USB3DR internal peripheral

Applicable for

1. Article purpose[edit source]

The purpose of this article is to:

briefly introduce the USB3DR peripheral and its main features,
indicate the peripheral instances assignment at boot time and their assignment at runtime (including whether instances can be allocated to secure contexts),
list the software frameworks and drivers managing the peripheral,
explain how to configure the peripheral.

2. Peripheral overview[edit source]

The USB3DR peripheral is used to interconnect other systems with STM32 MPU devices, using USB standard. The USB3DR peripheral is a USB Dual-Role Device (DRD) controller that supports both device and host functions.

USB3DR speeds supported	SS (5000 Mb/s)	HS (480 Mb/s)	FS (12 Mb/s)	LS (1.5 Mb/s)
Host mode
Device mode

USB3DR supports the following PHY interfaces:

USB3DR peripheral PHY interfaces	STM32MP25x lines
UTMI interface connected to internal HS PHY for HS/FS/LS speeds
PIPE interface connected to internal SS PHY for SS speeds

The USB3DR peripheral is fully compliant with

Refer to the STM32 MPU reference manuals for the complete list of features, and to the software frameworks and drivers, introduced below, to see which features are implemented.

3. Peripheral usage[edit source]

This chapter is applicable in the scope of the OpenSTLinux BSP running on the Arm^® Cortex^®-A processor(s), and the STM32CubeMPU Package running on the Arm^® Cortex^®-M processor.

3.1. Boot time assignment[edit source]

3.1.1. On STM32MP2 series[edit source]

The USB3DR peripheral is used by ROM code, FSBL and SSBL in device mode (DFU) to support serial boot for flash programming with STM32CubeProgrammer.

4. Software frameworks and drivers[edit source]

Below are listed the software frameworks and drivers managing the USB3DR peripheral for the embedded software components listed in the above tables.

Linux^®: Linux USB framework
TF-A BL2: USB device framework (drivers/usb/usb_device.c ) and driver (drivers/st/usb_dwc3/usb_dwc3.c )
U-Boot: UDC framework (drivers/usb/gadget/udc/ ) and driver (drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-generic.c )

5. How to assign and configure the peripheral[edit source]

The peripheral assignment can be done via the STM32CubeMX graphical tool (and manually completed if needed).
This tool also helps to configure the peripheral:

partial device trees (pin control and clock tree) generation for the OpenSTLinux software components,
HAL initialization code generation for the STM32CubeMPU Package.

The configuration is applied by the firmware running in the context in which the peripheral is assigned.

For Linux kernel configuration, please refer to USB3DR device tree configuration.
For U-Boot configuration, please refer to Configure USB node in U-Boot.
