Project overview

• This internship (PFE) aims to study and develop advanced incremental programming solutions for the STM32CubeProgrammer tool.
• The trainee will benchmark existing incremental programming solutions and compare them with the current ST solution to identify gaps and improvement opportunities.

Objectives & main tasks

• Define an enhancement strategy for the ST incremental programming solution based on the benchmarking results.
• Design and implement the technical solution to bring STM32CubeProgrammer to the level of the most advanced incremental programming implementations.
• Develop a graphical interface (JavaFX) supporting incremental programming in addition to improving the existing CLI solution.
• Enhance and extend the automatic test suite to cover the new/integrated incremental programming behavior.

Technical environment & keywords

• Technologies and platforms: STM32CubeProgrammer, STM32 microcontrollers, STLink, C++ and JavaFX for GUI development.
• Focus areas: incremental flashing algorithms, firmware update mechanisms, CLI and GUI integration, automated testing for flashing workflows.

Expected deliverables

• A benchmark report comparing existing incremental programming solutions with ST's current implementation, including proposed enhancement strategy.
• Implemented enhancements in STM32CubeProgrammer (code changes, algorithms) and a working JavaFX graphical interface that supports incremental flashing.
• Updated automatic test suite covering the developed features and validation reports demonstrating reliability and performance improvements.

Context & supervision

• Project listed as PFE Book STTunis 2026, identified as Project_ID15.
• The work involves close collaboration with ST teams responsible for STM32CubeProgrammer and firmware flashing/tooling experts.

Skills & candidate profile

• Strong C++ development skills; experience with Java/JavaFX for GUI development is required or highly desirable.
• Familiarity with embedded systems (STM32), STLink, firmware flashing/update procedures and automated testing frameworks is expected.

Notes

• The project includes both CLI and GUI development and requires extending automated tests to validate incremental programming behavior.
• Link to apply is provided separately.
