Secure embedded software for STM32 MCUs connecting to AWS IoT Core
Date: 02/10/2023
STMicroelectronics simplifies the connection of high-performance IoT devices to the AWS cloud with the addition of new software to STM32Cube development tools.
X-CUBE - AWS-H5 expansion by ST enable seamless and secure AWS cloud connectivity, where it is offering collection of libraries and applications for the high-performance microcontroller (HPC) of the STM 32H5 series powered end devices.
This solution uses opensource FreeRTOS and ST’s Secure Manager embedded security software and supports ST's new STM32H5 Discovery kit allowing embedded edge system designers to easily and securely connect their STM32H5-based prototypes to AWS IoT Core.
“The STM32H5 is ready for the next generation of IoT edge devices, bringing the performance to handle complex applications within a tight energy budget,” said Daniel Colonna, STM32 Marketing Director, STMicroelectronics. “The STM32Cube ecosystem helps developers unleash its powerful capabilities, accelerate development, and, with our latest software, connect securely to the powerful storage and data-analytics services in the AWS cloud.”
ST says its latest STM32H5 is one of the most powerful Arm Cortex-M33 MCU series. Devices are programmed with their own immutable identity at the ST factory. Combined with ST’s Secure Manager, this simplifies registering smart devices to AWS cloud and removes the need for costly infrastructure otherwise necessary to keep the identities of IoT objects secret during their production, suggest ST.
You will also be able to provision and manage credentials remotely through third party service providers, during device production and in the field.
Secure Manager’s isolation properties make it possible to protect the IP of multiple owners. This type of IP protection is also referred to as multi-owner IP protection. Secure Manager’s IP isolation properties are part of a complete suite of services that safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of STM32 development, manufacturing and field assets owned by developers and partners.
ST recommends this solution as a perfect fit for edge AI use cases, where models are running on the edge, on devices, protected by the Secure Manager, and further trained and securely updated via the cloud. The STM32Trust TEE Secure Manager makes stronger security simpler.
ST rates STM32Cube’s combination of microcontrollers as a robust and secure platform for creating IoT applications that meet future regulatory and standard requirements. STM32H5 Announced in March 2023 as the successor to STM32Cube, STM32h5 supports Secure Manager for the first time and focuses on PSA certified level 3 as well as SESIP3 certification.
