STM32H5E4/E5/F4/F5 with PLAY: boards availability?

[waclawek.jan]

A new STM32 sub-family (as part of the 'H5 family) came out. They have everything but the kitchen sink. As far as I can tell, 'H5E4 and 'H5E5 differ only in that the higher one has USB-HS with PHY (the 'H5Fx are crypto-enabled variants, as usually)

What's new is also the PLAY peripheral, which is a small programmable logic element, fully documented and configurable through registers. It's based around 16 simple logic elements (4-input LUT and an optional register), complete with an extensive input multiplexer matrix+filter, interconnected to a variety of peripherals (timers, DMA, ADC...) and also GPIO.

I wonder, if there's a Disco around...

I don't see the PLAY mentioned on the STM32H5E4/5F4 or STM32H5E5/5F5 pages ?

 

PS: 

But I do see it in DS14972 (STM32H5Fxxx) and RM0517 (STM32H5E4/5F4 and STM32H5E5/5F5), both at Rev 1.

Haven't checked any others yet ...

 Will be escalated.

Thanks for the info, very interesting.

Just checking the RM.

Could be a few more gates and FFs for me to replace a Spartan 6 ... :D

But going into the right direction for my taste!

There will be one Discovery board and one NUCLEO board ;).. Stay tuned.

You can use the latest version of CubeMx and use the board selector:

And an App Note ... ?

Of course like usual for any new STM32 series.. and a dedicated application note will be also available for PLAY.

Is there a simulator for this? I'd love to play with it without hardware.
I'd love to try to generate custom waveforms, hardware acceleration for certain operators, custom communication peripherals, etc.

It seems fairly simple - not sure it would warrant a simulator ... ?

For unit tests. Feed it test signals and see if you get the desired output. 
A simulator would not be hard to make, but if it already exists I wouldn't want to make one.

The wiki Getting started with Programmable Logic ArraY (PLAY) is now released.

The URL is still case-sensitive:

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/Getting_started_with_Programmable_Logic_Array (lowercase 'y' at the end) gives this:

Just checked Getting started with Programmable Logic ArraY (PLAY) - stm32mcu .

Then had a look at Logisim and watched the video (linked at the bottom of the "getting started" page) which showed me quite a lot of what and how PLAY can do:

Well, not bad for a start, still I'd like to have even more gates and FFs... :D
