4. Board connection[edit | edit source]
The connections shown in the picture below are the ones recommended to start with the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation boards. As shown in the board overview, other connectors are available for this board (for example CAN).
5. Switches and jumpers[edit | edit source]
Most of default settings of the switches and jumpers shall be kept as set in the commercial box.
There are 3 main exceptions:
- the jumpers related to UART4
- the switches related to boot
- the jumper JP1 that must be removed
The picture and sections below detail the main boot switches and the UART4 jumpers.
[edit | edit source]
The STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation boards can boot from different Flash devices (microSD, eMMC...); using the microSD card is recommended.
Boot mode | Boot 2 | Boot 1 | Boot 0 |
---|---|---|---|
Engineering boot | 1 | 0 | 0 |
NOR | 0 | 0 | 1 |
microSD card | 1 | 0 | 1 |
eMMC | 0 | 1 | 0 |
NAND | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Forced USB boot for flashing |
0 | 0 | 0 |
The boot related switches (SW1 on the board overview picture) must be configured as illustrated by one of the following pictures:
[edit | edit source]
The UART4 is shared exclusively between 2 connectors:
- RS232, D-type, 9-pin connector (CN12 on the board overview picture), dedicated to communication through RS232,
- USB micro-B (ST-LINK/V2-1) (CN4 on the board overview picture), dedicated to the RS232 of ST-LINK/V2-1 controller
The connection is switched by setting JP4 and JP5 jumpers as shown in following pictures:
6. GPIO mapping[edit | edit source]
6.1. Motor control connector[edit | edit source]
The pins of the motor control connector (CN22 on the board overview picture) are described in the following table.
Due to the sharing of some IOs by multiple peripherals, the motor control interface is not enabled by default, and the motor control cannot be operated simultaneously with the camera, audio codec, CAN and GPIO expansion (GPIO6, 7 and 12): more details (e.g. enabling the motor control interface) in the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation boards user manuals.
