Known issues and limitations

• It is not possible to set the device into the 'Engineering Mode' (M4 debugging without linux running)
• This board provides very limited peripherals for using with M4
• DSI interface is not tested

Description of board components

The following sections describe the hardware components and, if available their interface to to linux os.

Power supply

The power supply is located on X4. The nominal supply voltage is 24V. The average current for the board with display is lower than 200mA.

Boot switches

The boot source can be selected by boot switches on the bottom side of the baseboard. For devices with display you have to disassemble the baseboard to be able to change the boot switches. See Appendix to locate the boot switches on your board.

Some remarks to the boot modes:

• As long as the STM32MP1 SOC has no USB connection in USB boot mode, LED1 blinks fast.
• The boards are delivered with SD boot setting.

For these Demo-Kits a boot configuration is written in OTP memory:

BOOT_CONFIG3 = 0x22000000

This means the boot priority are as follos:

As a conclusion, the setting of SD/NOR boot switch doesn't matter! Only USB boot switch is useful if the device should be started with CubeProgrammer.

See ST Wiki for documentation of boot fuses settings.

Serial Interfaces

Also see Using the hardware.

How to configure RS485/CAN mode for X18 can be found in Board Layout

CAN Interfaces

Also see Using the hardware.

How to configure RS485/CAN mode for X18 can be found in Board Layout

Ethernet

Also see Using the hardware.

Digital IOs

Also see Using the hardware.

Two digital inputs/outputs (either or) are available. If used as output the state can be read back from the associating input.

The table below shows number and function of available GPIOs. You can access them via the standard GPIO sysfs interface /sys/class/gpio or by libgpiod (commands gpio*).

Analog inputs

There are two analog inputs available on the board, connected to the internal ADC

For voltage calculation in mV from the raw value see STMicroelectronics Wiki The scaling formula for the board is:
Uconnector = Uadc * 11

For simplicity there is a adcread script to read adc values which observes all offsets, and scaling factors. To read out channel 5 on device adc 0 call:

> adcread 0 5
ADC0.5: 16 mV

LEDs

There are 3 debug LEDs available and can be controlled by linux user space or are used by M4 demo program

I2C busses

On this board there are two i2c busses used:

Devices on i2c-1

Devices on i2c-2

USB host

Also see Using the hardware.

Two USB 2.0 host interfaces are available on connector X9.

USB OTG

Also see Using the hardware.

One USB OTG port is available on connector X7. This USB OTG port is required for USB boot mode.

Audio

Also see Using the hardware.

A speaker can be plugged in X10

Display Interfaces

Also see Using the hardware.

The display is connected via the 40 pin RGB 24 interface (X13). The touch lines for the touch controller are pinned separately via X5. The Display can be connected directly to the standard Kontron Display without need of an adapter.

The board is additionally equiped with an 50 pin RGB interface (X12). The touch controller pins are included. With this interface customer specific displays can be connected via a convenient display adapter (bonded on the display).

On X1 there is also a DSI interface.

Display backlight

Also see Using the hardware.

Display backlight is realized by Timer 4, channel 3. It is accessible thru linux /sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness interface.

RTC

Also see Using the hardware.

On this board the internal RTC is used.

FAQ

My board doesn't boot any more

If your board doesn't boot any more check these things:

• Check if 5V and 3.3V led are lighten green. If none lights up, check your power supply. If only one lights up, your board is damaged!
• Check the boot switches. If LED1 flashes fast immediately after the power is switched on, it seems, that the device is in USB downloader mode. Either the boot switches are set to USB boot or the boot device doesn't contain a valid tf-a boot loader.
• Check your serial connection (115200 baud, 8bits, no parity)
• Try to boot from a fresh written SD card with bootable content
