Main NEW features of the STM32MP15-ecosystem-v3.0.0 release
- Firmware Image Package (FIP) support (more about FIP here)
- It means that only TF-A BL2 requires the stm32 header for a ROM Code authentication. Others bootloader binaries are embedded in a FIP container.
- A dedicated fip-utils-stm32mp.bbclass class is provided on meta-st-stm32mp layer side to manage the FIP image configuration, build and update.
- A new MACHINE_FEATURES 'fip' allows to enable the FIP binary support : this is the default and ST recommended configuration for STM32MP1 machine due to compliance with Trusted firmware-A.
- Firmware Configuration framework (FCONF) used to define TF-A BL2 expected behavior with the FIP binaries and the platform low level memory firewalling (TZC)
- For more information regarding FIP and FCONF, please look at following articles
- Internal peripheral assignment at boot time
- At boot time, you can select two kernel configurations:
- Configuration 1: all internal peripherals are assigned to Cortex-A7 for Linux drivers. Cortex-M4 coprocessing firmware TTY is executed by default.
- Configuration 2: some internal peripherals are assigned to Cortex-M4 to execute Cortex-M4 delivered examples on the board (EVAL or DISCO) see (How to run Cortex-M4 examples).
- At boot time, you can select two kernel configurations:
- Configuration 1 is activated by default if you do not specify "2" in the U-Boot console.
More information can be found in the How to assign an internal peripheral to a runtime context article.
- Configuration 1 is activated by default if you do not specify "2" in the U-Boot console.

4.6. Miscellaneous[edit source]
Detailed features are available in the release notes of the different components constituted this delivery.
See sections STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution detailed release notes, Referenced tools release notes and Reference documents
5. Main restrictions[edit source]
5.1. Embedded software[edit source]
5.1.1. OpenSTLinux (Cortex®-A7)[edit source]
None
5.1.2. STM32CubeMP1 (Cortex®-M4)[edit source]
- Please use the HAL RTC 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]
- Key generation is not functional with STM32MP_KeyGen_CLI on Linux under Ubuntu 16.04 (functional with Ubuntu 18.04 and upper versions).
5.3. STM32CubeMX[edit source]
- Warning: To generate a device tree for new boards (STM32MP157D-DK1, STM32MP157D-EV1), please select respectively the ST boards project STM32MP157F-DK2, STM32MP157F-EV1.
The generated device trees is functional but generate some probe errors on Crypto, Display DSI, Wifi, BT Linux drivers for STM32MP157D-DK1 board and on Crypto Linux driver for STM32MP157D-EV1. - Warning: When opening a previous project built with STM32CubeMX version older than V6.2.1, the migration does not take into account the user section part. This part needs to be updated manually according the Openstlinux-5.10-dunfell-mp1-21-03-31 manifest.
5.4. STM32CubeIDE[edit source]
- Warning: To use a project, based on new Boards STM32MP157D-DK1, STM32MP157D-EV1, please select respectively the ST boards projects STM32MP157F-DK2, STM32MP157F-EV1. The generated device trees by STM32CubeMX will work but can generate some probe errors on Crypto, Display DSI, Wifi, BT Linux drivers for STM32MP157D-DK1 board and on Crypto Linux driver for STM32MP157D-EV1 board.
- Using OpenOCD with ST-LINK does not check and force ST-LINK firmware update at debug launch. It is therefore recommended to manually update the latest ST-LINK firmware for the best debug experience. Use the Help > ST-LINK Upgrade menu".
5.5. Miscellaneous[edit source]
Restriction lists are available in subcomponents release notes. They are available in the following chapters:
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.
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:
