1 Disclaimers[edit]

STMicroelectronics packages repository service is provided for evaluation purpose only, and therefore not approved for use in production.
The package licenses hosted in these repositories can be found here: OpenSTLinux _ licenses.

Command outputs described in this document may slightly vary depending on tools version.

1.1 Description[edit]

OpenSTLinux provides a package repository service hosted at the non-browsable URL http://packages.openstlinux.st.com. The package repository service is designed for STM32MP157C-DK2 STM32MP157x-DKx , STM32MP157x-EV1 and STM32MP135F-DK boards and is enabled by default in the Starter Package.

2.1

Warning

Some packages provided in the OpenSTLinux distribution can't be installed or run onto the STM32MP135F-DK board. This mainly concerns graphical and related packages because of hardware technical characteristics which differ from STM32MP157x-DKx and STM32MP157x-EV1 boards.

1.2 Organization[edit]

Within each repository, packages are organized in two three groups (a.k.a "components" in the APT terminology):

2.2

the "main" group contains a wide selection of packages whose installation is automatically tested by STMicroelectronics
the "untested" group contains all the other packages that can be built using the bitbake world command. However their installation is not guaranteed.

A third group named "updates" is reserved for future use.

the updates group contains additional packages not included in the OpenSTLinux distribution releases and updated packages. This group is managed by a dedicated layer available through github®. Further details are available by following the github® link: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/meta-st-pkgrepo-updates.

1.3 Limitations[edit]

Packages repository service doesn't include the packages that are shipped in the rootfs image, nor the BSP components (TF-A, U-Boot, Linux and OP-TEE). They can be installed only from the Starter Package using the STM32CubeProgrammer.

rootfs available space is about 60MB by default. For a better experience it is recommend recommended to flash the Starter Package using the "extensible" flashlayout (*-extensible.tsv).
Extensible flashlayout does not flash write userfs partition to extend the rootfs partition to the size of the sdcard.

3 2 Usage[edit]

32.1 Prequisite[edit]

We assume your board has an internet connection either through the network cable or through a WiFi connection.

2.2 Apt[edit]

OpenSTLinux packages can be handled using apt-* utilities, which are the same utilities used on a Debian system. The first apt-* command that must be run before any other is:

 
root@board# apt-get update
 The software package is provided AS IS, and by downloading it, you agree to be
 bound to the terms of the software license agreement (SLA).

 xxhash - Extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm
 xz - Utilities for managing LZMA compressed files

It is possible to list only packages that match a given pattern, for example:

Likewise, some packages may have been automatically installed to respect dependencies with other packages. If they are no longer required, they can be removed to free space:

 
root@board# apt-get autoremove

In addition, it is recommended to regularly install the latest versions of the packages currently installed on the system:

 root@board# apt-get upgrade

3.2 How to create a repository[edit]

A lot of different tools can be used to generate an Apt repository; the most recommended one is reprepro, and the easiest one is probably apt-ftparchive. For instance, to quickly create an Apt repository from a build of OpenSTLinux:

3 How to activate a local package repository[edit]

3.1 Prerequisite[edit]

Even if Package repository for OpenSTLinux offers lots of and various packages, you may need to use a local and personnal package repository. Using a local and personal package repository is a 'smart' and 'quick' way to update the Starter Package with your developments.

A local package repository is a collection of *.deb organized such apt needs it. The local repository should provide Packages metafiles.

Natively OpenEmbedded/Yocto build system is able to generate a valid package repository (by using bitbake package-index command listed below). So first, install the STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution.

3.2 Update the repo package indexes[edit]

Execute the bitbake package-index command:

  cd [your STM32MP1 Distribution path]/build-<DISTRO>-<MACHINE>
  bitbake package-index

3.3 HTTP server execution on the computer[edit]

http.server python application is already installed on the board with the OpenSTLinux distribution. You just need to launch this application on your host computer, in the "[your STM32MP1 Distribution path]/build-<DISTRO>-<MACHINE>/tmp-glibc/deploy/deb

/

" folder:

 cd user@pc$[your lsSTM32MP1 Distribution all/  cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4/  stm32mp1/
 user@pc$ apt-ftparchive --arch armhf packages . > Packages
 user@pc$ apt-ftparchive release . > Release

The whole content of this directory (deb in the previous example) must then be copied to a location that can be accessed by the OpenSTLinux OS. It could be a file server or a local disk. Just declare this location ($location in the example below) to the Apt system:

 root@board# path]/build-<DISTRO>-<MACHINE>/tmp-glibc/deploy/deb
 python3 -m http.server &

3.4 How to use the local OpenSTLinux Distribution[edit]

We use the physical IP address of the HTTP server we launched above to configure APT. That means this {{<IP>}} address should be defined as static on the host computer.
You can now configure the APT tool directly on the target via a Linux console:

 echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://<IP>:8000/stm32mp1 /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list
 echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://<IP>:8000/all /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list
 echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://<IP>:8000/cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4 /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list
 echo "deb [trusted=yes] $locationhttp://<IP>:8000/cortexa7hf-neon-vfpv4 /" > >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list

In the above example, [trusted=yes] has been specified because the package manifest Release is not signed. Eventually, apt-* commands can be used as described in the apt section

Then you can run the command to synchronize the local packages index:

  apt-get update

Natively OpenEmbedded/Yocto build system is able to generate a valid package repository (by using <code>bitbake package-index</code> command listed below). 
So first, [[STM32MP1_Distribution_Package#Installing_the_OpenSTLinux_distribution|install the STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution]].

===Update the repo package indexes===
Execute the <code>bitbake package-index</code> command:

  {{PC$}} cd [your STM32MP1 Distribution path]/build-<DISTRO>-<MACHINE>

  {{PC$}} bitbake package-index

===HTTP server execution on the computer===
'''http.server''' python application is already installed on the board with the OpenSTLinux distribution. You just need to launch this application on your host computer, in the "[your STM32MP1 Distribution path]/build-<DISTRO>-<MACHINE>/tmp-glibc/deploy/deb/

  all/  cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4/  stm32mp1/
  user@pc$ apt-ftparchive --arch armhf packages . > Packages
  user@pc$ apt-ftparchive release . > Release

The whole content of this directory (<code>deb</code> in the previous
example) must then be copied to a location that can be accessed by the
OpenSTLinux OS. It could be a file server or a local disk. Just declare this
location (<code>$location</code> in the example below) to the Apt system:

  root@board# " folder:

 {{PC$}} cd [your STM32MP1 Distribution path]/build-<DISTRO>-<MACHINE>/tmp-glibc/deploy/deb
 {{PC$}} python3 -m http.server &

===How to use the local OpenSTLinux Distribution===
We use the physical IP address of the HTTP server we launched above to configure APT. That means this {{<IP>}} address should be defined as static on the host computer.<br/>

You can now configure the APT tool directly on the target via a Linux console:

 {{Board$}} echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://<IP>:8000/stm32mp1 /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list
 {{Board$}} echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://<IP>:8000/all /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list
 {{Board$}} echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://<IP>:8000/cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4 /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list
 {{Board$}} echo "deb [trusted=yes] $location /" > http://<IP>:8000/cortexa7hf-neon-vfpv4 /"  >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_custom.list

In the above example, <code>'''[trusted=yes]</code>''' has been specified because the package manifest is
not [https://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt signed].  Eventually, <code>apt-*</code> commands can be used as described
in the [[#Apt|apt]] section.
'''Release''' is not signed.<br/>


Then you can run the command to synchronize the local packages index:

  {{Board$}} apt-get update
