STM32CubeL4 MCU Package

The STM32CubeL4 MCU Package runs on STM32 32-bit microcontrollers based on the
Arm® Cortex®-M processor.
The package contains a set of middleware components with the corresponding examples.
They are delivered in very permissive license terms:
• CMSIS-RTOS implementation with FreeRTOS™ open source solution
• FAT file system based on open source FatFS solution
• STMTouch™ touch sensing solution
• STemWin, a professional graphical stack solution available in binary format and based on
our partner solution SEGGER emWin
• USB Host and Device stack supporting many classes
A set of application projects implementing all these middleware components is also
provided in the STM32CubeL4 MCU Package.
