuring only ADC channels that are guarded by a watchdog in the device tree.

STM32CubeMP1_Package: The customer should implement this workaround by configuring only ADC channels that are guarded by a watchdog in the application.

2.10.7 ADC ANA0/ANA1 resolution limited when Gigabit Ethernet is used P U U OpenSTLinux distribution: The customer should implement this workaround by limiting the ADC data resolution in the device tree

STM32CubeMP1_Package: The customer should implement this workaround by limiting the ADC data resolution in the application.

2.10.8 ADC missing codes in differential 16-bit static acquisition P U U OpenSTLinux distribution: The customer should implement this workaround by configuring only ADC channels that are guarded by a watchdog in the device tree

STM32CubeMP1_Package: The customer should implement this workaround by configuring only ADC channels that are guarded by a watchdog in the application.

DAC 2.11.1 Invalid DAC channel analog output if the DAC channel MODE bitfield is programmed before DAC initialization A NA U STM32CubeMP1_Package: Both Normal and Sample and hold modes are supported by the HAL drivers. The user should call properly HAL_DAC_Init before HAL_DAC_ConfigChannel to avoid the issue.
LPTIM 2.17.1 Device may remain stuck in LPTIM interrupt when entering Stop mode A NA U OpenSTLinux distribution: The LPTIM interrupt is not used.

STM32CubeMP1_Package: The customer should implement this workaround in MspDeinit().
