Hi @Softcity 

python3-pip is a package provided by our ecosystem.

Could you refresh the apt database and get the python3-pip status with the following commands

root@stm32mp1:~# apt-get update
root@stm32mp1:~# apt-cache policy python3-pip

 and gives me the output please?

Best regards,

@Softcity 

ensure you are running the latest Starter Package for your board (use the FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157d-dk1-optee.tsv).

Hi @Softcity 

please try

 apt-get install python3-gpiod

as a general rule, to know if a package is available with apt-get, you could use

apt-get update
apt-cache search xxxx
