How can I dump/install linux OS in STM32 boards? Tool chains necessary for it

[Apill]

I have STM32F4 discovery kit, Keil trail version with 32KByte code size limit, I am interested in knowing how can i install Linux OS in stm32 discoveryF4 board? and I would like to know the following:

1. with tool chain I have( Keil trail vesion) is it possible to install linux OS? currently i cannot license MDK professional or any other licences.
2. can stm32f4 suffice my requirement or Do i need a higher end version of board like stm32f7?

uCLinux​ perhaps.

Look at the MP1 series​

uCLinux only.

A proper Linux requires a MMU, which no Cortex M has.

You won't get happy with a 32k-limited test version of a toolchain in this case, though.

The OS would do what in this context?

If the 32KB of Keil is limiting, perhaps you could just use a GNU/GCC based toolset.

hi clive, will stm32 cube ide work in my case ?

Hi,

I'm thinking on testing Linux on STM32 as well.

The size-limit license will not help, but KEIL/IWARM won't as well, as the kernel is a GCC/Makefile project... the tools are free!

Is uCLinux maintained? I think it's stuck on Linux 2.6 - isn't it?

Mainstream kernel.org has a stm32_defconfig and stm32429i-eval.dts, umong other DTSs.
