Functional description of the STM32H745I-DISCO 

 

demonstration modules

The STM32H745I dual core Discovery board demonstration aims to highlight the dual core 
aspects and the analog features of the STM32H745I dual core device.

The Demonstration is based on a main menu that is usable to switch between:

•

Oscilloscope and signals generator application

•

EEMBC

®

 CoreMark

®

 application (provided in binary format)

•

System information display

9.1 

Main graphical interface

Overview

The main graphical interface of the demonstration allows the user to select the application to 
launch. Here it is possible to run the Oscilloscope, the EEMBC

®

 CoreMark

®

 applications or 

display the system information.

Content

The graphical interface contains three buttons to select by the user:

•

Oscilloscope and signals generator

•

EEMBC

®

 CoreMark

®

 benchmark

9.2 System 

information

The system information shows the main demonstration information such as the board name, 
the used device part number, the CPU speeds and demonstration firmware version.
