How to evaluate the STM32MP1 platform
I wanted to find out, what it does mean to master the new STM32MP1 platform from the SW development perspective.
I am very familiar with software development for the STM32 Cortex MX Cores and using the IAR Embedded Workbench under Windows.
I have the STM32MP15X-EVAL evaluation board on my desk and I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 on VM-Ware. Then I went trough the getting started material from ST, where the download and debug of a Cortex M4 application is addressed.
and I am able to compile the Cortex M4 demo application OpenAMP_TTY_echo. Then I want to download this application to the evaluation board. Doing so I get the error message from System Workbench for STM32 "The selected serial device is not available anymore".
Googling a little bit around to solve my problem, I recognized that there is a System Workbench for STM32, which is recommended in the getting started and that there is a STM32CubeIDE. I am now a little bit confused which IDE I should use for my evaluation of the platform. I want to write a simple application on the A7 and M4 core and I want to test the inter-processor communication between these cores and I want to get a feeling of the user experience of the download and debug environment.
Is there somebody out there, you can provide some hints or guidelines how can I obtain these goals as fast as possible ?
Looking forward to a well beloved answer
