How to install pip or python package (as pyserial.py)

[Olivier73]

Hi,

How can I install pyserial.py python modul on Discovery kit STM32MP135F.
I would like also install pip 

Thank you for your help.

Have you got your internet working yet?

Presumably, it would be the same as installing it on any other Debian system?

Hi @Olivier73 

if you have an internet access, you can type the following two commands from your board console:

root@stm32mp1:~ # apt-get update
root@stm32mp1:~ # apt-get install python3-pyserial

The python3-pyserial package is provided by default in the OpenSTLinux distribution.

Best regards,

Hello Jean-Marc, Andrew,

I thing I am connected with internet (I not sure).

If I test : (see bellow the error message)

apt-get update

root@stm32mp1:/etc/wpa_supplicant# apt-get update

Hi @Olivier73 

You have a old OpenSTLinux image on your board. I would recommend to upgrade it with the last OpenSTLinux ecosystem (currently 5.0).

To my mind, the error you see comes from an uninitialized date on your board. Try to update the date with the command:

root@stm32mp1:~# date 041714172024
root@stm32mp1:~# date
Wed Apr 17 14:17:01 UTC 2024

Then replay your apt commands.

Best regards

Thanks Jean-Marc,
It's ok now I've been able to install pyserial.
I know I need to update the OpenSTLinux image but for that I need a VM with linux on my laptop and I need authorization from my company to install it. I'll do it as soon as possible.

Thanks again,

Olivier
