That FPU matters if you are doing sensor fusion, motor FOC, or any real-time math — the hardware divider and SIMD instructions cut the loop time versus a software-emulated float library.
Industrial temperature grade and peripheral set
On the peripheral side you get CAN, I²C, SPI, SSI, UART, IrDA, Microwire, and USB OTG, plus a 12-channel 12-bit ADC. That is enough serial bandwidth to bridge a legacy RS-485 sensor array to a USB host without an extra UART-to-USB bridge chip.
