The ISPU is a digital signal processor (DSP) core within the sensor ASIC that developers can customize to suit their application requirements. For instance, if your application needs "always-on" capability with low power, the ISPU can keep the main MCU in standby mode and wake up the system only when specific conditions are met. The wake-up logic can be as simple or complex as needed.
If you want to offload the host MCU and save its computational power for more complex tasks, the ISPU core allows you to move the processing, signal conditioning, feature extraction, and fusion to the sensor itself. This approach can also minimize latency because there is no delay in transmitting data to the host MCU.
In this workshop, you'll discover which sensors come equipped with ISPU and explore the various ecosystem tools and examples available from ST. These include:
This workshop is self-paced and can be accessed on-demand any time after the start of the selected session. However, please note that the live technical support (via online break-out rooms) is available only during the scheduled session hours listed in the table below.
This workshop is intended for engineers who wish to gain quick proficiency in working with an ISPU-equipped sensor and learn how to take full advantage of the DSP core.
This workshop is open to residents of the US, Canada, and Mexico only.
STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with STM32L476RG MCU (NUCLEO-L476RG), a MEMS expansion board (X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3) and an ISM330ISN DIL24 evaluation kit with embedded ISPU (STEVAL-MKI233KA) are required to perform the lab exercises.
Registrants of this workshop can buy these boards from the ST eStore with free shipping. You will receive a coupon code and purchase instructions by email soon after we receive your request to participate.
This hands-on workshop is a working session and requires a computer running the 64-bit version of Windows® 10 or higher. Administrator rights are needed for software and driver installation. In addition, you will also need one each of the following:
We recommend using two screens so that you can watch, pause, and rewind the instruction video on one screen while completing the workshop tasks on the other.

The NUCLEO-L476RG STM32 Nucleo-64 development board provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes by choosing from the various combinations of performance and power consumption features offered by the STM32 microcontroller. For compatible boards, the external SMPS significantly reduces power consumption in Run mode. The ARDUINO® Uno V3 connectivity support and ST morpho headers allow easy expansion with a wide choice of specialized shields.
The X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 expansion board for STM32 Nucleo is a motion MEMS and environmental sensor evaluation board compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector layout. It features the LSM6DSO 3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope, the LIS2MDL 3-axis magnetometer, the LIS2DW12 3-axis accelerometer, the HTS221 humidity and temperature sensor, the LPS22HH pressure sensor, and the STTS751 temperature sensor. The X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 interfaces with the STM32 microcontroller via the I²C pin, and it is possible to change the default I²C port.
The STEVAL-MKI233KA evaluation kit consists of the STEVAL-MKI233A main sensing board, with a square PCB, which mounts the ISM330ISNTR 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope with embedded ISPU, the STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 adapter board, and a flat cable. The ISM330ISNTR is located in the center of the board. The STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 can be plugged into a standard DIL 24 socket. The kit provides the complete ISM330ISNTR pinout and comes ready-to-use with the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD power supply line.
