STM32MP257 application processors (STM32 MPUs) are based on a dual Arm® Cortex®-A35 cores running at up to 1.5 GHz and Cortex®-M33 cores running at 400 MHz.
They feature 3 Ethernet ports, 3 FDCAN interfaces, H.264 encoding/decoding, a 3D GPU, AI/NN capabilities, LVDS/DSI display interfaces, and security features.
STM32MP257 offers a dedicated evaluation board, the STM32MP257F-EV1, to help you get started with your design.
This product offers advanced edge AI capabilities with its NPU accelerator and provides flexibility in running AI applications on either the CPU, GPU, or NPU. Additionally, this product is designed to support high-end edge computing use cases, such as machine vision, through its multimedia capabilities. All of this is possible thanks to the comprehensive ST edge AI ecosystem.
Applications:
The STM32MP2 series offers general-purpose microprocessors (MPUs) suitable for a wide range of applications across multiple market segments, targeting industrial use.
