5. Main restrictions[edit source]
5.1. Embedded software[edit source]
5.1.1. OpenSTLinux (Cortex®-A7)[edit source]
- On STM32MP157C-DK2 boards, BT stack does not work any more after suspend / resume in Standby mode (function with Stop mode). This issue is linked to the Murata Wi-Fi/BT module that expects the 3.3 V supply to be kept, while this supply is switched off in STM32MP1 Standby mode. A similar workaround as for Wi-Fi can be used (GitHub patch). it consists in calling BT unbind and bind drivers before and after resume (modprobe -r hci_uart && modprobe hci_uart).
- For DDR initialization in TF-A, it is recommended to set up and enable all "boot-on" and "always-on" regulators at bootloader stage, after DDR power initialization. This is not yet implemented in V1.2.0 delivery. A patch is being prepared and will be available on GitHub.
5.1.2. STM32CubeMP1 (Cortex®-M4)[edit source]
- To avoid errors in OpenAMP when compiling in MDK-ARM IDE, disable the « Use MicroLIB » in « Target » tab.
- The HAL RTC is delivered within this release. However use it with caution since this driver is also used by Linux. To remove any risk of contention between Linux and the HAL, proceed as follows:
- The write protect (wpr) must be disabled by default and it must never be enabled in any driver (Linux nor HAL).
- The HAL must use only Alarm B, since Linux uses Alarm A.
- The RTC interrupt must be shared between Linux and the HAL to be able to receive alarm notifications on both sides.
5.2. STM32CubeProgrammer, Signing tool and Keygen[edit source]
- Flashload through UART fails
- Key generation is not functional with STM32MP_KeyGen_CLI on Linux under Ubuntu 16.04 (functional with Ubuntu 18.04)
5.3. STM32CubeMX[edit source]
- MR0 register for LPDDR settings is not set by STM32CubeMX in the generated device tree. This register must be set manually at 0.
- DDR tuning parameters saving does not work when DDR Test Suite tool is used. Use U-Boot tag v2018.11-stm32mp-r4.1 on top of the ecosystem release v1.2.0
. This tag contains only one patch required by STM32CubeMX v5.6 ("ram: stm32mp1: display result for software read DQS gating"). - Warning: when opening a previous project built with STM32CubeMX version older than V5.6, the migration does not take into account the user section part. This part needs to be updated manually according the Openstlinux-20-02-19 manifest.
5.4. STM32CubeIDE[edit source]
- Using OpenOCD with ST-LINK does not check and force ST-LINK firmware update at debug launch. It is therefore recommended to manually update to the latest ST-LINK firmware for the best debug experience. Use the Help > ST-LINK Upgrade menu"
5.5. Miscelleanous[edit source]
Restriction lists are available in each subcomponent release note. They are available in the following chapters in the present article:
Moreover, the software workarounds implemented in the ecosystem to provide solutions to the STM32MPU device errata are listed in STM32MP15 ecosystem errata sheet.
6. Minor release updates[edit source]
STMicroelectronics regularly delivers updates through the following github® components: tf-a, u-boot, optee-os, Linux kernel.
You can decide to incorporate them into your Developer Package (refer to STM32MP1 Developer Package or Distribution Package below).
To update the Distribution package, proceed as follows:
- Switch your Distribution package reference source code to github mode.
- Use the devtool modify <recipe name> command to have direct access to the source code git repository used by the build process.
- In the freshly cloned source code, check out the revision you want to start from via git checkout -b WORK <github® TAG>.
STMicroelectronics also delivers dedicated fixes on layers through github®. These changes can be integrated (via git commands) into your local STM32MP1 Distribution Package environment. Below the github® links corresponding to each layers:
6.1. v1.2.3[edit source]
6.2. v1.2.2[edit source]
6.3. v1.2.1[edit source]
7. Reference documents[edit source]
All the resources for the STM32MP1 Series are located in the Resources area of the STM32MP1 Series web page.
The resources below are referenced in some of the articles of this user guide.
