6. Main restriction list[edit source]
Restrictions lists are available in each sub-component release note, accessible from the following chapters in this same article:
Moreover, the software workarounds implemented in the ecosystem to answer to the STM32MPU device errata are listed in STM32MP15 ecosystem errata sheet.
7. Minor release updates[edit source]
STMicroelectronics regularly delivers updates through github® components which are tf-a, u-boot, optee-os, Linux kernel.
You can decide to incorporate them into your developer package (please refer to STM32MP1 Developer Package) or Distribution package (see below).
To update the Distribution package please proceed as follow:
- Switch your Distribution package reference source code to github mode
- Use the command devtool modify <recipe name> to have direct access to the source code git repository used by the build process
- In the freshly cloned source code, checkout the revision you want to start from via git checkout -b WORK <github® TAG>
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. v1.1.1[edit source]
OpenSTLinux updates v1.1.1
STM32CubeMP1 updates v1.1.1
8. Reference documents[edit source]
All the resources for the STM32MP1 Series are in the Resources area of the STM32MP1 Series web page.
The resources below are referenced in some of the articles in this user guide for the STM32MP1 Series.
means that the document (or its version) is new compared to what was delivered for the previous ecosystem release.
