Does this MPU STM32MP157 require an OS if I plan to use the GPU?

You can do it without an OS.

But to properly use the GPU you need the documentation how to work with it.

And that is not public available AFAIK.

you can try to load the driver. But then you have to emulate an OS to the driver...

i would strongly recomend to use an already working OS.

Thanks a lot for the answer!

I don't mind to use a OS.

Don't you know how fast it boots?

I have quite a little time after the power button is pressed.

About 3-4 seconds at most.

Don't you know is it possible to load only the GPU driver in the OS and thus to speed the OS boot up?

As far as I understand it will be a Linux. And Linuxes usually are bloated with a lot of excessive stuff.
