This article aims to present the mandatory and optional material needed for an STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board. It is valid both for the STM32MP157A-EV1 and STM32MP157C-EV1 Evaluation boards: the part numbers are specified in the STM32MP15 microprocessor part numbers article.
Mandatory
| PC | Linux or Windows operating systems. See PC prerequisites for more details on the required configurations |
| STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board (STM32MP157A-EV1 or STM32MP157C-EV1) |
High-end development platform for the STM32MP15 microprocessor device including: |
| Power supply | Power supply block (5V, 3A) for the MB1263 daughterboard |
| MicroSD card | It is populated with OpenSTLinux distribution (Linux software), and provides extra storage capacity. A 2-Gbyte minimum MicroSD card is needed |
| USB micro-B cable | It connects the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to the PC through the USB micro-B (ST-LINK/V2-1) connector |
| USB micro-AB cable | It connects the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to an USB OTG device through the USB micro-AB connector |
Optional
| USB keyboard and mouse | Thanks to the USB type A connectors, the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board can be equipped with a full-size keyboard and mouse |
| Ethernet cable | It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to a network through the RJ45 connector |
| RS232 cable | It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to the PC through the UART connector as an alternative of the ST-LINK/V2-1 connection |
| CAN cable | It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to CAN devices through the CAN FD/TT connectors |
| Trace cable | It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to an external tool through the Trace connector |
| JTAG cable | It can connect the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board to an external tool through the JTAG connector |
Optionally, devices and extension boards might be plugged to the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board thanks to connectors such as:
- the Ethernet daughterboard connector
- the GPIO expansion connector
- the Motor control connector
