The Yocto-based OpenSTLinux embedded software is part of the STM32 MPU embedded software offer.
It is a set of software (see architecture overview), system build and development tools created to ease the development to be done on top of STM32 MPU devices.
Yocto-based OpenSTLinux embedded software includes:
- a Linux® distribution, running on the Arm® Cortex®-A processor(s): OpenSTLinux distribution
- firmwares, running on the Arm® Cortex®-M processor: FwST-M Packages (only for STM32MP15x lines
and STM32MP2 series) - and enriched OpenSTLinux expansion packages that can be applied on the top of the Yocto-based OpenSTLinux embedded software to enable the use of additional components for a specific feature (such as AI-based computer vision).
The Yocto-based OpenSTLinux embedded software offers three development packages that let developers select the support that best meets their needs:
- the OpenSTLinux starter package to quickly and easily start with the evaluation boards. It delivers a software image (binary) that includes pre-built examples (a.k.a. firmware) of the package(s) running on the Arm® Cortex®-M coprocessor.
- the OpenSTLinux developer package to add your own developments on top of the Yocto-based OpenSTLinux® embedded software. It delivers:
- the components of the OpenSTLinux board support package (BSP) in source code (e.g., Linux® kernel), and the software development kit (SDK), based on Yocto SDK, for cross-development on an host PC,
- the components of the software packages running on the Arm® Cortex®-M coprocessor in source code (e.g., STM32Cube MPU Package HAL), and the STM32CubeIDE as integrated development environment (IDE).
- the OpenSTLinux distribution package to create your own Yocto-based Linux® embedded software, as well as your own starter and developer packages. It delivers the source code of all the software components of the Yocto-based OpenSTLinux® embedded software, and uses the Yocto Project as the underlying building and distribution generation framework.
Note that, per default, none OpenSTLinux expansion package is included in these development packages.
