This article aims to present the mandatory and optional material needed for the STM32MP257F-DK Discovery kits: the part numbers are specified in the STM32MP25 microprocessor part numbers article.

Warning

To start efficiently the board, it is recommended to go through the Starter Package article relative to your board: Category:Starter Package

Mandatory

PC	Linux or Windows operating systems. See PC prerequisites for more details on the required configurations
STM32MP257x-DK Discovery kit	Flexible and complete development platform for the STM32MP25 microprocessor device including: a MB1605 board
microSDTM card	It is populated with OpenSTLinux distribution (Linux software), and provides extra storage capacity. An 16-Gbyte minimum microSD card is needed.
USB type-C cable	It connects the STM32MP257x-DK Discovery kit to the PC through the USB type-C (ST-LINK/V3) connector.
USB type-C cable	It connects the STM32MP257x-DK Discovery kit to a USB OTG device through the USB type-C connector.

Optional

LCD screen - recommended	Two types of screen are possible: LVDS or HDMI
USB keyboard and mouse	Thanks to the USB type A connectors, the STM32MP257x-DK Discovery kit can be equipped with a full-size keyboard and mouse.
Ethernet cable	It can connect the STM32MP257x-DK Discovery kit to a network through the RJ45 connector.
Camera	MIPI CSI-2 Camera

Optionally, devices and extension boards might be plugged to the STM32MP257x-DK Discovery kit thanks to connectors such as:

• GPIO expansion connector
• ...
