Hi,
We are working on a product based on STM32MP157A MPU, As we thinking to update the kernel and QT version, we are looking for next OpenSTLinux 6.0 which supports scarthgap yocto and QT 6.5 LTS. When do we expect this release from ST?

Also, What will be the LTS period of krikstone, mickledore and scarthgap?

Hi @VarunKumar 

As far as I know, OpenSTLinux ecosystem v6.0 is planned in few weeks (I have not the exact date). I confirm it is based on Yocto Scarthgap.

I think support of Qt6.5 is already available with Ecosystem v5.1.0 : https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/meta-st-x-linux-qt/tree/v2.0.0

 

For LTS period of Yocto releases, see https://www.yoctoproject.org/development/releases/

 

Regards.

You can use STM32-OS too, which is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and using less memory compared to OpenSTLinux.

Hi @PatrickF ,

I see that ST has released OpenSTLinux6.0. I still have few questions on QT6.5 release.

  1. I referred to https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/X-LINUX-QT_Expansion_Package and observed that officially from ST it supports to only STM32MP2 boards. can this be supported if build to STM32MP157C Hardware? 
  2. Currently still ST supports only QT5. Any update that officially ST will be supporting QT6.5 by this Q4 year?

Please help with the above questions.

Hi,

sorry for the late answer. Our last STM X-LINUX-QT documentation has been released today:
https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/X-LINUX-QT_Expansion_Package
 

Package 2.1.0 supports Qt6 on MP1 and MP2 families.
