How Much Flash and RAM Does a TCP/IP Stack Need on STM32?
How much flash and RAM does a TCP/IP stack take on an STM32? We measured it on a bare-metal Nucleo-H723ZG with the Mongoose networking library, with and without TLS. Results: - TCP/IP stack + HTTP server, no TLS: ~36 KB flash, ~10 KB RAM, ~1.6 KB RAM per connection; - With built-in TLS 1.3: ~82 KB flash, ~10 KB RAM, ~14 KB RAM per HTTPS connection; - Ethernet DMA buffers: 12 KB in RAM_D2 (4 RX + 4 TX descriptors), not included above; - Throughput: ~1,600 HTTP requests per second with logging at INFO level. No RTOS, no CubeMX, no lwIP, no mbedTLS. Just a ~200 line handwritten HAL, the Mongoose built-in Ethernet driver, TCP/IP stack and TLS, built with arm-none-eabi-gcc -Os.
STM32 Device Management deep dive: secure OTA, remote control, and health monitor
How to manage a fleet of STM32 devices with the Mongoose networking library and mDash. We take a bare-metal STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG and do three things: 1. Firmware OTA update from the web UI and with curl, then ECDSA-signed firmware that rejects unsigned images; 2. Remote control with custom JSON-RPC functions that you call as a REST API; 3. Health monitor: catch a HardFault, get a crash core file, and get the backtrace in GDB or automatically in mDash. There’s no RTOS, lwIP or mbedTLS in the firmware, and the same steps work on other MCUs and under FreeRTOS or ThreadX.
How to connect STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG to AWS IoT
How to connect an STM32 to AWS IoT Core over MQTT with mutual TLS. We use an STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG and the Mongoose library, with no lwIP, no mbedTLS and no RTOS. The firmware is bare metal, and Mongoose provides the TCP/IP stack, the TLS and the MQTT client.
How to Connect STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG to EMQX
How to connect an STM32 microcontroller to the EMQX MQTT broker over TLS, using the Mongoose networking library. The demo board is an STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG, running bare metal: no RTOS, no lwIP, no mbedTLS. Mongoose provides the TCP/IP stack, TLS and the MQTT client in a single library.
How to Connect STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG to Azure IoT Hub
In this video we connect an STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG to Microsoft Azure IoT Hub using the Mongoose networking library. There’s no Azure SDK and no separate TLS library, just Mongoose and one C file copied from the MQTT client tutorial. The same steps work with STM32CubeMX projects and other microcontrollers supported by Mongoose (ESP32, NXP, RP2040/RP2350 and more).
25000 Websocket messages/second on STM32 Nucleo-H723ZG
How many WebSocket messages per second can an STM32 send? I take a Nucleo-H723ZG (STM32H723, Cortex-M7), run the Mongoose on it, add a WebSocket endpoint and push messages as fast as the board can go. Results, bare metal, no RTOS, no lwIP: ~26,000 messages/second with short (~15 byte) text messages; ~15,000 messages/second with messages 3x longer; zero dropped or throttled messages.

fopen() on STM32H5: LittleFS + Mongoose
How to add a file system to the STM32H5 (Nucleo-H563ZI) using LittleFS on the chip's internal flash. No SD card or external flash is needed. Mongoose retargets newlib's syscalls to LittleFS, so the standard C file API (fopen, fread, fwrite, fclose, remove) works in the firmware just like on Linux or Windows.
Firmware OTA Updates: from blinky to secure cloud updates with digital signing and automatic rollback
In this step-by-step demo, we create a simple STM32 firmware project on a Nucleo-H723ZG development board, integrate Mongoose, connect the device to OTA Manager, upload a digitally signed firmware image, perform a remote update, and verify automatic rollback when faulty firmware is deployed.

Testimonials from Webinars Participants
Our webinars are rated 9 out of 10 by participants. Below, you will find some testimonials:
I really enjoyed the webinar. Interesting, straight to the point, well explained. I wouldn’t provide any feedback to improve, at least for me, it was very useful. I work in the automotive industry and in my project, we use OTA. It was interesting seeing how OTA is implemented in other fields. I am looking forward to new webinars from Cesanta. Thank you.
This is my first time attending the webinar, which is short and direct to the point. This is amazing. Kudos to the team behind this content.
Brilliantly compressed and spot-on on the subject, with demos and enough info to get started. Speaking as an engineer to engineers. Not a sales promotion, thank you for that. Generous sharing makes goodwill for later opportunities anyway. Useful links for more info.
The webinar session was amazing, to say the least. Amazing job done by the embedded team for making Mongoose so seamless/easy to integrate with. Seeing this definitely makes me feel like Embedded Networking is no longer in the Dark Ages!
The webinar was a must-watch. I loved it, and it gave me new things to learn. Thank you.
The webinar presenter did an excellent and informative job! A very practical and useful demo! It is a good aim to make these kinds of things as understandable as possible.
The Embedded aspect was nailed on point! This is probably the quickest setup for a web server that I have seen on another board that is not Espressif based. The abstraction and concise incorporation of Mongoose are extremely compelling to see in real-time.
I was impressed by how straightforward it was to set up. Thanks.
It was a very interesting and informative session. Thanks.
Very interesting - will absolutely try the lib by myself.
I am very thankful to you because you shared your knowledge with all of us.
The content was great!
