01Overview

STM32 and ARM Cortex-M MCUs are the heart of deterministic motor control, sensor acquisition, and safety-critical I/O. We architect bare-metal and FreeRTOS systems that squeeze every microsecond from Cortex-M7/M4 cores — from IRQ priority grouping to DMA chain configuration.

02What Spikedge Optimizes

  1. 01NVIC priority grouping: all motor ISRs at preemption group 0
  2. 02DMA chaining: ADC → DMA → processing buffer without CPU involvement
  3. 03HAL replacement: direct register access for interrupt-critical paths
  4. 04FreeRTOS task priority audit: eliminate priority inversion sources
  5. 05CAN-FD / FDCAN configuration for automotive-grade communication

To evaluate your STM32 / ARM Cortex-M needs on your own platform, schedule an embedded architecture audit or scope your platform class with the system requirements calculator.

Sub-5µs IRQ on STM32H7 is achievable

We've done it on motor control systems. Let's profile your interrupt latency and find the ceiling.
