First steps with STM32MP1

[JTant.1]

Hello everyone.

I am introducing me on this world of multiprocessors, by the moment I only had worked with NUCLEO-F3 boards or similar.

For my new research, I plan to purchase a SOM + Carrier board with the STM32MP157C microcontroller.

My intention is to use Linux or Android, but I have many doubts. The main ones would be,

• Can I mount the operating system on the A7 processors and program the M4 from STM32CubeIDE or Keil or similar? Where can I find out how to do it?
• Regarding OpenSTLinux or Android, is there information about the distribution? Can python 3 run on it?

From now on, thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regard, Juan.

Hello,

welcome to the STM32MP1 world !

You will find many useful information from https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu

Your SOM+Carrier manufacturer will also support you for first steps and their specific board settings.

For using CubeIDE, see https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32CubeIDE

Patrick,

first of all thank you very much for the response and welcome.

Right now I am entering to the links and reading everything you recommend.

Regarding the SOM & Carrier. Do you have a list of preferred suppliers?

The best way would be to buy directly from you, but they do not sell SOM or Carrirer Board right?

Thank you very much.

Greetings, Juan.

Hi,

You can find list of some partners here https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/ecosystems/components-and-modules.html?querycriteria=productId=SC2287$$1=*mp1*&aggOrder=0%7C1%7C2%7C3%7C4#products. There is certainly more valuable products outside this list.

ST only sell/support two type of boards, directly or thru distributors:

• Discovery (STM32MP157A-DK1/STM32MP15C-DK2)
• Evaluation (STM32MP157A-EV1/STM32MP157C-EV1)

I cannot help you more as your development platform should be chosen to fit your requirements (budget, available features, form factor, power supply, debug, etc...).

Patrick,

thank you again for the information.

I will take a look to this partners.

Best regards, Juan.
