This article aims to give the following information:
- How to download and install the latest OpenSTLinux distribution for the STM32 microprocessors Series
- Where to find the associated release note
- Where to find the previous releases (archives)
1. STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.2.0 release[edit source]
- The STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution is delivered through a manifest repository location and a manifest revision (openstlinux-20-02-19).
- The installation relies on the repo command. In case the Repo tool (a Google-built repository management tool that runs on top of Git) is not yet installed and configured on the host PC, refer to the PC prerequisites article.
- The OpenSTLinux distribution is massively using open source software (OSS) packages that are downloaded from a variety of open source repositories; so it is required that the IT infrastructure proxies do not forbid such accesses. If some proxy-related issues are suspected, refer to the How to avoid proxy issues article.
- Install the STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution
| STM32MP1 Distribution Package OpenSTLinux distribution - STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.2.0 release | |
|---|---|
| Installation |
$ cd <working directory path>/Distribution-Package
$ mkdir openstlinux-20-02-19 $ cd openstlinux-20-02-19
For Ubuntu 16.04 you should use the legacy repo, procedure to install here
$ repo init -u https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/oe-manifest.git -b refs/tags/openstlinux-20-02-19 Note: "ERROR 404" may appear during "repo init" command without any impact on the process
$ repo sync Note: Distribution package needs around 140MB to be installed (and around 25GB once distribution package is compiled). |

2.2. STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.0.0 release[edit source]
- The STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution is delivered through a manifest repository location and a manifest revision (openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-02-20).
- The installation relies on the repo command. In case the Repo tool (a Google-built repository management tool that runs on top of Git) is not yet installed and configured on the host PC, refer to the PC prerequisites article.

- Install the STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux distribution
| STM32MP1 Distribution Package OpenSTLinux distribution - STM32MP15-Ecosystem-v1.0.0 release | |
|---|---|
| Installation |
$ cd <working directory path>/Distribution-Package
$ mkdir openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-02-20 $ cd openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-02-20
Details: The below command downloads (in the .repo directory) the latest repo source code and a manifest file (default.xml)) that describes the directory structure of the repositories for OpenSTLinux. The -u option specifies the manifest repository location, while the -b option specifies its branch. $ repo init -u https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/oe-manifest.git -b refs/tags/openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-02-20 Note: "ERROR 404" may appear during "repo init" command without any impact on the process
Details: If a local project does not yet exist, the command clones a new local directory from the remote repository and sets up tracking branches as specified in the manifest. If the local project already exists, the command updates the remote branches and rebases any new local changes on top of the new remote changes. $ repo sync |
