This article shows how to start up a STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit (flexible and complete development platform for the STM32MP15 microprocessor devices). It is valid both for the STM32MP157A-DK1 and STM32MP157C-DK2 Discovery kits: the part numbers are specified in the STM32MP15 microprocessor part numbers article.
It lists the required material, points to the board features description, and gives the step-by-step process to set up the system.
Finally, it proposes to run some basic use cases and to discover some of the board capabilities.
1. Starter Package content[edit | edit source]
If you are not yet familiar with the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution and its Packages, please read the following articles:
- Which STM32MPU Embedded Software Package better suits your needs (and especially the Starter Package chapter)
- STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution
If you are already familiar with the Starter Package for the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution, the fast links to essential commands might be of interest.
To sum up, this Starter Package provides:
- the software image for the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution, which includes:
- the binaries for the OpenSTLinux distribution
- one or more firmware example(s) for the STM32Cube MPU Package
- the (STM32CubeProgrammer) tool to install this image on the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit
2. Starter Package step-by-step overview[edit | edit source]
The steps to get the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit up and running, are:
☐ Checking the material
☐ Assembling the board
☐ Installing the tools
☐ Downloading the image and flashing it on the board
☐ Booting the board
Once these steps are achieved, you are able to:
- check the boot sequence
- execute basic commands
- run basic use cases
- discover on your own the capabilities of the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit
3. Checking the material[edit | edit source]

The following figure shows the optional material (not included in STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit package), that is used with this Starter Package.
4. Assembling the board[edit | edit source]
The STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kits packages (STM32MP157A-DK1 
, STM32MP157D-DK1 
, STM32MP157C-DK2 and STM32MP157F-DK2 ) are delivered assembled, and contain the items listed below. A USB Type-C™ cable is also included.
Please note that;
- the STM32MP157A-DK1
and STM32MP157D-DK1 Discovery kits neither include the "WLAN + Bluetooth" component (muRata LBEE5KL1DX), nor the MB1407 daughterboard DSI display - the STM32MP157C-DK2 and STM32MP157F-DK2 Discovery kits include the "WLAN + Bluetooth" component (muRata LBEE5KL1DX), and the MB1407 daughterboard DSI display
| Position | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | MB1272 motherboard ("WLAN + Bluetooth" component included only for the STM32MP157C-DK2 and STM32MP157F-DK2 Discovery kits)
|
| 2 | MB1407 daughterboard DSI display (480x800 pixels): only for the STM32MP157C-DK2 and STM32MP157F-DK2 Discovery kits
|
| 3 | microSD card |
5. Installing the tools[edit | edit source]

5.2. Preparing the USB serial link for flashing[edit | edit source]
It is recommended to use the USB (in DFU mode) for flashing rather than the UART, which is too slow.
Below indications on how to install the USB in DFU mode under Linux and Windows OS, respectively.
- For Linux host PC or Windows host PC with VMWare:
The libusb1.0 package (including USB DFU mode) must be installed to be able to connect to the board via the USB port. This is achieved by typing the following command from the host PC terminal:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
To allow STM32CubeProgrammer to access the USB port through low-level commands, proceed as follows:
cd <your STM32CubeProgrammer install directory>/Drivers/rules
sudo cp *.* /etc/udev/rules.d/
- For Windows host PC:
Run the “STM32 Bootloader.bat” file to install the STM32CubeProgrammer DFU driver and activate the STM32 microprocessor device in USB DFU mode. This driver (installed by STM32 Bootloader.bat) is provided within the STM32CubeProgrammer release package. It is located in the DFU driver folder, \Drivers\DFU_Driver.
In case of issue, refer to How to proceed when the DFU driver installation fails on Windows host PC.
To validate the installation, the DFU driver functionality can be verified by following the FAQ instructions provided in how to check if the DFU driver is functional.
6. Downloading the image and flashing it on the board[edit | edit source]
6.1. Image download[edit | edit source]

6.2. Image flashing[edit | edit source]
The STM32CubeProgrammer tool is used to flash the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit with the downloaded image.
The microSD card, provided in the box, is used as the Flash device: see the STM32MP15 Flash mapping article if you want to know more about the supported Flash memory technologies, and the Flash partitions.
As explained in the boot chains overview, the trusted boot chain is the default solution delivered by STMicroelectronics. Thus, the steps below use the image for the trusted boot chain.
Let's flash the downloaded image on the microSD card:
- Set the boot switches (1) to the off position
- Connect the USB Type-C™ (OTG) port (2) to the host PC that contains the downloaded image
- Insert the delivered microSD card into the dedicated slot (3)
- Connect the delivered power supply to the USB Type-C™ port (4)
- Press the reset button (5) to reset the board
- Go to the Starter Package directory that contains the binaries and the Flash layout files
cd <Starter Package installation directory>/stm32mp1-openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-02-20/images/stm32mp1
If you have followed the the proposition to organize the working directory, the command is cd Starter-Package/stm32mp1-openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-02-20/images/stm32mp1

7. Booting the board[edit | edit source]
Now that the image is flashed on the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit, let's finalize the system configuration:
- Step 1: check the configuration of the switches
- The figure below shows the position of the boot switches in order to boot from the microSD card.
- Step 2: (optional) connect a USB keyboard and/or a USB mouse (not provided) using the USB type A ports (3 and 4)
- Step 3: (optional) connect an Ethernet cable (not provided) to the dedicated connector (7)
- Step 4: check that the microSD card is inserted into the dedicated slot (2)
- Step 5: connect the provided power supply (5 V, 3 A) to the USB type C connector (8)
- Step 6: (optional) connect the ST-LINK/V2-1 USB micro-B port (5) to a host PC that runs a Terminal program with ST-LINK/V2-1 virtual port (e.g. Minicom on Ubuntu Linux PC or Tera Term on Windows PC)
- install and configure a remote Terminal program onto your host PC
- Step 7: (optional) connect a HDMI monitor (or TV) to the HDMI connector. This option is particularly useful for the STM32MP157A-DK1 and STM32MP157D-DK1 Discovery kits that do not include any DSI display daughterboard
- Step 8: press the reset button (6) to reset the board
The board boots and the system will be available after few seconds.
