Hello @AFard.1​ ,

For low performances and bad user experience reasons, ST chose to not support Android on this platform anymore.

Kind regards,

Hello Erwan,

thank you very much for the quick reply,

Actually we are developing a custom hardware based on same soc ​STM32MP157 Arm®-based dual Cortex®-A7 32 bits + Cortex®-M4 as stm32mp157a-dk1 dev board , I want to prepare the android environment for the dev board before doing the bring up of our custom hardware, do you have any suggestions please?

best regards

Hello @AFard.1​ ,

As I said, we will not be able to provide a lot of support on Android. The only little tips that we can give are the ones below:

• Android can only be used for very simple UI, that are not too complex in term of animations etc.
• We recommend a mobile screen size maximum
• We recommend 1GDDR in 32 bits.

Moreover, for security reason, I am not sure that you will be able to boot Android on stm32mp157a. Only c and f should be usable.

I hope that it will help you a little bit in your bring up process.

As mentioned on the wiki, if you need more support, you can contact our partner Witekio.

Kind regards,

Erwan.
