Install the SDK: Difference between revisions


Latest revision as of 18:13, 6 November 2024



1. Overview[edit | edit source]

This stage explains how to install the SDK.
The SDK for OpenSTLinux distribution provides a standalone cross-development toolchain and libraries tailored to the contents of the specific image flashed onto the board.

2. Host computer configuration[edit | edit source]

2.1. Install extra packages[edit | edit source]

Additional Ubuntu packages must be installed to perform basic development tasks, basic cross-compilation (via Developer Package) or more complex cross-compilation such as OpenEmbedded does (via Distribution Package):

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install gawk wget git diffstat unzip texinfo gcc build-essential chrpath socat cpio python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev pylint3 xterm python3-subunit mesa-common-dev zstd liblz4-tool
 sudo apt-get install make xsltproc docbook-utils fop dblatex xmlto
 sudo apt-get install libmpc-dev libgmp-dev
  • Packages needed for some "Developer Package" use cases:
 sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
  • Package for repo (used to download the "Distribution Package" source code):
Please follow the installation instructions described in repo.
 For Ubuntu 20.04, first set python3 as default:  sudo apt install python-is-python3
  • Useful tools:
 sudo apt-get install coreutils bsdmainutils sed curl bc lrzsz corkscrew cvs subversion mercurial nfs-common nfs-kernel-server libarchive-zip-perl dos2unix texi2html diffstat libxml2-utils


2.2. Additional configurations[edit | edit source]

Additional configurations have to be installed to support up to 16 partitions per MMC. By default, on Linux® systems, a maximum of 8 partitions are allowed on MMC. All Packages (Starter Package, ...) need more than 10 partitions for the storage device. In order to extend the number of partitions per device to 16, the following options must be added to modprobe:

 echo 'options mmc_block perdev_minors=16' > /tmp/mmc_block.conf
 sudo mv /tmp/mmc_block.conf /etc/modprobe.d/mmc_block.conf


3. For STM32MP1 series[edit | edit source]

3.1. Download the SDK and run the SDK installation script[edit | edit source]


The STM32MP1 SDK is delivered through two tarball file named :

  • unknown revision for x86_64 host architecture
  • unknown revision for arm64 host architecture

Download and install the STM32MP1 SDK.

STM32MP1 Developer Package SDK - STM32MP1-Ecosystem-v5.1.0 release
Download
  • Go on st.com to download
    • unknown revision file for x86_64 host architecture
    • unknown revision file for arm64 host architecture
Installation For x86_64 host architecture
  • Uncompress the tarball file to get the SDK installation script.
tar xvf unknown revision
  • If needed, change the permissions on the SDK installation script so that it is executable.
chmod +x unknown revision/unknown revision
  • Run the SDK installation script.
    • Use the -d <SDK installation directory absolute path> option to specify the absolute path to the directory in which you want to install the SDK (<SDK installation directory>).
    • If you follow the proposition to organize the working directory, it means:
./unknown revision/unknown revision -d <working directory absolute path>/Developer-Package/SDK
  • A successful installation outputs the following log:
ST OpenSTLinux - Weston - (A Yocto Project Based Distro) SDK installer version 4.2.4-openstlinux-6.1-yocto-mickledore-mp1-v24.06.26
===================================================================================================================================
You are about to install the SDK to "<working directory absolute path>/Developer-Package/SDK". Proceed [Y/n]? 
Extracting SDK.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................done
Setting it up...done
SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.
Each time you wish to use the SDK in a new shell session, you need to source the environment setup script e.g.
 $ . <working directory absolute path>/Developer-Package/SDK/environment-setup-cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-ostl-linux-gnueabi

For arm64 host architecture

Release note

Details about the content of the SDK are available in the associated STM32 MPU ecosystem release note.

3.2. Start the SDK up[edit | edit source]

 cd $HOME/STM32MPU_workspace/STM32MPU-Ecosystem-v5.1.0/Developer-Package 
 source SDK/environment-setup-cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-ostl-linux-gnueabi


The following checks ensure that the environment is correctly set up:

  • Check the target architecture
 echo $ARCH
arm
  • Check the toolchain binary prefix for the target tools
 echo $CROSS_COMPILE
arm-ostl-linux-gnueabi-

  • Check the C compiler version
 $CC --version

  • Check that the SDK version is the expected one (e.g.)
 echo $OECORE_SDK_VERSION
4.2.4-openstlinux-6.1-yocto-mickledore-mpu-v24.06.26

If any of these commands fails or does not return the expected result, try to reinstall the SDK.
