Appendix B: Reference Information

This appendix lists the primary reference-documents for the hardware and the software-tools used in the book, such as user-guides and reference manuals. The primary webpages are also listed on the OEMs’ websites.

This appendix is organized by chapter. Usually, a reference is only listed for the first chapter in which it is cited.

The book’s primary tools are STM32CubeIDE, Ozone, and SystemView. For each tool, its help interface provides links to documentation that is specifically for the tool’s version. This is especially helpful if you’re not using the latest version of the tool. On the tool’s website, it may be challenging to find documentation for prior versions.
