This article is a guideline to user space project support, fully integrated in release 1.6.0 of STM32CubeIDE.

It covers executable, static or shared libraries support from project creation to debug.

1. Prerequisites[edit source]

Minimum hardware

STM32MP15x-based board
Linux console
Ethernet (or Ethernet over USB) for connection to Linux^® Cortex^®-A

Minimum software

STM32CubeIDE v1.6.0 installed and
- STM32MP15 project created
- Yocto SDK installed thanks to "Setup OpenSTLinux" Cortex-A contextual menu

2. STM32CubeIDE User Space[edit source]

From STM32CubeIDE release 1.6.0 it is possible to enrich an STM32MP15x hierarchical project with User Space type project.

STM32MP15 project enriched with Linux user space projects

executable project support - myExe

static library project support - myStaticLib

shared library project support - mySharedLib

GTK library usage example - GtkHelloWorld

3. Eclipse CDT support[edit source]

From STM32CubeIDE release 1.6.0 it is also possible to easily create a STM32MP15x user space project from standard CDT Eclipse wizard.

In that case, the user space project is not part of any STM32MP15x hierarchical project and appears as a standalone project in Eclipse project explorer view.
