The OpenSTLinux Distribution supports development on the STM32MP1's Cortex-A7 cores and contains important elements that include Linux BSP, kernel, drivers, boot chain, and secure OS (OP-TEE: Trusted Execution Environment).
To optimize development at each stage of a project, three developer software packages let users select the supports that best meet their needs:
- Starter Package (STM32MP1Starter) to quickly and easily start with any STM32MP1 microprocessor device
- Developer Package (STM32MP1Dev) to add your own developments on top of the STM32MP1 Embedded Software distribution
- Distribution Package (STM32MP1Distrib) to create your own Linux® distribution, your own Starter, and your own Developer packages
To help customers accelerate development of secure Linux-based products with STM32MP1 MPUs, ST has worked with open-source software provider Timesys. "We are pleased to partner with STMicroelectronics for STM32MP1 Series MPUs to provide the tools customers need to accelerate development of more secure Linux-based products," said Atul Bansal, Timesys CEO. "The extensive STMicroelectronics investment in mainlining STM32MP1 series Yocto BSPs and integration of meta-timesys enables customers to reduce the amount of time spent managing vulnerabilities."
ST's commitment to rich software support, which includes the STM32CubeMP1 firmware package, distinguishes the STM32MP1. STM32CubeMX facilitates software and hardware configuration of both the Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores. It handles C-code generation for the M4 core, DDR SDRAM interface configuration, and tuning tool. It can also generate Linux Device trees.
ST further supports customers with a selection of community boards, and System on Module (SOM) boards from third parties.
