Warning

To start efficiently the board, it's recommended to go through the Starter Package article relative to your board: Category:Starter Package

Mandatory

PC	Linux or Windows operating systems. See PC prerequisites for more details on the required configurations
STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board	High-end development platform for the STM32MP25 microprocessor device including: a MB1936 board
microSDTM card	It is populated with OpenSTLinux distribution (Linux software), and provides extra storage capacity. A 8-Gbyte minimum MicroSD card is needed
USB type-C cable	It connects the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board to the PC through the USB type-C (ST-LINK/V3) connector
USB type-C cable	It connects the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board to an USB OTG device through the USB micro-AB connector

Optional

LCD screen	Several types of screen are possible : LVDS, DSI or HDMI
Power supply	(Optional) Power supply block (5V, 3A) for the MB1936 board.
USB keyboard and mouse	Thanks to the USB type A connectors, the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board can be equipped with a full-size keyboard and mouse
Ethernet cable	It can connect the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board to a network through the RJ45 connector
RS232 cable	It can connect the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board to the PC through the UART connector as an alternative of the ST-LINK/V2-1 connection
CAN cable	It can connect the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board to CAN devices through the CAN FD/TT connectors
Trace cable	It can connect the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board to an external tool through the Trace connector
JTAG cable	It can connect the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board to an external tool through the JTAG connector

Optionally, devices and extension boards might be plugged to the STM32MP257x-EV1 Evaluation board thanks to connectors such as:

• the GPIO expansion connector
• the PCIe connector
• the Mikro bus connector
• ...
