Purpose

• This internship project aims to develop and validate comparable embedded application scenarios across different MCU software frameworks for benchmarking purposes.
• The goal is to enable static and functional analysis to highlight strengths and improvement opportunities, supporting strategic decisions for enhancing the ST embedded software ecosystem.

Work to be done / Tasks

• Develop similar scenarios on ST and peer MCU platforms using their embedded software frameworks (implement equivalent application use-cases across platforms).
• Evaluate code quality metrics such as coverage, simplicity, integration, consistency and portability for each implemented scenario.
• Conduct functional testing to assess performance, memory footprint and robustness of the scenarios across different platforms.
• Perform static analysis of codebases and record measurable indicators to compare frameworks.

Deliverables & Reporting

• Compile a comprehensive benchmark report summarizing results, quantitative measurements, insights and concrete recommendations for ST framework improvements.
• Provide comparative tables/graphs showing metric results (coverage, performance, memory usage, portability, etc.) and documented test procedures.
• Include suggested action items and prioritised enhancements for the STM32Cube ecosystem based on the analyses.

Skills & Keywords

• Required/Relevant skills: Embedded C development, static analysis tools, MCU performance profiling, familiarity with MCU software frameworks (STM32Cube and peer frameworks).
• Keywords: Embedded C, Static Analysis, MCU performance, Software Frameworks, Code Quality, Benchmarking.

Context & Impact

• The benchmark will support strategic decisions for ST embedded software ecosystem enhancement by identifying strengths and improvement opportunities across frameworks.
• Work contributes directly to improving quality, portability and robustness of embedded software offerings for STM32 and comparable MCUs.
