6 Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How can I get the STM32 USB-PD library?
The library is provided for free download in a binary format, from www.st.com. The general
application note USB Type-C™ Power Delivery using STM32xx Series MCUs and
STM32xxx Series MPUs (AN5225) describes how to do power delivery with the STM32.
This firmware package for X-CUBE-USB-PD is located also on the gitub server:
https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/x-cube-usb-pd.
I want to use only the USB-C™ feature (cable detachment attachment and cable
orientation). Is this possible?
Yes, this is possible since the CAD (Cable attachment and detachment) module and the PD
communication are driven by two separate processes. You can call only the CAD process to
ensure cable detection.
Does the X-CUBE-USB-PD Expansion Package work on platforms different from
STM32F0?
The core stack is device-independent. The STM32F0 and STM32F4 are supported on the
device part in this delivery.
