How to create STM32MP157AAAx Example Project

[MBhin]

Hi ST Community,

i am using STM32CubeIDE. But i can not create an example project as i am getting the following error.

But according to old posts related to STM32MP157, other users have created the example project successfully. Need some help please for getting started.

i am using STM32CubeIDE v1.0.0.

Best Regards,

Usman

You will find many informations in the wiki (https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32MP15_Discovery_kits_-_getting_started).

Note that 'Starter Package' is only Binaries for our DK1/DK2 and EV1 boards, including demo. You cannot modify the kernel, but you can already trial your own eser application (see example in wiki Create_a_simple_hello-world_application).

thank you for your reply. I have question relate to loading linux images.

I used the following (https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Getting_started/STM32MP1_boards/STM32MP157x-EV1/Let%27s_start/Unpack_the_STM32MP157x-EV1_board) ST wiki page to load linux image into STM32MP15x-EVAL with STM32MP157AAA3 Processor. But when i used following command i get an error and i am sure i am using the 000 boot mode for flashing SD-Card.

But when i used stm32mp157a-dk1 i don't have above problem, instead i go till Flashing service completed successfully

but it do not show me the mentioned screens on board lcd.

After complete loading i changed the boot mode to b101 but still nothing. Could you please gide, where the problem could be?

[PatrickF]

Could you add a console log during the SD-Card Flashing of EVAL board and during the DK1 unsuccessful boot as sell ? (using the Virtual Comm Port of ST-Link)

Hi, it has following issue

i tried with another d card and now i am getting following error

DK1 board is a DK2 board without the daughter board (LCD, WIFI, BT). So how could you have a LCD on your DK1 board ? I guess you have a DK2 board so should use the right TSV file.

[PatrickF]

on EVAL board, could you try Flashing eMMC instead of SD-Card, using FlashLayout_emmc_stm32mp157c-ev1-trusted.tsv ?

If fail during USB reconnect, could you try to add -tm 20000 to the CubeProgrammer command line ?

[MBhin]

thank you so much everyone for helping me, it was very helpful. its working now.

one last question on this topic, can we debug the hello world example, which run on linux?

[PatrickF · Accepted solution]

Good to hear it is working, for our knowledge, what's went wrong ?

For Linux debug, please have a look to https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Linux_tracing,_monitoring_and_debugging

@PatrickF​  thank you once again. it was problem with flashing SDCard which i received with EVAL board, at first i could flash FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157a-dk1-trusted.tsv on my SDCard but not FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-ev1-trusted.tsv on it. But problem with dk1 linux images is that it wasn't booting my STM32MP15X-EVAL. I used another SD Card for flashing FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-ev1-trusted.tsv and i had success this time. Afterwards everything went as mentioned in wiki of getting started with STM32MP157X-EVAL. I was also abled to used the first SD card after formating it, for flashing FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp157c-ev1-trusted.tsv and booting purposes.
