7. Minor release updates[edit source]
STMicroelectronics regularly delivers corrections through github® components which are u-boot, optee-os, tf-a, Linux kernel.
You can decide to incorporate them into your developer package (please refer to STM32MP1 Developer Package) or Distribution package.
For updating Distribution package please proceed as follow:
- Switch to github® mode your Distribution package
- Use the command devtool modify <recipe name> to have direct access to source code git used by build process
- In source code just extracted, use git command as git checkout -b WORK <github® TAG> to points on new revision of component
More rarely and independently, STMicroelectronics also delivers fixes on layers through github®. These changes can be integrated (via git commands) into your local STM32MP1 Distribution Package environment. Please find below the github® links of the quoted layers :
7.1. v1.0.1[edit source]
OpenSTLinux updates v1.0.1
STM32CubeMP1 updates v1.0.1
7.2. v1.0.2[edit source]
7.3. v1.0.3[edit source]
7.4. v1.0.4[edit source]
7.5. v1.0.5[edit source]
