STM32MP157A-DK1 can run LINUX and Python code?

[KC]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to using STM32MP1, in particular I bought a STM32MP157A-DK1 and I wanted to know if it was feasible to load Linux with the classic GUI, open a TCP-IP server and run some python code that I had already developed.

Thank you all

Hi @Community membereriani​ ,

Well, that depends what you intend by "Linux with the classic GUI".

STM32MP157A-DK1 is the version of board without embedeed DSI display.

You can have GUI using HDMI output.

STM32MP157A-DK1 is able to load and run OpenSTLinux, specific linux version wich use Weston/Wayland as GUI manager.

For sure you can open TCP-IP server and run some python code.

As you are new with STM32MP1 I recommand you to start with :

Getting started - stm32mpu

And discover what the "Starter Package" already bring for you.

Hope it help

Hi @Community member​ 

Thanks for the prompt reply

By "Linux with the classic GUI" I mean whether it was possible to load like GNOME or other desktop environments.
