 Hello and welcome to a 10 minute break with ETIA and ST Microelectronics. During this 10 minute session, we will be talking about real-time data processing and data management on the edge with the founder of ETIA, Sasan Montessori and Luik Chassade of ST Microelectronics. My name is Andrew Music and a software engineer at ETIA, but let's jump to the first question. Starting with week, what do you consider an edge device and what important values does ST Microelectronics bring to the edge? So the STM32 is one of the most popular family of 32-bit general purpose microcontrollers with ARM Cortex-M Core. It is now complemented by microprocessors with the STM32 MP1 series with Cortex-A. STM32 can be used in all applications that need power efficiency but that cannot compromise performance. Wireless connectivity and two-hand security or AI at the edge are one of the key growth drivers for our microcontrollers. So talking about IoT, STM32 perfectly matches the need for so-called constraints devices or n-nodes with sensors and actuators. STM32 users need to protect their assets such as their data, their IPs. So they might need to implement a reliable and secure connectivity solution, including device update capability. To answer this, ST has introduced a security framework which is called STM32 trust with 12 security functions that mitigate new vulnerabilities or threats in our embedded system based on STM32 devices. Wow, okay, awesome, great. And so Sasan, what benefits does ETIA bring to the edge devices offered by ST Microelectronics? ETIA DB is designed and architected for device manufacturers building embedded systems with microcontrollers such as STM32 that need to sense, collect and protect data. Data for these embedded systems typically originate from sensors where massive amount of data is produced and raw data analysis is required to understand the real-time state of the system. ETIA DB software empowers applications developed for STM32 devices to monitor, collect, organize and reliably store substantial amount of real-time data. It is a database that is silently embeds inside STM32 devices and empowers the application to make sense of real-time fresh data, the time that is coming in right now. Right now you want to get the state of the data and also you want to be able to go and see what was happening with the trend of the historical data and that's what ETIA brings to STM32 devices. Interesting, but the week I noticed you have 18 different categories of STM32 devices. So how does a customer know which device works best with their application? Indeed, so the STM32 family of microcontrollers and microprocessors offers many devices that address a wide range of applications requiring high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, low power operation and connectivity. So the STM32 family are organized in four sub-families, let's say, so the high performance, the mainstream, the ultra low power and the wireless. More details and documentation in each family and product series can be found on ST.com. To help you make your find the right MCU for your design, you can use the STM32 finder application on your laptop or your mobile phone. The parametric search allows you to filter and navigate the portfolio, select your needs in terms of performance, memory size, peripherals and so on. Your search results will be in keeping with the settings you selected and include the pricing of the devices. Awesome, okay, so Sasan, what kind of memory characteristics does ETIA DB incur on the STM32 platform? When developers select ETIA database and STM32, they have access to database, real-time operating systems, compilers and IDEs available, so they can benefit from a tested development platform and focus on building their own application. With regards to the database, there are important data management criteria such as available ROM and RAM for running the database on the device and they typically need about 150 kilobyte of ROM program flash and about 50 kilobyte RAM, so it's 150K ROM and 50K RAM and depending on the workload, they can store the hundreds of sensors data over high rate. And typically the applications that are built with ETIA DB can read the data with a very low latency and high throughput for exporting large volume of timestamped data. Awesome, great. And Louis, what kind of development software is available for the STM32 customers? So STM32 comes with a comprehensive set of tools and software from ST. STM32 cube is a combination of software tools and embedded software libraries. So software tools address each step of a complete project development cycle, selection, configuration, development, programming and monitoring. Software bricks enable advanced functionalities in STM32 devices and cover also external components or additional middleware thanks to STM32 cube expansion. You can get all this software free of charge from ST.com. There are also available on ST Microelectronics GitHub with the possibility for users to get software components and updates, follow issues, submit problems, propose alternate solutions, new features and get faster updates. Many affordable hardware boards are available to enable fast evaluation and prototyping with STM32 or experiment all these softwares. The STM32 nuclear development boards and discovery kits for flexible prototyping are available online on ST.com. Many partners companies are also contributing to the STM32 ecosystem, bringing their own specific know-how or added value. ITTIA is one of them providing a unique database solution to process and manage data on the edge. Awesome, great. That's great to hear. And Sasan, does Ethia support the development environment offered by ST Microelectronics? And how may customers obtain a license for ITTIA DB on STM32-supported platform? ITTIA DB supports a variety of development environment for STM32 devices including the cube IDE, free RTOS, Azure, Tredex, as well as other custom platforms. There are occasions that manufacturers want to use their own operating system or their own development components and they contact ITTIA to work and support them to offer the right data management or database for their custom STM32 application. And so we work with them and we offer the requirements that they have and in general ITTIA DB is compatible with GNU tool chains, IAR compilers and various file systems available for STM32 as well as we offer developers to write data into raw storage media. We provide C and C++ API to minimize the overhead. And with regards to obtaining the license, they can just simply visit www.ittia.com and go to the evaluation page, include the information and we will get back to them and provide them with the required license so they can start. Awesome. Yeah, that sounds simple enough. Laouique, which markets are targeted by the STM32 family? Many of them. We are currently shipping 1.5 billion devices per year with a total of more than 8 billion now. All these STM32 are going in various applications such as appliance, smart home, wellness, fitness, personal health care, industrial power tools, smart metro ring, factory automation and many others. So I would say STM32 is not qualified for automotive application, but it can really address all kinds of industrial or consumer markets. Wow. Okay. That sounds pretty ubiquitous. Last question, Sasan. What kind of advantages does ITTIA DB offer for the markets targeted by STMACR electronics? With IoT and the new era of modern automation, manufacturers of embedded systems are experiencing new architectural decisions for building applications to really understand and make sense of raw real-time data. And remote sensing is a common example. And these are devices or many devices that are connected to sensors and most remotely sense the environment and report events real-time. And these events include abnormal situations so a device can notify or act. For such a system, data needs to be analyzed. It needs to be filtered and needs to be managed. So we have designed an architected ITTIA DB for such an embedded systems like STM32. We're relating to a variety of markets including transportation, healthcare, robotic, industrial automation and other IoT related markets. Wow. Okay. Well, thank you very much, everybody. I think we can see the value that ITTIA DB brings to STMACR electronics supported platforms. But if you'd like to learn more info, please visit us at www.ittia.com and you can request a session with one of our experts. Thank you very much, everybody.
