How STM32MP135 Embedded CPU Module Boosts Charging Pile

Charging piles are becoming an essential part of the machinery used to charge electric vehicles (EV) due to the growing popularity of EV and growing environmental concerns. The sector is expanding quickly, and there are many consumer uses for these items, which is driving up demand. Therefore, the function, reliability, safety, and other requirements of the product have become particularly important. But the use of traditional microcontroller products can not meet the demand for smart control of the charging pile. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the charging pile solution based on MYIR’s STM32MP135 System-On-Module.

Secure encryption for data protection

The security of charging piles is of paramount importance as a device that uses high-voltage electricity. The STM32MP135 chip offers a wide range of security features, including hardware encryption engine, secure boot, curing boot, and external access control. These components help to protect the charging pile against different attacks, as well as ensure user safety and data integrity.

Low-power design to reduce energy consumption

Optimization of energy usage is essential as EV charging piles need to be operated for an extended period and consume a significant amount of power. In order to prolong the working life of the charging pile and reduce energy consumption, the STM32MP135 chip has a low power feature that automatically adjusts the power consumption according to the demand.

Flexible software support

An extensive set of software support and development tools, including design boards, Linux OS, and development environments are provided by ST. These tools make it possible to rapidly and effectively create and debug applications for charging piles.
