The **STM32CubeF7 MCU Package** projects are directly running on the STM32F7 series boards. You can find in each Projects/*Board name* directories a set of software projects (Applications/Demonstration/Examples).
## Some middleware libraries and projects are unavailable in this repository
In this repository, the middleware libraries listed below **along with** [this](Projects/README.md#list-of-unavailable-projects) list of projects (demos, applications, and examples) using them, are **not available** as they (the middleware libraries) are subject to some restrictive license terms requiring the user's approval via a "click thru" procedure.
* `./Middlewares/ST/STM32_Audio`
* `./Middlewares/ST/STemWin`
* `./Middlewares/ST/TouchGFX`
If needed, they can be found inside the full firmware package available on our website `st.com` and downloadable from [here](https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/mcu-mpu-embedded-software/stm32-embedded-software/stm32cube-mcu-mpu-packages/stm32cubef7.html#get-software).

#### Notes
* The latest version of this firmware available on GitHub may be **ahead** of the one available on [st.com](https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32-32-bit-arm-cortex-mcus.html) or via [STM32CubeMX](https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubemx.html). This is due to the **rolling release** process deployed on GitHub. Please refer to [this](https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube_MCU_Overall_Offer/discussions/21) post for more details.
* Option `--depth 1` specified in instruction (4) above is **not** mandatory. It may be useful to skip downloading all previous commits up to the one corresponding to the targeted version.
* If GitHub "Download ZIP" option is used instead of the `git clone` command, then the different submodules have to be collected and added **manually**.
