 Inside the Embedded software
STM32Cube ecosystem STM32Cube Embedded Software offers a complete development tool with
a multi-layered architecture
From low-level drivers to application-specific, high-level solutions, STM32Cube embedded software aims
at delivering all the necessary software bricks required to design a wide variety of applications on STM32
MCUs and MPUs while maintaining software compatibility and API consistency.
To achieve this goal and ensure project portability, flexibility and scalability, STM32Cube embedded
software is divided in two STM32Cube MCU/MPU Packages and STM32Cube Expansion Packages.
