Differences between HAL_PWR_EnterSTOPMode and HAL_PWREx_EnterSTOPMode

There is hal_pwr.c module, and hal_pwr_ex.c ("Extended") modules

These seem to have equivalent functions, such as

HAL_PWR_EnterSTOPMode

HAL_PWREx_EnterSTOPMode

HAL_PWR_EnterSTANDBYMode

HAL_PWREx_EnterSTANDBYMode

What are the difference between these? Why some pwr functions are separated/duplicated to Extended module?

It seems that Extended module adds Domain information. Can you use non-extended version if you don't beed Domain control?

I don't know the exact answer in your case, but generally, non-Ex functions ought to work towards compatibility between STM32 models/families, i.e. sticking to them is supposed to facilitate portability. The Ex-functions thus handle features which are specific to a given family or model.

Easy enough to inspect:

Looks like the PWREx function can specify the domain. The function notes explain the differences for dual core devices.
