STM32MP15 Evaluation boards - required material

This article aims to present the mandatory and optional material needed for an STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board. It is valid both for the STM32MP157A-EV1 and STM32MP157C-EV1 Evaluation boards: the part numbers are specified in the STM32MP15 microprocessor part numbers article.

Warning

To start efficiently the board, it's recommended to go through the Starter Package article relative to your board: Category:Starter Package

Mandatory

PC	Linux or Windows operating systems. See PC prerequisites for more details on the required configurations
STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board (STM32MP157A-EV1 or STM32MP157C-EV1)	High-end development platform for the STM32MP15 microprocessor device including: a MB1262 motherboard a MB1263 daughterboard a MB1230 DSI 720p display a MB1379 daughterboard camera
Power supply	Power supply block (5V, 3A) for the MB1263 daughterboard
MicroSD card	It is populated with OpenSTLinux distribution (Linux software), and provides extra storage capacity. A 2-Gbyte minimum MicroSD card is needed
USB micro-B cable	It connects the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to the PC through the USB micro-B (ST-LINK/V2-1) connector
USB micro-AB cable	It connects the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to an USB OTG device through the USB micro-AB connector

Optional

USB keyboard and mouse	Thanks to the USB type A connectors, the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board can be equipped with a full-size keyboard and mouse
Ethernet cable	It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to a network through the RJ45 connector
RS232 cable	It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to the PC through the UART connector as an alternative of the ST-LINK/V2-1 connection
CAN cable	It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to CAN devices through the CAN FD/TT connectors
Trace cable	It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to an external tool through the Trace connector
JTAG cable	It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to an external tool through the JTAG connector

Optionally, devices and extension boards might be plugged to the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board thanks to connectors such as:

• the Ethernet daughterboard connector
• the GPIO expansion connector
• the Motor control connector
• ...
