This article aims to present the mandatory and optional material needed for the STM32MP215F-DK Discovery kits: the part numbers are specified in the STM32MP21 microprocessor part numbers article.

Warning

To start efficiently the board, it is 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
STM32MP215x-DK Discovery kit	Flexible and complete development platform for the STM32MP21 microprocessor device including: a MB2059 board
microSDTM card	It must be populated with OpenSTLinux distribution (Linux software), and provides extra storage capacity. An 16-Gbyte minimum microSD card is needed.
USB serial to TTL cable	It connects the STM32MP215x-DK Discovery kit to the PC through the uart connector (for A35 and M33 uart console).
USB type-C cable	It connects the STM32MP215x-DK Discovery kit to a USB power and/or PC through the USB type-C connector.

Optional

LCD screen - recommended	One type of screen is supported: LTDC RGB parallel
Ethernet cable	It can connect the STM32MP215x-DK Discovery kit to a network through the RJ45 connector.
Camera	MIPI CSI-2 Camera
Wifi/BT	M2-connector

Optionally, devices and extension boards might be plugged to the STM32MP215x-DK Discovery kit thanks to connectors such as:

• GPIO expansion connector
• ...
