STM32MP15 Discovery kits - required material

This article aims to present the mandatory and optional material needed for an STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit. It is valid for the STM32MP157A-DK1 , STM32MP157D-DK1 , STM32MP157C-DK2 and STM32MP157F-DK2 Discovery kits: the part numbers are specified in the STM32MP15 microprocessor part numbers article.

Warning

For assistance with starting up the boards, it is recommended to go through the related Starter Package articles: Category:Starter Package

Mandatory

PC	Linux or Windows operating systems. See PC prerequisites for more details on the required configurations.
STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit	Flexible and complete development platform for the STM32MP15 microprocessor device including: a MB1272 motherboard a MB1407 daughterboard (480x800 pixels DSI display): only for the STM32MP157C-DK2 and STM32MP157F-DK2 Discovery kits
Power supply	Including: a USB Type-C™ cable (delivered in the packages) a USB Type-C™ charger (5 V, 3 A) (not delivered in the packages)
MicroSD card	Populated with OpenSTLinux distribution (Linux software), and providing extra storage capacity. A 2-Gbyte minimum microSD card is needed.
USB micro-B cable	In order to connect the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit to the PC through the USB micro-B (ST-LINK/V2-1) connector
USB Type-C™ cable	In order to connect the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit to an USB OTG device through the USB Type-C™ connector

Optional

USB keyboard and mouse	Thanks to the USB type A connectors, the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit can be equipped with a full-size keyboard and mouse
Ethernet cable	In order to connect the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit to a network through the RJ45 connector
HDMI cable	In order to connect the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit to an HDMI monitor (or TV) through the HDMI connector

Optional, more devices and extension boards might be plugged to the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit thanks to expansion connectors such as:

• the GPIO expansion connector
• the Arduino Uno connector
• ...
