stm32f769-dk linux

[OguzhanBalci]

My goal is to install linux on the stm32f769-dk board.

I have no such experience before.

I compiled the build kernel with buildroot and installed it on the board.

 

Linux worked but the only problem is that buildroot should normally load the image to the screen on the board. I

played around a bit and found that buildroot uses the otm8009 driver but I have the nt35510.

 

Actually linux has the nt35510 driver in the source code.

path : (source code root)/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-novatek-nt35510.c

 

I have no idea how to use this driver in u-boot or buildroot.

Why? It's not suitable. 

Perhaps ucLinux, but again why? Thought of a RPi or similar board?

@OguzhanBalci have you looked at ST's range of MPUs? That'd be place to go if it's Linux you want:

Addendum

Why you (almost certainly) want an MPU - not an MCU:

Hello,

You mean uc-Linux and not Linux (as stated above) as the latter needs MMU to run.

Emcraft offers uc-Linux version running on STM32F769-Disco board. Have a look at that link.

Otherwise STM32MPXX devices run natively Linux.

-I have a car with a flat tire. How can I fix the tire?
-Why don't you buy a BMW, it's much better.

@OguzhanBalci you seem to have deleted it now, but you made the analogy:

 

---

- I have a car with a flat tire. How can I fix the tire?

- Why don't you buy a BMW, it's much better.

That really isn't an appropriate metaphor.

 

What you're asking is more like saying, "How can I install a 5th wheel on my Mini, so that I can pull a 42-ton semi-trailer?"

 

You really can't do that - the vehicle is just not suitable for that task.

 

 

So you have 2 choices:

1. Keep the mini, but find a more realistic trailer
   
   
   
2. If you must tow that trailer, find a suitable tractor unit

If you need to use this specific buildroot, you can contact its developer.
