Sup M3 Custom Firmware Jun 2026

Hi all,

I'm using ST's CubeMX implementation on a F4 discovery board. I use ST's USB middlewares with FreeRTOS.

When I get a special OutputReport from PC side I have to answer nearly immediately (in 10-15 ms). Currently I cannot achieve this timing and it seems my high priority tasks can interrupt the USB callback. What do you think, is it possible? Because it's generated code I'm not sure but can I increase the priority of the USB interrupt (if there is any)?

Thank you, David

10 to 15 ms is very slow, so I'm sure its possible.

Where is the USB callback function called from? If it is an interrupt then it cannot be interrupted by high priority RTOS tasks. Any non interrupt code (whether you are using an RTOS or not) can only run if no interrupts are running.

Without knowing the control flow in your application its hard to know what to suggest. How is the OutputReport communicated to you? By an interrupt, a message from another task, or some other way?

The callback which receive the data from PC is called from the OTGFSIRQHandler (it's the part of the HALPCDIRQHandler function). I think the problem is SysTickHandler's priority is higher than OTGFSIRQHandler and it's cannot be modified, but the scheduler shouldn't interrupt the OTGFSIRQHandler with any task handled by the scheduler. Am I wrong that the scheduler can interrupt the OTGFS_IRQHandler?

Many budget SUP boxes use highly restrictive Actions Semiconductor or Allwinner chips, while others use clones of the famous JZ4770 chip found in premium retro handhelds.

Set your CPU clock speeds wisely. Keep 8-bit systems running at a cool 390MHz to maximize your battery life. Bump heavier 16-bit emulation up to 600MHz for smooth, full-speed gameplay.

Certain developers have successfully ported optimized versions of the software architectures used in higher-end budget devices to the SUP M3 chipsets. These ports offer advanced configurations, retroarch-style menu overlays, and superior button mapping choices. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Improved support for SD cards, making it easier to copy and manage larger ROM collections without the fear of file corruption. Risks and Preparation

Custom firmware, also known as CFW, is a modified version of the device's operating system that offers additional features, improvements, and enhancements not found in the stock firmware. In the case of the SUP M3, custom firmware can unlock new functionality, improve performance, and even add support for new audio formats.

Thank you for the answer, I think I'm a bit confused with the Cortex ISR priorities :-) What I can observe is if I use a much higher osDelay in my high priority task I can respond for the received USB message much faster. This is why I think tasks can mess up with my OTG interrupt.
