Hello @RHook.1​ ,

Your question is large so I will try to answer it in 2 steps:

  • First, why using Linux on our MPU ? Mainly because the embedded Linux is asked by the community and our customers as it is more and more used in a lot of different applications today. It fits with a lot of use cases. At the same time, you benefits all the work from the Linux community, on which we also upstream things to always go forward on the different features / drivers / IPs.
  • Now, why specifically OpenSTLinux ? Because to fit with our specific SoCs. Moreover, we also need ST specific drivers, and more generally our specific BSP that we deliver in our OSTL releases. As this distribution is based on mainline kernel, we keep and bring the work from both ST and the community directly in our delivery. ST is also providing support for its own release, to help and follow our customers in their development process.

I hope that this message answers your question.

Kind regards,

Erwan.
