STM32H7 MicroMod?

[jdowney]

Any chance SparkFun will build a MicroMod processor board with the STM32H7? Would love to get to use that processor with the micromod system.

Would love to see:

• Hardware debug (JTAG / SWD)
• Dual-core version

There’s always a chance! The more traction this post gets the better the odds become

For those considering joining in on expressing their enthusiasm for this micromod processor board, consider the following…

• The STM32H7 supports double-precision floating point math and DSP operations
• Clock speeds up to 550 MHZ (single-core) and 480/240 MHz (dual core)
• The STM32H7 can drive TFT LCD screens up to significant resolution with 2D DMA, hardware that supports JPEG compression and decompression
• Doom and Quake have been ported to the STM32H7
• Unlike Teensy, real-time debug & trace are available
• Unlike Teensy, you get access to widely used STM32 peripherals
• Potential for dual core M7/M4 operations which could include running MicroPython on the M7 and low-level HW drivers on the M4

Absolutely! The STM32H7 is a powerful board with some impressive features. The dual-core setup is a game changer, especially for those looking to run complex applications like MicroPython alongside hardware drivers. Plus, the real-time debug and trace capabilities are a huge advantage over Teensy, making it easier to troubleshoot and optimize your projects.

The support for high-resolution TFT LCD screens and the built-in hardware for JPEG compression really open up possibilities for graphics-intensive applications. And the fact that classic games like Doom and Quake have been ported to it just adds to its appeal! It’s exciting to see such versatility in a micromod processor. Can’t wait to see what projects everyone comes up with!
