Where to start STM32H7 support

[meatball]

So,

The H7 parts will be able to hit 400 MHz. Running ChibiOS on these will be quite fun.

There is 16kb of L1 cache, and basically all-new peripherals. (Pray for a fixed I2C module)

Is support planned for these devices? I'm gauging interest in making HAL extensions for the new peripherals. It should be a fun time.
Will the H7 kernel port be expected to be difficult with the cache in mind?

What's the plan here? Is HAL support in this instance dependent on development from the community? I might start work on the CAN-FD drivers since I'm familiar with CAN. Nucleo baord are in "ACTIVE" status, but not yet available though.

Hi,
we have a couple of them. We are reading the documentation.

Cool, - do you have a board source you're willing to share?

I could do some HAL work on bare-metal in Keil until the kernel port is complete.

Hi,

We have just two, I will ask if it is possible to get more in a reasonable time.

HAL will require a lot of work for this, most drivers are impacted.

Hello,

any (good) news about this H7 support ?

Hi,

I have a pretty good idea of the work involved, I am waiting for OpenOCD support.

Hi Giovanni,

any updates from the H7 front ?

Thanks and kind regards,

Peter.

Hi,

I started committing code already, startup files are there, now I am working on HAL.

The clock tree is different. DMAs are more flexible but different, most drivers will require a specific revision because of this. Cache handling by the application is unavoidable and this will make use harder.

It is a tough nut to crack, do not expect it tomorrow

Hi Giovanni,

thanks for all you can do.

Much appreciated.

Kind regards,
