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.

6.2. Image flashing[edit | edit source]
6.2.1. Via STM32CubeProgrammer tool[edit | edit source]
The STM32CubeProgrammer tool is used to flash the STM32MP15 Evaluation board with the downloaded image.
Several Flash devices (microSD, eMMC...) are available on this board: see the STM32 MPU Flash mapping article if you want to know more about the supported Flash memory technologies, and the Flash partitions. The steps below consider the microSD card as the Flash device.
As explained in the boot chain overview, the optee boot chain is the default solution delivered by STMicroelectronics. Thus, the steps below use the image for the optee boot chain.
Let's flash the downloaded image on the microSD card:
- Remove the jumper JP1 (1)
- Set the boot switches (2) to the off position
- Connect the USB micro-AB (OTG) port (3) to the host PC that contains the downloaded image
- Insert the delivered microSD card into the dedicated slot (4)
- Connect the delivered power supply to the power connector (5) of the MB1263 daughterboard
- Press the reset button (6) 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-6.1-yocto-mickledore-mp2-v23.12.06/images/stm32mp1
If you have followed the the proposition to organize the working directory, the command is cd Starter-Package/stm32mp1-openstlinux-6.1-yocto-mickledore-mp2-v23.12.06/images/stm32mp1
- Check that the STM32CubeProgrammer tool is installed and accessible; if not, go to the installation procedure (installing the tools)
STM32_Programmer_CLI --h ------------------------------------------------------------------- STM32CubeProgrammer <tool version> -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Get the device port location for the USB link
STM32_Programmer_CLI -l usb ------------------------------------------------------------------- STM32CubeProgrammer <tool version> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total number of available STM32 device in DFU mode: 1 Device Index : USB1 USB Bus Number : 002 USB Address Number : 002 Product ID : DFU in HS Mode @Device ID /0x500, @Revision ID /0x0000 Serial number : 000000000000 Firmware version : 0x011a Device ID : 0x0500
- Flash the microSD card with the image for the optee boot chain
STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=usb1 -w flashlayout_st-image-weston/optee/FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-ev1-optee.tsv
- This operation takes several minutes (mainly depending of the rootfs size). A successful flashing outputs the following log:

6.2.2. Via microSD card raw image script[edit | edit source]
For microSD card, you can create a raw image with the script available with images and after populate the microSD card.
Step for flashing an image:
- create a raw image with the tsv file associated to the board
- populate the microSD card with a raw tools
On images directory, a script is available to help you to create a raw image, scripts/create_sdcard_from_flashlayout.sh.
The script parameters:
- Flashlayout tsv file.
- --compress : to compress the raw image
Script environment variables:
- DEVICE: name of device on which the raw image will be writed (variable used to generate help at end of script execution)
- SDCARD_SIZE: size of sdcard (size on MB)
- ROOTFS_SIZE: size of rootfs (size on MB) which permit to extend the size of rootfs partition.
Let's start by creating a raw image for stm32mp157c-ev1 board:
./scripts/create_sdcard_from_flashlayout.sh flashlayout_st-image-weston/optee/FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-ev1-optee.tsv
if you know the device on which the raw image will be copied you can specified it like this (here the microSD card is availabele via /dev/sda)
DEVICE=/dev/sda ./scripts/create_sdcard_from_flashlayout.sh flashlayout_st-image-weston/optee/FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-ev1-optee.tsv
Create Raw empty image: flashlayout_st-image-weston/optee/../../FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-ev1-optee.raw of 5120MB

7. Booting the board[edit | edit source]
Now that the image is flashed on the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board, let's finalize the system configuration:
- Step 1: check the configuration of the switches and jumpers:
- The boot related switches must be configured so that the device (e.g. microSD card ) on which the image has been flashed is selected as boot source.
- The jumpers related to the UART4 of the STM32MP15 microprocessor device must be set so that UART4 is used by the ST-LINK/V2-1 controller (7)
- The figure below shows the boot switches for the recommended boot from microSD card.
- Step 2: (optionally) connect a USB keyboard and/or a USB mouse (not provided) using the USB type-A ports (10 and 11).
- Step 3: (optionally) connect an Ethernet cable (not provided) to the dedicated connector (13).
- Step 4: if the Flash device is a microSD card, check that it is inserted into the dedicated slot (5).
- Step 5: connect the delivered power supply (5V, 3A) to the power connector (6) of the MB1263 daughterboard. Check that the display board (MB1230) is well connected. In this case, the 2 green LEDs (8) are switched on.
- Step 6: (optionally) install and configure a remote Terminal program (e.g. Minicom on Ubuntu Linux PC or Tera Term on Windows PC) onto your host PC, and connect
- either the ST-LINK/V2-1 USB micro-B port (7) to a host PC that runs a Terminal program with ST-LINK/V2-1 virtual port (recommended method)
- or the RS232 UART4 connector (12) to the host PC that runs a Terminal program with COM1 port.
- the ST-LINK/V2-1 USB micro-B port (7) and the RS232 UART4 connector (12) cannot be used simultaneously: see how to set the JP4 and JP5 jumpers to select one of the two configurations
- Step 7: press the reset button (9) to reset the board
The board boots and the system will be available after few seconds.
8. Checking the boot sequence[edit | edit source]
Assuming you have performed the optional step 6 above, the information (coming successively from the TF-A, OP-TEE OS, U-Boot and the Linux operating system that is booting on the board), should be displayed on the host PC Terminal.
In parallel, a U-Boot splash screen picture is displayed on the DSI display (if one is connected to the board).
A user space graphical boot splash screen (PSplash) picture is then briefly displayed on the HDMI monitor if one is connected to the board, or otherwise on the DSI display (if one is connected to the board).
When the boot process is complete, the launcher application is shown on the HDMI monitor if one is connected to the board, or otherwise on the DSI display (if one is connected to the board).
More detail about this launcher application in GTK demo launcher page.
9. Mouse, keyboard and Ethernet hot-plugs[edit | edit source]
Let's assume that the optional step 2 and step 3 were not achieved when setting up the system above.
When connecting a USB mouse, the following information is displayed by the Terminal program:
[ 926.786326] usb 2-1.1: new low-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-platform
[ 926.961413] input: Logitech Optical USB Mouse as /devices/platform/soc/5800d000.usbh-ehci/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0/0003:046D:C016.0001/input/input2

or on STM32MP13x lines for the second Ethernet interface
[ 117.370989] stm32-dwmac 5800e000.eth2 end1: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx [ 117.377950] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): end1: link becomes ready
10. Remote and local Terminal programs[edit | edit source]
As already explained in the step 6 above, a remote Terminal program can be installed and configured on your host PC in order to communicate with the board through a serial link or an Ethernet link: see How to get Terminal.
The remote Terminal on your host PC can be used to enter command lines, as shown below with the ip command to query the network interface parameters:
A local Terminal program can be launched directly on the board. Click on the small icon at the top left corner of the display (see the red arrow on the figure below):
Then the on-board Wayland Terminal can be used to directly enter command lines as shown below, still with the ip addr command to query the network interface parameters:
Consequently, unless an explicit restriction is mentioned, command lines can be run from both Terminals.
Note: in this article, any command executed on the board (through the remote Terminal or the Wayland Terminal) starts with , while any command executed on the host PC starts with .
