DTS internal peripheral

Applicable for

STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines

---

1. Peripheral overview

The DTS peripheral is used to monitor the device temperature and take some preventive action (like frequency scaling or peripheral disabling) in case it is becoming too high and before destroying the component.

1.1. Features

Refer to the STM32MP13 reference manuals or STM32MP15 reference manuals for the complete list of features , and to the software components, introduced below, to see which features are implemented.

1.2. Security support

The DTS is a non secure peripheral.

2. Peripheral usage and associated software

2.1. Boot time

DTS is not used at boot time.

2.2. Runtime

2.2.1. Overview

The monitoring is done from the Cortex-A7 non-secure context with Linux^® thermal management framework.

2.2.2. Software frameworks

2.2.2.2. On STM32MP15x lines 

Domain	Peripheral	Software components			Comment
		OP-TEE	Linux	STM32Cube
Power & Thermal	DTS		Linux thermal framework

2.2.3. Peripheral configuration

The configuration is applied by the firmware running in the context to which the peripheral is assigned. The configuration can be done alone via the STM32CubeMX tool for all internal peripherals, and then manually completed (particularly for external peripherals), according to the information given in the corresponding software framework article.

STM32MP13 internal peripherals

Check boxes illustrate the possible peripheral allocations supported by STM32 MPU Embedded Software:

• ☐ means that the peripheral can be assigned (☑) to the given runtime context.
• ⬚ means that the peripheral can be assigned to the given runtime context, but this configuration is not supported in STM32 MPU Embedded Software distribution.
• ✓ is used for system peripherals that cannot be unchecked because they are statically connected in the device.

Refer to How to assign an internal peripheral to a runtime context for more information on how to assign peripherals manually or via STM32CubeMX.
The present chapter describes STMicroelectronics recommendations or choice of implementation. Additional possiblities might be described in STM32MP13 reference manuals.
