OpenSTLinux BSP architecture overview

Applicable for

STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines, STM32MP21x lines, STM32MP23x lines, STM32MP25x lines

---

The OpenSTLinux BSP encompasses the following components:

• The boot chain based on TF-A running on the Arm^® Cortex^®-A in secure mode and U-Boot running on the Arm^® Cortex^®-A in nonsecure mode
• The OP-TEE secure OS running on the Arm^® Cortex^®-A in secure mode
• The Linux kernel running on the Arm^® Cortex^®-A in nonsecure mode

Important

OpenSTLinux BSP is part of any Linux-based embedded of the STM32 MPU embedded software offer (e.g., Yocto-based OpenSTLinux embedded software, Buildroot-based Linux embedded software…). It is NOT part of Bare metal - RTOS embedded software.
