1. Overview[edit source]
This stage explains how to get, install and boot the STM32MP15 Evaluation boards with the Starter Package.
2. Open a terminal[edit source]
Open a terminal on the host computer.
All the commands preceded by have to be executed from the host computer terminal.
- Create your STM32MPU workspace directory on your host computer
mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace
3. Check the host computer Internet access[edit source]
- An Internet access through http and https protocols must be provided.
The command below allows to check for Internet access through http/https protocols:
wget -q www.google.com && echo "Internet access over HTTP/HTTPS is OK !" || echo "No internet access over HTTP/HTTPS ! You may need to set up a proxy."
If an 'OK' message is returned, the network is well configured.
In such case, skip the rest of this section.
Any other likely situation indicates the need for a proxy for http/https protocols.
The best solution to set a proxy for http/https protocols is via the shell variables http_proxy and https_proxy:
export http_proxy=http://<MyProxyLogin>:<MyProxyPassword>@<MyProxyServerUrl>:<MyProxyPort> export https_proxy=http://<MyProxyLogin>:<MyProxyPassword>@<MyProxyServerUrl>:<MyProxyPort>
Check again the Internet access with command:
wget -q www.google.com && echo "Internet access over HTTP/HTTPS is OK !" || echo "No internet access over HTTP/HTTPS ! You may need to set up a proxy."
4. Install the tools[edit source]
4.1. STM32CubeProgrammer[edit source]
- Create your STM32MPU tools directory on your host computer
mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z
- Create a temporary directory in your STM32MPU workspace
mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/tmp
- Download latest STM32CubeProgrammer in the following directory
$HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/tmp
- Uncompress the archive file to get the STM32CubeProgrammer installers
cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/tmp unzip SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer.zip
- Execute the Linux installer, which guides you through the installation process. Select "$HOME/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z" as the installation directory, when it's requested by the installer
./SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z.linux
Screenshots, done with STM32CubeProgrammer V2.5.0, are given as examples below:
- Add the STM32CubeProgrammer binary path to your PATH environment variable
export PATH=$HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z/bin:$PATH
- Check that the STM32CubeProgrammer tool is properly installed and accessible
STM32_Programmer_CLI --h ------------------------------------------------------------------- STM32CubeProgrammer vx.y.z -------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2. USB serial link[edit source]
- Install the libusb on your host computer
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
- To allow STM32CubeProgrammer to access the USB port through low-level commands, proceed as follows
cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Tools/STM32CubeProgrammer-x.y.z/Drivers/rules sudo cp *.* /etc/udev/rules.d/
5. Download the image[edit source]
The software package is provided AS IS, and by downloading it, you agree to be bound to the terms of the software license agreement (SLA). The detailed content licenses can be found here.
For ecosystem release v2.1.0 [edit source]
- Create your STM32MP15 Starter Package directory on your host computer
mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.1.0 mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.1.0/Starter-Package cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.1.0/Starter-Package
- Download the STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.1.0 Starter Package to the following directory:
$HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.1.0/Starter-Package - Uncompress the tarball file to get the binaries for the different partitions of the image, and the Flash layout files
tar xvf en.FLASH-stm32mp1-openstlinux-5-4-dunfell-mp1-20-11-12.tar.xz
For ecosystem release v2.0.0 [edit source]
- Create your STM32MP15 Starter Package directory on your host computer
mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.0.0 mkdir $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.0.0/Starter-Package cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.0.0/Starter-Package
- Download the STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v2.0.0 Starter Package to the following directory:
