Revision as of 16:33, 10 October 2019
This article shows how to start up a STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation boards (high-end development platforms for the STM32MP15 microprocessor devices). 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.
It lists the required material, points to the board features description, and gives the step-by-step process to set up the system.
Finally, it proposes to run some basic use cases and to discover some of the board capabilities.
1. Starter Package content
If you are not yet familiar with the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution and its Packages, please read the following articles:
- Which STM32MPU Embedded Software Package better suits your needs (and especially the Starter Package chapter)
- STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution
If you are already familiar with the Starter Package for the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution, the fast links to essential commands might interest you.
To sum up, this Starter Package provides:
- the software image for the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution, which includes:
- the binaries for the OpenSTLinux distribution
- one or more firmware example(s) for the STM32Cube MPU Package
- the tool (STM32CubeProgrammer) to install this image on the STM32MP15 Evaluation board
2. Starter Package step-by-step overview
The following steps are required to get the STM32MP15 Evaluation board up and running:
☐ Checking the material
☐ Assembling the board
☐ Installing the tools
☐ Downloading the image and flashing it on the board
☐ Booting the board
Once these steps are achieved, you are able to:
- check the boot sequence
- execute basic commands
- run basic use cases
- discover on your own the capabilities of the STM32MP15 Evaluation board
3. Checking the material
Mandatory

5.2. Preparing the USB serial link for flashing
It is recommended to use the USB (in DFU mode) for flashing rather than the UART, which is too slow.
Below indications on how to install the USB in DFU mode under Linux and Windows OS, respectively.
- For Linux host PC or Windows host PC with VMWare:
The libusb1.0 package (including USB DFU mode) must be installed to be able to connect to the board via the USB port. This is achieved by typing the following command from the host PC terminal:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
To allow STM32CubeProgrammer to access the USB port through low-level commands, proceed as follows:
cd <your STM32CubeProgrammer install directory>/Drivers/rules
sudo cp *.* /etc/udev/rules.d/
- For Windows host PC:
Run the “STM32 Bootloader.bat” file to install the STM32CubeProgrammer DFU driver and activate the STM32 microprocessor device in USB DFU mode. This driver (installed by STM32 Bootloader.bat) is provided within the STM32CubeProgrammer release package. It is located in the DFU driver folder, \Drivers\DFU_Driver.
In case of issue, refer to How to proceed when the DFU driver installation fails on Windows host PC.
To validate the installation, the DFU driver functionality can be verified by following the FAQ instructions provided in how to check if the DFU driver is functional.
6. Downloading the image and flashing it on the board
6.1. Image download
- The STM32MP1 image (binaries) is delivered through one tarball file named
- Download and install the STM32MP1 image (binaries):
The software package is provided AS IS, and by downloading it, you agree to be bound to the terms of the software license agreement (SLA). The detailed content licenses can be found here.

6.2. Image flashing
The STM32CubeProgrammer tool is used to flash the STM32MP15 Evaluation board with the downloaded image.
Several Flash devices (microSD, eMMC...) are available on this board: see the STM32MP15 Flash mapping article if you want to know more about the supported Flash memory technologies, and the Flash partitions. The steps below consider the microSD card as the Flash device.
As explained in the boot chains overview, the trusted boot chain is the default solution delivered by STMicroelectronics. Thus, the steps below use the image for the trusted boot chain.
Let's flash the downloaded image on the microSD card:
- Remove the jumper JP1 (1)
- Set the boot switches (2) to the off position
- Connect the USB micro-AB (OTG) port (3) to the host PC that contains the downloaded image
- Insert the delivered microSD card into the dedicated slot (4)
- Connect the delivered power supply to the power connector (5) of the MB1263 daughterboard
- Press the reset button (6) to reset the board
- Go to the Starter Package directory that contains the binaries and the Flash layout files
cd <Starter Package installation directory>/stm32mp1-openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-10-09/images/stm32mp1
the proposition to organize the working directory, the command is cd Starter-Package/stm32mp1-openstlinux-4.19-thud-mp1-19-10-09/images/stm32mp1If you have followed the
- Check that the STM32CubeProgrammer tool is installed and accessible; if not, go to the installation procedure (installing the tools)

- to know more about the flashing operation
7. Booting the board
Now that the image is flashed on the STM32MP157x-EV1 Evaluation board, let's finalize the system configuration:
- Step 1: check the configuration of the switches and jumpers:
- The boot related switches must be configured so that the device (e.g. microSD card ) on which the image has been flashed is selected as boot source.
- The jumpers related to the UART4 of the STM32MP15 microprocessor device must be set so that UART4 is used by the ST-LINK/V2-1 controller (7)
- The figure below shows the boot switches for the recommended boot from microSD card.
- Step 2: (optionally) connect a USB keyboard and/or a USB mouse (not provided) using the USB type-A ports (10 and 11).
- Step 3: (optionally) connect an Ethernet cable (not provided) to the dedicated connector (13).


- MB1262 motherboard
- MB1263 daughterboard: STM32MP157x 18x18 PMIC DDR3
- MB1230 DSI 720p display
- MB1379 daughterboard camera
- MicroSD card slot
- MB1263 power 5V-3A
- USB micro-B (ST-LINK/V2-1) → PC virtual COM port and debug
- Display leds
- Reset button
- 2 x USB type A (host) → E.g. mouse keyboard USB driver...
- 2 x USB type A (host) → E.g. mouse Keyboard USB driver...
- UART → PC console
- Ethernet → Network
- Step 4: if the Flash device is a microSD card, check that it is inserted into the dedicated slot (5).
- Step 5: connect the delivered power supply (5V, 3A) to the power connector (6) of the MB1263 daughterboard. Check that the display board (MB1230) is well connected. In this case, the 2 green LEDs (8) are switched on.
- Step 6: (optionally) install and configure a remote Terminal program (e.g. Minicom on Ubuntu Linux PC or Tera Term on Windows PC) onto your host PC, and connect
- either the ST-LINK/V2-1 USB micro-B port (7) to a host PC that runs a Terminal program with ST-LINK/V2-1 virtual port (recommended method)
- or the RS232 UART4 connector (12) to the host PC that runs a Terminal program with COM1 port.
- the ST-LINK/V2-1 USB micro-B port (7) and the RS232 UART4 connector (12) cannot be used simultaneously: see how to set the JP4 and JP5 jumpers to select one of the two configurations
- Step 7: press the reset button (9) to reset the board
The board boots and the system will be available after few seconds.
