Developer's Guide

Getting Started

This section covers the essential tools required for the device workflow. The OS Flashing Tools and Logging In pages consists of tools you will use often in the development process. The Starter Package, Developer Package, and Running Qt5 Apps pages are all based on example OS images and steps provided by ST. Although on the Starter Package is essential for a brand new stm32mp1 board, I highly suggest going through these pages to understand the workflow and different possible levels of customizations behind supporting a custom Linux image.

  • OS Flashing Tools – Install initial dependencies installing the OS to an SD card.
  • Starter Package – Install a demo launcher and partition the SD card for the file system.
  • Terminal and Serial Output – Accessing the device terminal and receiving serial output from UART.
  • Developer Package – Build apps based on the Linux kernel using a pre-built, minimal OS.
  • Running Qt5 Apps – Build an example custom Linux image packaged with the Qt version 5 framework.
