X-LINUX-AZURE Distribution Package is based on OpenSTLinux Distribution Package ecosystem release v5.1.0 
.
1. Generate X-LINUX-AZURE OpenSTLinux distribution[edit | edit source]
With the following procedure, you can generate the complete distribution enabling the X-LINUX-AZURE Expansion Package.
This procedure is mandatory to use TPM or OP-TEE on the X-LINUX-AZURE Expansion Package.
1.1. Download the Distribution Package[edit | edit source]
- Install the OpenSTLinux Distribution Package by following the dedicated article (STM32MPU Distribution Package) but do not initialize the OpenEmbedded environment (do not source the envsetup.sh).
1.2. Install X-LINUX-AZURE environment[edit | edit source]
1.2.1. Clone the meta-st-x-linux-azure Git repository[edit | edit source]

1.2.7. Configure Yocto Project®[edit | edit source]
- For a new environment
Source the build environment with the correct board and layers:
cd <Distribution Package installation directory>
MACHINE=stm32mp2 DISTRO=openstlinux-weston BSP_DEPENDENCY='layers/meta-st/meta-st-x-linux-tpm layers/meta-st/meta-st-x-linux-azure layers/meta-iotedge layers/meta-virtualization layers/meta-clang' source layers/meta-st/scripts/envsetup.sh
- For an already installed environment
Add the layers to the Yocto environment:
cd <Distribution Package installation directory> source layers/meta-st/scripts/envsetup.sh bitbake-layers add-layer ../layers/meta-st/meta-st-x-linux-azure/ ../layers/meta-st/meta-st-x-linux-tpm/ ../layers/meta-iotedge/ ../layers/meta-security ../layers/meta-virtualization ../layers/meta-clang
1.3. Build the image[edit | edit source]
bitbake st-image-azure
| Information
|
| Note that building the image might take a long time depending on the host computer performance. |
1.4. Program the built image[edit | edit source]
Follow this link to see how to program the built image.
2. How to use the X-LINUX-AZURE Expansion Package[edit | edit source]
Go to X-LINUX-AZURE_package_software_setup.
3. Main software modifications[edit | edit source]
Through the X-LINUX-AZURE Distribution Package, the OpenSTLinux distribution is mainly changed at two levels:
- The Linux® kernel configuration and Device tree level with the X-LINUX-TPM Expansion Package integration.
- User space bringing necessary libraries and tools to use Azure IoT Edge, OP-TEE, and the TPM expansion board features.
