How do I flash OpenSTLinux onto STM32MP151 with eMMC by using STM32CubeProgrammer?

[DMårt]

I have built my own STM32MP15XXAC board from scratch DanielMartensson/STM32-Computer: STM32 Computer were Linux can be deployed onto (github.com)

Instead of SD-card, it has eMMC. Now I want to flash the eMMC with OpenSTLinux. How can I do that with STM32CubeProgrammer?

I find lack of information how to install Linux or other kind of Linux-OS onto eMMC for STM32MP15XXAC.

Hi @DMårt ,

 

It works in the same way as with an SD card, you just have to be sure that the file you're sending is for emmc.

Thank you for your reply.

But where do I start?

I have downloaded the software STM32CubeProgrammer. So now I need some image right or firmware? Where can I find that?

You can adapt the ostl to your physical characteristics, using either 

• the distribution package to use Yocto  : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32MPU_Distribution_Package
• the developer package to use the SDK : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32MPU_Developer_Package 

Then follow this example to flash your EMMC : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Getting_started/STM32MP1_boards/STM32MP157x-EV1/Let%27s_start/Populate_the_target_and_boot_the_image

Hi!

There is no pre-compiled OS image? 

Compile the linux kernel for this processor can take weeks.

Now I have flashed the board. Is this correct?

I did not get any pop-up that saying "Flash complete"
