STM32MP1 Distribution Package - OpenSTLinux distribution

This article aims to give the following information:

• How to download and install the latest OpenSTLinux distribution for the STM32 microprocessors Series
• Where to find the associated release note
• Where to find the previous releases (archives)

For more specific information, go through the Distribution Package article relative to your STM32 microprocessors Series: Category:Distribution Package

1. STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v3.1.0 release

• The STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution is delivered through a manifest repository location and a manifest revision (unknown revision).
• The installation relies on the repo command. In case the Repo tool (a Google-built repository management tool that runs on top of git) is not yet installed and configured on the host PC, refer to the PC prerequisites article.
• The OpenSTLinux distribution is massively using open source software (OSS) packages that are downloaded from a variety of open source repositories; so it is required that the IT infrastructure proxies do not forbid such accesses. If some proxy-related issues are suspected, refer to the How to avoid proxy issues article.

• Install the STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution

	STM32MP1 Distribution Package OpenSTLinux distribution - STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v3.1.0 release
Installation	Go to the host PC directory where to install the Distribution Package (<Distribution Package installation directory>). Example, if following the proposition to organize the working directory: PC $> cd <working directory path>/Distribution-Package Create the OpenSTLinux distribution installation sub-directory: PC $> mkdir unknown revision PC $> cd unknown revision Initialize repo in the current directory (More details on 'repo init' here). PC $> repo init -u https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/oe-manifest.git -b refs/tags/unknown revision Note: "ERROR 404" may appear during "repo init" command without any impact on the process Synchronize the local project directories with the remote repositories specified in the manifest (more details on 'repo sync' here) PC $> repo sync Note: Distribution package needs around 140MB to be installed (and around 25GB once distribution package is compiled).
Release note	Details about the content of this software package are available in the associated STM32MP15 ecosystem release note. If interested in previous releases, go through the archives of the ecosystem release note.

• The OpenSTLinux distribution installation directory is in the <Distribution Package installation directory>, and is named unknown revision:
