13.1.2 Cortex-M7 Peripherals

The processor has the following core peripherals:

• System Control Space (SCS): The processor provides debug through registers in the SCS.
• System Timer (SysTick): The SysTick is a 24-bit timer clocked by the core frequency.
• Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC): The NVIC is an embedded interrupt controller that supports low-latency interrupt processing. Refer to the Nested Vector Interrupt Controller for additional information.
• System Control Block (SCB): The SCB provides system implementation information, and system control. This includes configuration, control and reporting of the system exceptions.
• Memory Protection Unit (MPU): The MPU improves system reliability by defining the memory attributes for different memory regions.
• Floating Point Unit (FPU): The FPU allows typical operations based on floating-point numbers.
